Sounded awful I thought.<BR/>I love the way that words change over time, but in the case of this use of the word 'mayonnaise' I think it is an example of gross misunderstanding and misuse, not evolution of the language! Isnt it? Or is it the same process as the old use of the word "mango" to describe a pickle?The Old Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766403052971301718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-4828325899160952212009-01-12T04:49:00.000+10:002009-01-12T04:49:00.000+10:00It's amazing how the usage of words changes over t...It's amazing how the usage of words changes over time, isn't it?Scott at Real Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935102352822407092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-85878458911802190852009-01-10T20:45:00.000+10:002009-01-10T20:45:00.000+10:00I am sure a lot of foodies would sneer at the idea...I am sure a lot of foodies would sneer at the idea of using bouillon cubes to make chicken broth for a recipe, but I do it. It always tastes fine to me. They are easy to store and very inexpensive. That does seem like an odd use of the word mayonnaise.Rochelle R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03703814746781987513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24170237.post-89085348792467266502009-01-10T11:30:00.000+10:002009-01-10T11:30:00.000+10:00I hadn't thought of this in many years but my Aunt...I hadn't thought of this in many years but my Aunt Ginny, (the local Queen of bridge parties), used to make a "banana salad".

(I'm not a fan of cauliflower) I've never seen mayonnaise used as a flour-thickened sauce, but I know that I ran across a recipe once for mayonnaise that included flour. <BR/><BR/>Which reminds me, my mother used to make what she called, "banana salad". It was an old recipe she said. You slice bananas in half long-wise, smear them with mayonnaise thinned very slightly with milk, then sprinkle on chopped black walnuts. I'm not sure where the salad part comes in, unless it's the mayonnaise.SometimesKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13492637553806860585noreply@blogger.com
