Aha! Found it. "I don't know, but I want one."
I should get back to work.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mayonnaise is an abomination. That's in Leviticus somewhere, I swear it.
Are you talking about this passage:
And Moses said to Aaron and to Elea'zar and Ith'amar, his sons, "Do not let the hair of your heads hang loose, and do not partake of the mayonnaise, lest you die, and lest wrath come upon all the congregation; but your brethren, the whole house of Israel, may bewail the burning which the LORD has kindled.
Some say that this was a mistaken translation and Moses was actually speaking about Miracle Whip rather than mayonnaise. After all, Moses had a lot of experience with miracles.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
After all, Moses had a lot of experience with Miracles.
And whips.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Okay, now I am incredibly hungry.

Mayo is repulsive on all things, though can be made into an interesting sauce with the addition of other crap

Someday, I will make homemade mayonnaise for you two, and make you recant this heresy.
I've never tried strawberries and balsamic vinegar, but that just seems wrong to me.
That's because you're thinking of American grocery store balsamic vinegar. Real balsamic vinegar is a thick syrup, and faintly sweet. It's nothing at all like vinegar as this country knows it.

Hey, can you make it with pork fat? My problem with mayo is my increasing intolerance for vegetable oils.
That'd ROCK.

If you can figure out how to make pork fat stay liquid at room temperature, I will whisk it into an egg yolk for you with some salt and lemon juice (and just a pinch of powdered mustard) and call it mayonnaise.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
my contribution to the crazy food talk is that San Fran likes carrots and I think there is a east coast/west coast and also a north/south us divide in many of these issues.
discuss.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've had homemade mayo plenty times (and for that matter, made a good bit of it myself.) It's tolerable in limited contexts, which puts it way above the jarred stuff, but still in the category of "more trouble than it's worth for something I don't actually like."
