Those aren’t true mayonnaise because they got that way via convergent evolution. True mayonnaise come from the mayonnaise region of France, otherwise it’s just bubbling emulsion.

The best parents are often the quirkiest. I’d say your dad’s actions have been a bit more concerning than quirky. But that’s not your load to carry.
You are his daughter and your concern should be your relationship with him. And it sounds like he’s a truly fantastic parent. You do not owe anyone else anything other than the best you that you can be, and it seems like your parents have helped make a very good you.
If anyone else wants to make the sins of the father be piled onto the daughter, you should do all you can to avoid that person. It sounds like your father’s character has given you a unique perspective from which you can draw better choices. And that is your positive takeaway and gift to give to anyone else who crossed his path.
In summary, your dad has made his own choices and everyone else can hold him accountable to that. So, just be a fantastic daughter and a wonderful person, and use that to contribute positively to your community. Don’t get bogged down by what your father has done—if anything, you can help lift people affected by your father, but only if it brings you joy.

Hello. There’s a non-zero chance that I’m one of your children. How will you interact with me?

I appreciate and understand your perspective, but I want to clarify some context:
This was my dad’s mom, so my grandparents. Had they been my parents and I’d known them at the age at which they raised me, then I’d immediately know how they raised their kids. But since this was my grandmother who raised my dad, it left me wondering what kind of parents my dad had. Was my dad a non-judgmental person in spite of his parents?
And the answer was, “no.” He learned to cast aside prejudices from my grandmother’s sick right-cross. It was mostly that kind of revelation that I needed to feel my catharsis.
(Added context: my dad is dead and I never heard that story from him. He died before my grandmother did, so I never got the opportunity to ask him about what her views on race were when he was a child.)

My grandparents on my dad’s side used to make jokes that were funny when I was a kid, more concerning when I got older, and especially concerning as their dementia set in and they began outright stating people’s races in the jokes. In the years since their passing, it’s made me wonder what their beliefs on racism were, even though they raised me to never judge anyone by their race and that race will usually be a factor in how people are treated in the real world but should never be a factor in my personal interactions with anyone.
But those jokes had been weighing kinda heavy on me in recent years. I know they had dementia, but was this possibly at the core of their beliefs?
I recently heard a story, unprompted, from a family member who was present when my dad was in high school or college, in the '70s, and made an off-color joke . Apparently my dad said that a car with a poorly done paint job “looked like a Mexican car.” Without missing a beat, my grandmother punched my dad in the jaw with a right hook and yelled, “WE DO NOT MAKE DEROGATORY JOKES ABOUT PEOPLE FOR THEIR RACE!” My grandmother was always known for how passive, playful, and gentle she was, especially with her kids.
Turns out grandma was not only adamant about race sensitivity, she was kinda a badass. And the jokes I thought were possibly racist were truly homophone humor about regional dialects and not about people’s nationality.

It starts with sanitation issues, so no recipe book can safely recommend it. But let’s say your name is Fartographer and you really wanna try this with dishes in your parents’ dishwasher in high school; you’ll discover the following four issues:
A) Dishwasher detergent is really gritty as to scrub the dishes with jets of water. This makes the water erode thin materials like foil really quickly and easily.
B) After the initial rinse, dishwashers fill the bottom of the unit with water and then recycle that water. Any chunks of food or other materials eventually get cycled and shot out through the jets, which can further rip your foil.
C) Once your dirty dish soap water breaches the foil, your fish tastes like soap and is peppered with old washed-off food, and the cooked parts of the fish are shredded.
D) Because of everything listed above, foil pieces and fish chunks will join your dishwater and be cycled through your dishwasher. Most dishwashers aren’t built to handle large chunks and pieces of metal, so this will likely clog the sprayer arms and then the drain and you’ll have to spend days disassembling and cleaning your parents’ dishwasher.Of course, all of the above can be avoided if you use thicker foil and more of it, but then your fish doesn’t cook all the way through. So, best if you don’t run your dishwasher salmon with your dishes, better if you don’t cook your salmon in the dishwasher.

It is, it works, it’s stupid because you can’t do your dishes at the same time so it’s all a huge waste. It’s essentially the most redneck en papillote ever.
