A Question about Mayonaise

I'm trying to figure something out I thought this would be a good place to post it since Bruce Willis has that whole reaction to mayonaise on burgers.
Wasn't it also Perry who disliked mayonnaise, and who just within first 1o minutes of film told waitress not to put mayonnaise on his burger while he was having lunch with Amanda Peet?
And yes, I like mayonnaise, both
Tommy
(which is classic, lighter, good basis for remoulades) and
Liebig
(with its darker tone and taste that can reject an ordinary mayonnaise-lover).
Bruce declarede himself against mayonnaise on burgers and voted for ketchup.
It actually reminded me on the beginning of
Sudden Impact
(Dirty Harry sequel) when Clint Eastwood on the crime scene ask his colleague who is choking with hot dog with ketchup - "Why on earth can yoo eat ketchup on hot dogs?" (something like that). Normally, one of course eats mustard with hot dog.
I found it! Here:
Harry Callahan
:
Nobody, but nobody, puts ketchup on a hot dog anymore!

Every red-blooded American knows that the only condiment that you are ever supposed to put on a hamburger is KETCHUP! Or MAYBE some of that SPECIAL SAUCE you like so much here in Canada; which I think has a little bit of mayonnaise in it too! But I swear to God when they start slapping that mayonnaise on there I could kill somebody.

:::::::::I'm gonna keep the coke and the fries but I'm gonna send this burger back. And if you put any mayonnaise on it, I'm gonna come over to your house, I'll chop your legs off, set fire to your house, and watch as you drag your bloody stumps out the door.

(5) Mayonaise is probably the worst thing in the world to eat, ever. When I eat out I always ask if they have mayonaise on the food or in the dressing, 'cause even if there's just a a little mayonaise in it it'll make me sick.. Oh, and I'm European.
Sometimes meaningless gestures are all we have. -

(1) I LOVE IT!!!! I put it on my burgers, I use extra in my tuna fish, I mix it with ketchup and dip my french fries in it, and I mix it with barbeque sauce and dip my chicken nuggets in it. My husband got me started on putting it on my grilled cheese sandwich too. Just put it between the bread, add the cheese and grill. I'm American and I honestly had no idea that mayonaise was such a big condiment in Europe but hey, sounds like my kind of a place.

(2). There was a time when I would only eat hamburgers with mayonnaise. It's not the healthiest thing in the world, but it was good.
Nowadays I don't bother as much. But what's neat in the movie is how it creates a discussion like this, highlighting a cultural difference between Canada and the US. -

5 to the max. Mayonnaise is disgusting and offensive to all five of my senses (well, maybe not sound). they actually put mayo on burgers where I live in Virginia. I didn't know mayo wasn't supposed to be put on burgers, I just didn't like it.

An easy 5 - hate the stuff.
After seeing the film last night (quite enjoyed it, by the way), it reminded me of a similar incident I had a few weeks back at a late night burger bar where I got into an arguement with the guy serving me whom I had to ask three times to give me a burger WITHOUT mayo like I'd originally asked. Eventually he hurled the mayo covered burger on the floor in anger and hastily slapped together a non-mayo one (by which time my chips were cold - natch).
Of course, if he'd just done like I asked the first time, instead of being such a tool, maybe he wouldn't have needed to get all stroppy. Mind you, if he weren't such a tool, maybe he'd be doing something else with his life besides working the graveyard shift at a one-chain back alley burger bar.
