This is how mayo makes me feel:
Last night at the Real Salt Lake game, my friend Tiff tried to convince me to eat an ear of corn that had been slathered in mayo then sprinkled with some mysterious red powder (Chili powder? Paprika? Strange Mexican cocaine?). I refused, even when she put it two inches away from my face. Instead, I chose a different Mexican treat--a churro.
I think my cooking idol, Paula Deen, would be really disappointed in me for hating mayo, but I've given it a fair chance. I taste it every couple years, and have never gotten over my aversion to it. Are there any foods you hate?

How do you feel about fry sauce? I know a few people who hate mayo, but are OK with fry sauce. That does not make sense.
Everyone dips their fries (frites) in mayo here...
I do not like fry sauce. I think that makes me a bad Utahan! I make up for it by eating lots of Jello (and Jello shots).
And dipping fries in mayo sounds like good way to ruin a delicious fry!
Since we're on the topic of deli sandwiches, I really hate mustard. All kids of mustard. And pickles. Anything that has been pickled seems unnatural and neaderthal-like.
I hate eggplants. I've tried to like them, even went to Italy to have real eggplant parmigiana, but no go. I don't eat offal either. I used to hate mayo, mostly because growing up my dad hated it and since he was so cool, I hated it too. But now I'll eat it occasionally in very light doses, though I refuse to use it in tuna salad (creamy dressing ftw!).
