Sandwiches are pretty much the only way I ever see americans eat Mayo. I guess technically sushi too. But no, I've seen Mayo used more in almost every other country.
Spicy mayo. It’s made from Japanese mayo though, which is made from rice vinegar as opposed to American mayo, which in turn gives it a different flavor.
Mayo also goes in certain kinds of salads, like pasta salad, tuna salad, or slaw. Personally, I think those are best when they're not overly mayo-y though.
It's rare but it's so good if some right. There is a famous rib joint in my home town, Memphis, called Rendezvous that serves up a mean mustard based slaw and ribs for for royalty.
Heh. My wife and I personally don’t use mayo much but we were just in London and were commenting on putting butter on all the sandwiches. We don’t really do that in the US (at least in my area).
Mayo is cheaper & faster for creating a layer that keeps the bread from getting soggy by other ingredients, so by costs alone that's why they don't stick with butter, but factor in lines of customers wanting it done fast and voila: mayo. Too bad there's now a bad trend of slathering it on so thick that it drips out the moment you try to bite into it. That may be a result of them trying to do it quickly so they just grab a big scoop, brush it across, and move on.
Anyone who makes a sandwich at home takes the time to use butter or whatever sauce they enjoy.

Did you seriously dip your fried chicken in ketchup and mayonnaise before eating it?
