Mayonnaise

Simple task: imagine all the foods that you eat with mayonnaise. Now, imagine those foods without mayonnaise. Still taste good huh. American food culture is weird.
If you go to a Deli in Europe and ask for Mayo on your sandwich, they'll look at you funny. They don't even carry it in their shops.

The reason I wrote this status was because I see people in the sandwich line at late night who ask for mayo as if it's the only response they can give in a culture that they were raised in to eat sandwiches with Mayo. Seriously though, at late night, there are 8 other different spreads that you can get that all have ten times the amount of taste as mayo, but people don't choose them. Why is that? It's weird because I found myself doing the same thing at the beginning of the year. Now I like to get the pesto spread, and it actually adds a new flavor to the sandwich.

I see people prepare their food as if it was some menu item on a breakfast restaurant joint. It's our culture that holds down creativity for preparing food, and instead insists on standardization and consistency for meals

Why do people get sprinkles on ice cream? Why do people put powdered sugar on their pancakes? They argue that it gives the food flavor, but they don't realize that 95% of the flavor comes from the main food anyways.
