The Right Amount of Mayo

Ready for some truth? Some knowledge?

We like mayo. more than we'd like to admit. It's the most direct way of adding creaminess and richness to food short of straight up butter. Basically mayo adds fat which is why mayo adds tastiness.

But the thing with mayo is when we make ourselves sandwiches we never use enough to really make the sandwich as good as we can. At least taste-wise. I think there's a latent desire to eat healthy, perhaps subconsciously understanding that this is bad for you, maybe because it's so instinctively good for you. You might even put more than you think you should but it still won't be as much as the restaurant or the deli.

The truth is the real amount of mayo they put is a pretty horrific amount, more than you think you could ever want. But when you eat it, despite it being so rich and creamy as to be a little gross, you love it. It's better than you could have done cause you'd never let yourself have that much mayo.

The right amount of mayo is just a bit more than what you want.
