I didn’t acquire the taste for the Japanese mayonnaise. I wonder what mayonnaise is popular in France and what it tastes like?
We switch out between Duke’s and Hellmann’s. I got where I didn’t like Aldi’s version.
I've looked till I'm blue in the face trying to find out popular brands in Europe.
Most every country over their had laws on the amount of yolks used in mayonnaise and still legally call it mayonnaise.
This could be entirely inaccurate and/or made-up, but it's possibly true. Here's what some
AI assistants said when I asked:
