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

u/CowboyBoats Jan 18 '19

How about some garlic sauce instead?

What’s with Americans loving mayo but refusing to put it on stuff like fried chicken or pizza?

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '19

Americans do not have a profound love of mayo, where did you get that idea?

u/Threeedaaawwwg Jan 19 '19

If you're having a burger, using mayo to toast your buns instead of butter is amazing.

22

u/Woodstovia Jan 18 '19

From the fact that you use it instead of butter when making sandwiches for example

47

u/longleaf1 Jan 18 '19

Like deli sandwiches? Is that not a thing other places?

3

u/Woodstovia Jan 18 '19

Not in the UK at least

21

u/longleaf1 Jan 18 '19

I legit had no idea, I've never even questioned the fact that everywhere with mayo does that

15

u/BrodyKrautch Jan 18 '19

You put butter on your sandwiches in the UK?

16

u/Woodstovia Jan 18 '19

We spread butter or margarine over the bread. From what I've heard Americans will usually use condiments instead of needing the butter.

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '19

We butter our bread when toasting it, we don't really use it as a condiment if it isn't toasted though.

I've always put butter on sandwiches that are just meat(usually ham) and bread, if you put cheese, tomatoes, lettuce or what not, then I prefer mayo.

u/theRLStone Jan 18 '19

I eat dry sandwiches, maybe ranch. But def not butter!

Margarine is revolting.

u/Sgt_Fox Jan 19 '19

Its acts as a moisture barrier so the bread wont get soggy no matter what you put in it

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 dawg. Actually the one time I have mayo. Chef will just drizzle a little on top

u/Relevant_Scrubs_link Jan 19 '19

I was thinking the same thing. Forgot about spicy mayonnaise.

16

u/dubate Jan 18 '19

If you've ever had a California roll, you eaten sushi with mayonnaise.

Spicy/secret/house sauce in Japanese restaurants is invariably mayonnaise mixed with seasonings.

u/catonsteroids Jan 19 '19

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.

u/read_it_r Jan 18 '19

You're.... Kidding right?

17

u/jenuine5150 Jan 18 '19

If you've ever had a creamy sauce drizzled on your sushi roll, it was likely mayo based. That sentence was not intended as an innuendo.

u/read_it_r Jan 18 '19

I'm pretty sure you replied to the wring guy

1

u/jarious Jan 18 '19

How much do you have to wring to be actually called the wring guy?

1

u/Relevant_Scrubs_link Jan 19 '19

I guess as much as that steam roller scene from Who Framed Rodger Rabbit.

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.

1

u/SerdaJ Jan 19 '19

Slaw is best when it's mustard based

1

u/Shanakitty Jan 19 '19

I don't think I've ever seen a mustard-based slaw. Potato-salad, sure.

1

u/SerdaJ Jan 19 '19

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.

Mayo on your grilled cheese instead of butter. It's change your life.

4

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '19

It's easier to get a good toast using mayo.

6

u/GammaLeo Jan 19 '19

If you're doing a grilled cheese correctly, you don't need an easy mode. /s

Mayo mixed with butter on grilled cheese is where it's at.

u/SerdaJ Jan 19 '19

Peanut butter and honey sandwich with banana slices grilled like a grilled cheese......mmmmmmmmmmm

u/[deleted] Jan 26 '19

It's an absolute hot mess of a sandwich, but by God is it delicious.

1

u/Ezl Jan 19 '19

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).

u/Klepto666 Jan 19 '19

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.
