CASE 1: Mayonnaise

About three days ago, I bought a 40 fl. oz. jar of MAYO REAL MAYONNAISE by KRAFT because it was on sale at $1.99 a jar. Best Foods' mayonnaise was also on sale at $2.50 for a 32 fl. oz. jar. I thought I'd give KRAFT's mayonaise a try.

Well. . . I'm very disappointed. It doesn't taste like mayonnaise to me. The color is suspicious. It's too whitish to have been made with eggs. I looked at the list of ingredients on the label on the back of the jar. It says, "CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF EGG YOLKS. . . ."

What? Less than 2%? Aren't eggs the most important ingredient of mayonnaise? The following is the ingredient list from the recipe for mayonnaise dressing in LADIE'S HOME JOURNAL ADVENTURES IN COOKING (:

quote:

---

2 egg yolks or 1 egg
1 cup salad oil
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
1 tablespoon hot water

---

These ingredients should yield about 1 and 1/4 cups of mayonnaise. One egg is about 1/4 of a cup. Let's suppose one egg yolk is one half of that, 1/8 of a cup. Then the egg yolk represents 10% of the mayonnaise made with the above ingredients. If two egg yolks are used, they represent 20%.

I don't think MAYO REAL MAYONNAISE by KRAFT qualifies as real mayonnaise.

Can somebody check the egg yolk content of Best Foods' mayonnaise? Theirs may be higher than KRAFT's.

Its home ec all over again! I payed 30 dollars so i could never have to do this again noooooooooooooooo.

eggs are just the emulsifing agent in mayo. its about 4:1 eggs to fat. if you want your mayo to stay longer you use less eggs. if you want REAL mayo, make your own. or maybe try some ranch dressing on your turkey sandwhich.

Hahaha. I love Gus and his random bits of food info. I used to know how many eggs Bovine's used to make corn pudding, but I can't remember. I wanna say 108.

YAY FOR USELESS INFO!

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone; he also needs Mayonnaise.'"

Luke 4:4 (Julian Solos Translation)

2 egg yolks
salt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (not the kind from the bottle, yuck. Dijon or Dutch mustard please)
2 tablespoons vinegar (plain or wine vinegar)
canola oil (at least a quart, don't want to end up with too little oil halfway!)



That sounds gross, dude. Dutch mayonnaise ew. It has mustard.

Heresy!

Duke's Mayonnaise is the only stuff worth actually paying money for. But then again, that's all we like down here.

That's a load of bullshit. I hate Duke's, and I'm from "down there".

i tried miracle whip when i was in missouri.

eww.

fuck you, and dijon is also an emulsifier. we just went to bovines the other night and i swear to the christ himself that corn pudding is the best fucking soufle ive ever eaten.

I question your Southern heritage.

I'm eating peanut butter on whole wheat toast... yummy, and drinking coffee by the gallon..... mmmmmm love coffee with 18% cream in it.

And I don't give a shit. That's stupid to assume that because a person is from the south they automatically like a certain food or condiment.

I hate:

ham
fat back
butter beans
creamed corn
steak
green beans and all things made with green beans
black eyed peas



And I don't like Duke's. So fuck off. And before you say, "BUT BUT I WAS JOKING", let me tell you it wasn't funny, will never be funny, and please don't ever try to be funny again.

omy goodness... remind me not to offend you wicked lady..

I thought I was being nice.

I wasn't joking

Good. Now instead of calling you a regular tard, I can call you a boring tard with no personality.

lmao i love reading your posts wicked.
