a mayonnaise substitute?

[Markintosh]

Nothing bad about mustard. It is just that if I don't use mustard, I focus on using better bread, adding veggies, etc....so instead of cutting out something bad, it encourages to add something good.

I hear you Markintosh, but I'm a mustard devotee, so it is hard for me to imagine going cold turkey (now, that's a real debate - mustard or mayo?) on the whole condiment thing.

Truth is, I don't often use mayo, but I do mix it in with tuna and on occasion, I make chicken salad with leftovers, etc.

Mayo, and butter in Europe, is sometimes essential in a sandwich. It keeps the wet things such as tomato and roasted peppers from making the bread soggy.

ah, I use carefully dried pieces of lettuce for that.

I never got accustomed to the butter on sandwiches tradition, but I have to say that it added a "richness" to some things.

Hellman's/Best (west of the Rockies) is the ONLY mayonnaise. every other brand sucks. and don't even get me started about Miracle Whip...

I agree 100%.

Hellman's or Cain's for mayo for me, nothing else. Though Cain's is only available in the Northeast states from what I see.
