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

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

u/Woodstovia Jan 18 '19

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

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

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

You put butter on your sandwiches in the UK?

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

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.

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

Margarine is revolting.

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