I just discovered that my new coworker Anjuli hates mayonnaise too. We were placing our Mr. Pickles order and after I stated "no mayo, no mustard" she admitted that she thought mayonnaise was gross and made a putrid disgusted face. This was particularly amusing to me because it was basically the same face I make when the topic of mayo is brought up. So we proceeded to high five and discuss how nasty it is that people dip artichokes in mayonnaise. We agreed that basically artichoke leaves are like mayonnaise spoons for some people. Most people probably wouldn't eat spoon fulls of mayo (accept my mother-in-law, but that is a topic for another day) but they'll load it up on their artichoke shovels (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little). And don't even get me started on the fact that they think they're eating healthy because they're eating a vegetable. FYI - 1 tablespoon of mayo has 90 calories (all from fat) and 10 grams of fat (1.5 grams saturated).
So anyway, I am extremely happy to know that next time we order sandwiches for a lunch meeting, I won't be the only one requesting mine with no mayo.

Marinated Pork Sandwich
So, here is how the menu read:
Shredded Roast Pork Marinated in a Semi-Sweet & Spicy Southern Asian Marinade with Slices of Fresh Cucumber and Jalapeno Peppers and Sprigs of Cilantro on a Toasted French Roll. Served with Coleslaw on the Side.
So the sandwich came to the table and looked great! Until upon further inspection I discovered gobs of mayo ON BOTH SIDES of the bread...nasty! What part of that menu description says, "comes with loads of mayonnaise"? This is where you have to ask yourself a critical question...do I send it back? I didn't ask for "no mayo", but why would a pulled pork sandwich with Asian marinade come with mayo? If there had been mayo on one side I could possibly have salvaged the sandwich, but it was on both sides and was touching the meat...I was NOT eating this sandwich. So I decided to politely send it back. As you know this is a risky decision, but to be honest, after weighing the options, it was worth the risk. So I told the waitress that I was sorry, but I didn't think I could eat the sandwich with mayo on it and I didn't realize it came with it and could I please send it back and get a new one without mayo. She said she would ask the chef. About 10 minutes later the chef came out and personally delivered my new mayo-less lunch. He explained that the reason he puts mayo on it was so that the toasted french roll does not get soggy.
So I was appreciative of the new sandwich, but thought the explanation was lame. Protect the bread by ruining it with Mayo. There is a moral to this story though...always request "no mayonnaise" regardless of whether the menu states that it comes with it, or if you can't fathom that mayo would come on it. Better safe than sorry.
So the story has a happy ending too, without the mayo, this may have been one of the best pork sandwiches I have ever had. It was fantastic. Oh and bonus...instead of cole slaw on the side I got piping hot crispy french fries. I didn't ask for a substitution, I was just going to leave the slaw on the plate. But the fries were hella good. WAY better than some mayonnaise slaw would have been!

Introducing the newest mayo H8er!
Coralene Audrey Crawford - Loves Mommy and Daddy...Hates Mayonnaise!
Friday, April 30, 2010
Do you want your child growing up to be like this guy? I think not.
...so Heathy and I are due to introduce a new little person into the world next week. One new Mayo hater will be born. Seriously. I feel as a father it will be my obligation to teach the little one how incredibly wrong mayonnaise is. In fact I am declaring it a goal of mine to prevent him/her from ever having to knowingly consume the stuff. I am not going to say it would be the worst thing in the world, but I would die a little inside if my child came home from his/her friends house one day and said, "hey Daddy I just just had a mayonnaise sandwich over at Regan's house and it was super delicious.

Welcome to H8Mayo!
This is a Blog about mayonnaise and how putrid it is. Here is a link to Wikipedia describing what mayonnaise is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayonnaise
Try not to vomit while reading it.
One of the peculiar things about mayo is that the ingredients used to make it aren't all that gross; but when you blend them together it makes a substance more foul than something that is really gross. Anyway, my feelings and opinions about mayo go on and on so I will leave it at an introduction for now. More and more anti-mayo venom to come...
