Mayo is acidic enough that it actually acts as a mild preservative. (Left in the sun it's gross, but not dangerous to eat.)

Yep, it's the germs on the potatoes or whatever that causes the problem, not the mayo.
No KIDDING?! Huh. I totally did not know that.
me either!
I just checked TV Guide.com, and they show Agent Carter on tomorrow night, after the State of the Union and another show.
It's a rerun of last week's episode.
Oh, OK. Thanks.
Also, commercial mayo is way more stable than homemade.
There used to be a modern automat in NYC, which I went to a couple of times. They had delicious macaroni and cheese croquettes, but how can you go wrong with that?
I'm pretty sure that my mother took my sister and myself to the NY automat when I was really young ... but it would have been long enough ago that I could easily be mistaken.
I guess a resurgence wouldn't fly between modern day health codes and the way some people behave in restaurants.
Actually, I feel like I've heard they are making a comeback. In Norway? Somewhere in Europe whence they might leap back over here.
I would guess the key to a successful Automat would be high turn, so the food would stay fresh and delicious in the cases until it was selected. Complying with health codes ought to be a technologically solvable issue.
