Why does German mayonnaise suck?

It all tastes like Miracle Whip

I am a huge fan of Best Foods Real Mayo as well, and absolutely abhor Miracle whip- the best mayo I ever found in Germany was the stuff they sold at Aldi.
Me too! I smuggle it in from the states. You can get Helmanns at Wal Mart or Karstadt, though.. same thing.

German mayo really does suck. And what's with all these condiments in toothpaste tubes? Disgusting.

I don't know, it is kind of funny that people who largely come from countries (UK, US) that aren't really famous for their food and quality of food keeps thrashing German mayonnaise and German supermarkets.

To me that is just superfunny...

German mayo sucks because all mayo sucks. In my opinion.

And now, what does that tell you about German supermarkets?

Seriously guys, try the mayo from Aldi- it is actual Mayonnaise- tastes great on a sandwich, mixed with tuna (the best tuna salad btw is white tuna, mayo, and Spike seasoning), chicken salads, whatever.

Actually I would vote for the next thread to be "Why do all bottled German salad dressings suck?" as in french, 1000 island, joghurt *barf*

ok I get it, that even people not used to quality food will find them appalling...

I don't agree where I live in ffm I have no problem with the supermarket i frequent but I guess that is because I'm not such a demanding and refined customer as the mayo-people...

I'm Right up there with you kitty-kat - being from Utah, give me some decent FRY SAUCE and Ranch dressing for almost anything.. (neither of which exist in Germany!)

Speaking of which, is decent blue cheese dressing available anywhere?

Yes, I saw it at Kaufhof (US product) recently... Should be at Karstadt as well...

And Sweden is a stronghold of culinary excellence. Taking dried fish and reindeer to a whole new level...

You horrible little foreign European Unionist! Stop complaining about the food in your adopted new country. Britain isn't that far away ... There are usually British or Asian shops somewhere, where you can get whatever you want from Branston Pickle to Tetley Tea Bags. Stop whining! ;-))))))
When I go to England I'm not looking for a pub where I can get "Bratkartoffeln" ... me wants chips!

S'funny, I've had "American" mayonnaise and thought it was truly disgusting. Guess different people just like different things. Who'd have thunk it, eh?

How sad is my life that I just read 4 pages of posts about mayo? *sigh* Somebody get me a life, please!
