In response to a recent post pertaining to calling mayonnaise "sucky street food".



I urge you to come visit the fine establishment known as the "Trappist Café". And then reach a conclusion on the matter. That is all, long may King Mayo reign.

[This art is so cute!! So this is what Belgian mayonnaise looks like, huh? It comes in a jar rather than a bottle? And there doesn't seem to be a cute mascot like Mayorin... but still, he feels super validated right now!!]

Good to see that there are some reasonable people left on this island! Long may King Mayo reign!

I confess I had never realised that a table sauce could be such a divisive matter...!

[Ah-! It's the mayo-maniac! Unfortunately, no there is no cute mascot, only a jar of delicious, world-saving, mayo.]

It's only natural to recognize the greatest sauce in all of existence. Anyone who says otherwise is simply lying to themselves. You must be quite the mayonnaise devotee!

[thus began the great mayo war. who will survive, and what will become of them????]

mayonnaise is serious business, anon. this is no kidding matter when the King of Sauce's name is being slandered.

[SHE'S SO DANG AMUSED BY THIS MATTER! It falls perfectly into her sense of humor.]

Neither did I.

[Ah, no, hang on.

anon is typing]

of course it is! but i suppose no one can blame you. its not something many think of regularly. yet it is still an incredibly important issue of grave importance. far too many tongues have suffered as a result of subpar sauce.

[Yesss, more validation!! Damn right, those nay-sayers are just lying to themselves!]

I am! Anyone with working tastebuds should be!

[inaurare]

Indeed?

[it's harder to convey his amusement through the word then it would be if he were speaking it aloud]

But then also I understand well that taste is important, and that people can be quite particular when it comes to their food. I wonder if there are other sauces with similar followings...?

What is that flag, exactly, and why does it have anything to do with mayonnaise?

[This whole controversy over mayonnaise has been... equal parts bewildering and amusing. But Walter is going to intercede here, because there is a definite possibility that a fellow he is passingly familiar with might have just asked a national spirit what her flag was.]

It is the flag of the nation of Belgium, Mister Ashengrotto.

[Bless you Walter. Azul does not get Earth, okay?]

Oh. Well, that answers the first question but not the second.

[angel_of_death]

That may best be answered by the owner of the Trappist Café herself. I am not Belgian, so I have little authority to provide extensive commentary on Belgian cuisine.

[VALIDATES HIM SUPER HARD! Defend the honor of mayo!]

Exactly, mayo is one of the most versatile, and varied sauces out there! To sully its name is a crime!

[resistetmords]

hmmm mayo is rather distinct in form and flavor. but tomato sauce is often a popular one. same with various hot sauces.

people like things that give their foods an added kick

someone already answered this but belgian mayo is varied in its flavor and texture. its quite delicious and refined to the point where its considered a world, cultural, heritage worth protecting.

[dottedline]

I see. Do you happen to have any?

[mayoninofukucho]

Damn right!! Do you want to form an alliance of mayonnaise appreciators?

[Making big moves based on an anonymous online post, isn't he... but this is a man whose knight emblem is a triple tomoe of Japanese mayonnaise bottle caps swirling in a circle and whole shield is shaped like the matching mayonnaise bottle.]

[inaurare]

The housekeepers I grew up with said that mayonnaise is one of the parent sauces in cooking - is that the case elsewhere? So it must be so. And it has its derivatives that may be served hot as well.

[there is a slight pause, then a sheepish addition]

Forgive me. You meant hot in terms of spice, not temperature.
