My son always hated it. So I would eat peanut butter and mayo sandwiches just to gross him out. Mighty tasty, though.
Mayo’s good on some stuff, like tuna salad, but on fries? That’s disgusting. And if we want to talk about horrible, sickening, overpowering, utter crap, then don’t get me started on sour cream in general. Udgh.
That said, my sister is a ranch dressing fiend - she puts it on everything. It near to makes me sick watching her do it. She puts it on meat, on vegetables, on stuff that ALREADY HAS A SAUCE. But she loves it. When she comes over for Thanksgiving, I plan to have some available for her to do whatever she wants with. I can’t see why people should be hassled for personal taste, which is - in the end - pretty durned inexplicable.
I think Chefguy nailed it.
So…potato salad is off your plate as well?
Mr. Sleeve & I JUST had this discussion the other day. We were having (veggie) brauts (don’t say it!!), and he puts sauerkraut and mustard on mine. I say “I’m going to put a little ketchup on it.” and he thought I was crazy. But I had ketchup on it, and it was gooood!!
The purpose of ketchup is to disguise the flavour of foods you don’t like. If you put ketchup on bratwurst, it means that you don’t like bratwurst.
Manduck has spoken!
I put ketchup on brats. And on burgers, dogs, fries, onion rings, tater tots, and hashbrowns.
I put mustard on three of the above; Western dressing (the kind with the horns) on four of the above; Miracle Whip and thousand island dressing on one of the above; mayo (which tastes almost exactly like a cross between egg whites and male ejaculation) on none of the above; and have never understood the affinity some have for rotted cabbage (in any form).
But I’ll eat aioli on alotta stuff.
While I may be a terrible monster from beyond, even I would hesitate to employ mayo as a torture device. Besides, it’s vile flavor would contaminate the human it is used on, making useless as yum-yums.
As for aioli, it is still an abomination, as it is mayo-based, but the garlic would help reduce the vileness levels. Slightly.
Ew. Now by algebraically manipulating your equation, I know what male ejaculation tastes like.
Are you people talking about the crap Mayo you buy at the store? Shame! There’s nothing wrong with REAL mayo, which you make at home in about three minutes. Anyway, all you food nazis can kiss my ass. I’ll eat ketchup, mayo, toxic waste or dog snot with whatever I choose.
Big eyeroll for people who can’t IMAGINE anyone who would choose any other way than theirs.

I can understand the use of ketchup on veggie brauts.
Yup. Sampled some at the grocery. Almost barfed.
You may hate it, but the average German puts ketchup on his bratwurst and mayo on his fries… 100% fact.
You should try Bavarian veal sausage with sweet mustard!
Are you boiling the brats in beer first? Boiled in beer, then grilled, is practically WI religion. (along with a darker bun with poppy seeds, kraut, and a good brown mustard).
Yes, I do think the ketchup is an abomination, but I also think we’re allowed to eat whatever abominations we like. However, I am not asking Palweriter [“I’ll eat ketchup, mayo, toxic waste or dog snot with whatever I choose.”] to fix me a sandwich anytime soon…
This is the only way to eat Bratwurst… darn it now I want some! Good thing I hit the grocery store next…
What do I do if the food I don’t like happens to be ketchup?
Hmm, a quandary. I guess you would need a super-condiment; some kind of nuclear chutney, perhaps.
Bavarian wurst - now that’s good. Germany has screwed a lot of things up, but they KNOW how to make brats and beer. They don’t boil them in beer, they drink beer with them though. Simmering for a few with boiled onions and vinegar and served with good dark bread and scharf senf and wash it all down with Lichtenauer Hefe Weissen. There is no finer repast.
I must have German mustard and sauerkraut on my brat. Nothing else will do.
