Mayonnaise for/against? What's your favourite?

[Dave7]

We don’t eat Mayonnaise since my Wife did a health and safety at work course and was told Mayonnaise being made with Eggs it could cause a serious illness. Since then most bought sandwiches contain Mayonnaise so we search for non Mayo sandwiches when we are out and need to eat.

My wife also made the mistake of taking a H&S course aimed at food hygiene. IMO a major mistake.
I am nearly 78, eaten mayo as long as I can remember and (I think) I am still here.

On that basis, how have the French, Belgian and Dutch populations who are fond of the stuff not died out completely?
I just don’t much like mayonnaise, especially if eggy bleurgh

It looks and tastes like what you find in the sump after head gasket failure.

I don't like Mayo. I don't see the point of it.

I like salad cream. At least it tastes of something unlike Mayo

I find that salad cream over powers the taste of of the food whereas mayo compliments it.

Love the stuff. Have it on most evening meals, meals where people would be saying (or thinking) "what! ...". Cooked veg, pizzas, everything. Helman's Mayonnaise.

Totally different condiments, with different uses and purposes IMO.

Both have their place, and we always have some of each in the fridge.
