It tastes like I imagine Satan's jockstrap would after it'd been worn continuously for about 300 years of energetic rugby, then stuffed with Stilton and left in a locker for about two eons. I believe you are confusing it with liverwurst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you in general, and PARTICULARLY with my inlaws' love of slathering mayo on cold crab and eating it on saltines. The smell alone...*shudder*. Anyhow, mayo, like many condiments, has its place, and if used sparingly, can be delicious. Used sparingly is the key element of proper mayofication though. Mayo in gross is....gross.

There is no acceptable use for mayo other than as part of a revenge for hire plot against your worst enemy. Even then, it's probably against the geneva convention or something.

KiDisaster Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Mayo is good on sandwiches in small amounts. Most sandwich shops seem to slather it on an inch thick though for some reason, and asking for "a little bit of mayo" has never made much difference in my experience. ETA: People who use mayo as dipping sauce for fries and such are abominations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of these things belongs within a hundred miles of a sandwich. Peanut butter neither. Jelly/jam to me is a sweet food and sandwiches are savoury - I was never in the sugar sandwiches/jam sandwiches brigade - so that doesn't really compute well either. Honey roast ham, some decently strong cheese, maybe a little pickled onion, maybe a few sliced cherry tomatoes, a smear of butter. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ormond Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 When I was a child I had a friend who introduced me to peanut butter, lettuce, and mayonnaise sandwiches. I haven't had one in years but I liked them when I was a teenager. I generally like mayonnaise -- and like the "real thing" much better than the "Miracle Whip" alternative. Of course, I also like liverwurst -- and have since I was a child. I've never tried lutefisk, Marmite, or Vegamite though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiDisaster Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I picked up a jar of Marmite on the way home for curiosity's sake and just had some on a piece of toast. I'd say it tastes quite like beer. Specifically a strong, somewhat bitter stout. Except also salty. Would be good with some sharp cheddar I think. Might make a grilled cheese with some tomorrow.

Xray the Enforcer Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I haven't tried Bovril yet, but I have high hopes I'll get to try it one day soon. I like Vegemite and Marmite. And mayo. I'm not a fan of lutefisk though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if it's ham and cheese it must be brown/granary bread. 45 minutes ago, KiDisaster said: I picked up a jar of Marmite on the way home for curiosity's sake and just had some on a piece of toast.

Marmite and strong cheddar pair very well together. You sir have excellent taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwiches are as versatile as they are glorious and I steadfastly oppose any attempt to pigeonhole them into one category or another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
