I've never been a fan of mayonnaise. I grew up with my mother buying
Miracle Whip/"salad dressing". I use prepared mayonnaise and prepared
mustard (Dijon) in some cooking applications. But to eat it merely
slathered on slices of bread or on a sandwich bun for a burger or a chicken
sandwich, etc. um, no thank you

I have never tasted or made homemade mayonnaise. People keep telling me
I'll really love it... but I really don't think I will. So I don't plan to
make it. I'm pretty sure I will never like pimientos and green olives,
either. Sorry!
