Most expensive thing (for consumption) you've spent money on?

^u^

This scares the hell out of me. I wonder what other horrifying details of giving birth I am yet to learn…

But honestly, is your wife’s stomach really that bad that she has to go under a knife? I understand it’s her idea and you didn’t push her, but I would expect my husband to dicourage me from an unnecessary surgery. Not trying to be snarky just curious…

Ukrainian but not Russian. Way too many cultural issues. It pretty much ended when I was served a salad with chopped up pickles and mayo as the dressing. I wouldn’t even try it and she got pissed.

Pickles with mayo is a gross combination in both Russia and Ukrain. So it could’ve been that she simply wanted to get rid of you that way and dress it up as if it was your own decision.

I loved a Russian girl once. Or maybe she was Brazilian, or Chinese, or something weird. I met her in the bathroom of a K-Mart and we made out for hours. Then we parted ways, never to see each other again.

I ate some of this for lunch today. I think they call it “tartar sauce”. Goes real good with fried catfish. (Further proof that I’m not a Yid, 1BSM.)

Olivie is completely different as it has many other ingredients, and often sour cream is used instead of mayo.

Plain combination of mayo and pickles is not tasty.

I love tartar sauce.

Then again, Japanese love their mayo! :slight_smile:

“Today’s popular version of “Salade Olivier” — containing boiled potatoes, dill pickles , peas, eggs, carrots, and boiled beef/chicken or bologna, dressed with mayonnaise — is a version of Ivanov’s Stolichny salad, and only faintly resembles Olivier’s original creation. This version was a staple of any Soviet holiday dinner, especially of a New Year dinner (to the extent that its presence was considered on a par with Soviet Champagne or tangerines), due to availability of components in winter. Even though more exotic foods are widely available in Russia now, its popularity has hardly diminished: this salad was and maybe still is the most traditional dish for the home New Year celebration for Russian people

Almost to an obsession. It’s very odd.

It’s not too odd, Japanese mayo tastes good!

i like ebi mayo, like shrimp sushi with some mayo on top and then use the fire torch to burn it a little… YUM!!!

i was too lazy to lay the smackdown, thnx

See my response above. You presented it as if it was pickes and mayo ONLY.

But whatever… Haters will hate.

They have some good stuff, like those Salmon Blinis with creme fraiche, that stuff is to die for.

I’ve only been to Valdosta and Savannah. Had a real good burger in Valdosta.

That’s pretty interesting. Japanese food is huge in Brazil and some places like to throw mayo on sushi. A lot of so-called purists hate on that because “japanese people would never eat sushi with mayo”. I may have some fun next time I meet one of those.

Some places do place the mayo inside the sushi roll though. Could you clarify if that’s done in Japan as well?

Traditional sushi houses do not use mayo, that’s for sure. they only serve mostly nigiri (fish on rice ball) and MAYBE some maki (rolls), they do not have tempura or other things, tempura is usually another specialty store, or at soba noodle places.

However, there are many non-traditional sushi places in bigger cities where they have to do a lot of fusion or limited edition sushi to attract customers.

Kinda like Hawaiians and Spam?

Respect.

Here when I go to a Japanese joint they give you spicy mayo on the side. Its pretty much da bomb; especially with my vegetable roll.
