Jaymes Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 My memory with mayonnaise is that you need to make a lot (a cup?) for the minimum amount and it only lasts for three or four days. I'd need a special occasion to go through that much mayonnaise. We used it more as toppings than as sandwich spreads. Toppings for various cold items - hard-boiled eggs, asparagus and other vegetables, sliced meats and cheeses with crackers or crostini, cold shrimp, smoked fish, various salads - congealed and otherwise - and that sort of thing. You can do it. Make more aspic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yvonne johnson Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The link is to Amazon. What stores carry it? Citarella, Jeff Mkt and I think I saw on the web somehwere Gristedes and WF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yvonne johnson Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Mayo is such an easy thing make at home - especially if you use a blender or food processor. Why not just make your own? We do make our own. If in a hurry, though, Delouis Fils is preferable to Helman's. It it does tatse like homemade majo on some things, e.g., sandwiches. This stuff is great for chicken salad. Haven't seen the new packaging yet. It's great for tuna salad too (we add chopped scallions to the mix). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rebecca Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Isn't there a particular technique using an immersion blender? You've distracted me from finding my recipes. Is an immersion blender the same as a stick blender? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Liza Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'd need a special occasion to go through that much mayonnaise. Oh I'm having fun thinking about that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maurice Naughton Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 And all going pretty much out-of-vogue now, especially friture, the French becoming more conscious of what all that fat does to their delicate livers and that wine is not, indeed, a reliable anodyne. Oh for heaven's sake. Fried fish can't possibly be bad for you. It's not like anyone eats more than a handful. This is how it starts, you know. You get rid of all the good "little sin" foods and next thing you know you are bingeing on a giant bag of fritos at 2am because everything you've eaten all day is so completetly tasteless and dull. I'm so ashamed. I know I missed the entire point of this thread. The moment I became aware of my blind inadequacy to get with the program, I posted again. I said, "Forget it." I beg you to forgive me. Every year of so I eat a can of Spam. And every couple of months I eat a box of Ritz crackers smeared with Win Schuler's Bacon Cheddar Bar Scheeze (a Michigan thing, that last). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gourmette Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 My personal "Fritos" would be: Zapp's Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt chips Cadbury's Fruit and Nut bars Hot & Spicy Peanuts (but I gave them up for Lent) Original Dr. Pepper (from Dublin, Texas) Smoked Oysters (yes, from a tin ) Only my family and really close friends know not to leave me alone with any of these things - not if they expect any Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liza Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Welcome, Gourmette! Cracked pepper and sea salt chips you say? Your views intrigue me. I feel a tasting coming on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gourmette Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Welcome, Gourmette! Cracked pepper and sea salt chips you say? Your views intrigue me. I feel a tasting coming on. Thanks for the welcome, Liza (love your kitty avatar). My two cat children tend to walk over my keyboard causing occasional weird posts The chips are my big downfall --- never can I "eat just one."

The Scream Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'd have a longer list of personal fritos, but the thing is I don't snack. If I do, it's a handful of nuts or a piece of bread and cheese. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gourmette Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Cadbury's Fruit and Nut barsA soul sister. Even my mother doesn't understand the F&N bars They are just so hard to find (where I live, anyway), so Walgreen's is my usual stock-up place. I did find them at a Dollar Tree recently and bought all they had. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
