A batch of mayonnaise has now been made, ready to go on my fish burger for dinner.
When I was a kid we used to make this horrible concoction based on condensed milk that we called mayonnaise, I am very grateful that is no longer a thing in my life. I don’t really like the standard purchased mayonnaise these days either. There was one brand of whole egg mayonnaise that I liked, but they changed from glass jars to plastic recently so I decided it is time to stop being lazy and start making my own. Last time I made it I pasturised the egg first, this time I decided to live on the edge and use it raw. If I die of salmonella poisoning in the next couple of weeks you will know where it came from.

Damfino why anyone actually buys mayonnaise. It’s so damn easy to make and soooo much nicer.

It’s one of those things that when you read about what is involved they make it sound really hard - lots of warnings about carefully adding oil drop by drop or you will ruin it, the recipes all seem to make it sound like a really labour intense effort with a high risk of failure. So a lot of people won’t even get to the point of trying to do it and finding out how easy it actually is.
I think if you are used to bought mayonnaise you are also expecting a different flavour profile, so when you make it what you get tastes “wrong” because it is not what you are expecting.
