I don't like the sour taste of mayonnaise. I rarely ever like mayonnaise on food especially on salad. I also don't like sandwich spreads with mayonnaise. My boss has a lot of stored mayonnaise-based sandwich spreads stored in the fridge which are free for me to use but they are instead, rotting away there. I also don't eat anything with mayonnaise because mayonnaise is made up of eggs, right? And I'm allergic to eggs. ^^ I do sometimes eat sandwich with mayonnaise but only during times that I'm very hungry and I don't have any other options. How about you people?

Mayonnaise? I like it very much! Although some study proven that mayo can cause many health issues. But we can also get benefits from it, it is a good source of vitamin E.

Well, it's really inconvenient especially if I want to eat dishes and foods with eggs. But sometimes, I still eat eggs and foods with eggs. I just limit what I eat.

So what do you like instead of mayo? My husband eats Miracle Whip salad dressing. Has about the same stuff in it, just less of some things and definitely more sugar. Way too sweet for me. Many people put mustard or ketchup on things here if they don't like mayo, for sandwihes, many people use butter. Olive oil or submarine oil are also favorites. So what have you tried instead?

I prefer ketchup than mayo although I don't use ketchup much either. I like cheese. When it comes to salad, I prefer the sweet all-purpose cream.

I used to like mayonnaise when i was a kid because of the sweet taste that comes with it. As i grew older, i began to find it weird and slowly withdrew myself away from that.. lol =D I'm alright with tatar sauce even there's a little bit of mayonnaise in it, but at least it's not so strong.. haha On top of that, mayonnaise has a weird smell that makes me want to puke whenever i smell it.. haha

I don't like cooked tomatoes although I can eat them raw. I have been in holiday hotels where tomatoe soup is served, and have to leave the room to avoid spontanous projectile vomiting (actually that doesn't bother me at all, but for some reason it upsets the other people at the same table or tables nearby).

I thought I was the only one who didn't like mayonnaise at all. I find it difficult to buy sandwiches with just plain ingrediants, most seem to have something extra added, like mayo, mustard, sauce etc. If I buy a burger, I have to wait for ages until they give me one with just the burger, no mayo, no relish, no gherkin. Why do most people spoil the taste of their food with all these other things. Everything must taste the same to them, so why bother with the food at all, they could save a lot of money if they just ate the mayo or sauce on its own.

But mayo and sauces are meant to be eaten together with some food. I doubt if there are lots of people who can eat it as it is. Now you know, you're not the only one who don't like mayonnaise.

Hello secretbear, Contrary to you, I love mayonnaise so much. If I could, I love to put mayonnaise on all my food Whenever I have free time at home, my husband and I love to have boiled eggs, potatoes, mixed vegetables and mayonnaise mixed together.

I love to use mayonnaise but my son hates it. He actually checks each item for it before biting into anything. If I order a chicken sandwich and forget to tell them no mayo I have to try so scrape it off and change the bun before he sees it. Sometimes he eats it without knowing and he doesn't even know it so I am not sure why he will not eat it by choice?

Your son and I are the same! Whenever I am given a sandwich I always check first if the spread has mayonnaise. If it has, then I will not eat it. But the only difference with me and your son is, if I eat a sandwich without knowing that it has mayonnaise, I will still be able to taste it and will stop eating it. Maybe in your son's case, it's purely psychological?

My husband is the same way. He dislikes mayonnaise. Actually, he loathes it! He does not like the texture and overall "look" of it, for some reason. He says he has been that way since he was just a little boy. As for me, I just love it! I eat hotdogs, burgers, and even breaded fish with just mayo for dipping or sidings.

I wonder why your husband does not like the overall look of mayo. I don't have a problem with how it looks. I just have a problem with its taste.

I don't hate mayonnaise but I don't like it either. I can eat sandwiches with mayonnaise but I hate it on salads. That's why I seldom eat macaroni salads :P

I never eat macaroni salads unless it is sweet and without mayo.

I used to dislike the taste of mayonnaise. But once I had to buy a sandwich from the cafetaria cos I was really hungry and there was nothing else to eat. And the sandwich had both mayonnaise and tomato (I'm not fond of tomatoes either). But hunger beat everything I guess. The sandwich wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. In fact, it was quite good. And now I buy it quite often even if there are other choices available. But if you were to ask me to eat mayonnaise elsewhere, I may not want to xP Cos there are different brands of mayonnaise and some really just don't taste nice.

If I had the same experience as you, finding a food with mayonnaise that tastes good, then I might consider eating more food mayonnaise.

Oh since you said the reason, I understand now. You just hate eggs and the sour taste. But if you ask me, I love mayonnaise, but I hate ketchup. I love mayonnaise, I dip any fried food there, and I love burger and french fries with mayo. I love salad with Mayo. I love Mayo with chips and also for wheat bread. I love munching Mayo when we have Mayo at home. I love the original flavor, I do not prefer the other with flavors like chicken, bacon, ham and cheese and whatever. And also, I can use Mayo for my hair. I apply it and it makes my hair stronger and shinnier. I love Mayo and I feel sad you do not like it, but since you said if you have no other choice of spreads and Mayo is available, you try it, it left a smile on my face.

I thought you were going to say something suspicious about the way they make ketchup! Maybe you've grown so tired of the smell that you cannot stand it anymore. It's probably just like, not eating your own cooking?

Yup, I don't like mayonnaise and I like ketchup. We're the opposites, grecy! But I don't use ketchup much even in fried food. If there's no other condiments other than ketchup and mayonnaise, I would choose ketchup.

I dislike ketchup because I worked in a manufacturing of Tomato sauce and Ketchup before. i cannot take the smell. it is not a foul odor but even while I was working before there, and I get used to smelling it, I just can't take it. I cannot take french fries with ketchup, I prefer mayo. However, banana ketchup and tomato ketchup is good to eat as it provides nutrients that is good for the heart.

It is pity to hear that you are allergic to eggs. No wonder you have to avoid Mayonnaise, no matter how delicious it is. I have a friend who also allergic to eggs, that she also avoiding the mayonnaise and even cakes. As for me, i loves to eat Mayonnaise a lot and even use it as sandwich spread. It is delicious to eat Mayonnaise as sandwich spread when we add hotdog into it.

Yeah, I have to avoid cakes because it contains a lot of eggs but I don't avoid cakes. Cakes are one of my favorite food! Especially chocolate cake. But I limit my intake since I know I'm allergic.

Wow, you should try to avoid eating cakes as much as you can. Because what i heard, there are more eggs in cakes than in mayonnaise. Hope you always take good care of your health.

But, I love mayo! It's yummy and deliciouso! I love it. But, I understand why you don't like. Maybe the texture or its extra softness makes you feel bad plus its sour taste. I can't blame you,but for me it's best to have salad and spreads with much of mayonnaise.

i do not like mayonnaise either sometimes i can stand to eat it on a cheeseburger and tuna salad but on nothing else and i can only eat a little bit where i can just barely taste it mayonnaise does come from eggs eggs that are rotted so it is kind of gross to think about how it is made but i see where your comming from not eating it because you are allergic to eggs so i wonder if you would be allergic to mayonnaise? if it wernt so expensive it would be fun just to go get tested and see but curosity is not enough to cover the expense of it

I've read somewhere, too that mayonnaise are made up from rotten eggs. That's one of the reason why I don't like mayonnaise. If I will just use it to my hair, then I can stand mayonnaise.
