Mayonnaise

36 replies

MrsCipo · 10/09/2018 16:25

I am putting together an online shop & asked DP if there was anything he can think of that we need. He said mayonnaise.

We have three lots of open mayonnaise in the fridge (2 x squeezy, 1 x jar [almost empty]) and one unopened in the cupboard (squeezy)

I said he can't have any more mayonnaise till we are down to at least 2 Grin

He said he prefers mayonnaise in a jar, therefore we need more

If we get more mayonnaise, he will open it BEFORE THE OTHERS ARE EMPTY and I may be pushed over the edge.

Who is BU? Grin

Squeeze the squeezies into the jar?

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 10/09/2018 16:26

I’m with your DH. Squeezy mayo is annoying. You’ve also reminded me I’m out of jarred mayo.

IsTheRainEverComingBack · 10/09/2018 16:27

The jar mayo is a different consistency and tastes better.

NoProbLlama78 · 10/09/2018 16:27

He is. Squeeze the squeezy into the almost empty jar

safariboot · 10/09/2018 16:30

I say tough luck to DH. Squeezy mayo is what you have at the moment and he can get a jar once that's used up.

Holidayfromreal · 10/09/2018 16:32

You are both unreasonable. Mayonnaise is horrible and it should all go in the bin to save you from having to endure it's slimy blandness.

femidom12 · 10/09/2018 16:34

Mayo is great, order more mayo so you can have mayo on EVERYTHING.

MsHomeSlice · 10/09/2018 16:38

absolutely put the squeezy into the jar, he will not know.

give the jar and lid a nice hot wash, watch the label doesn't come off and squeeeeeeze those squeezy bottles.

My DH bought me Heinz instead of Hellmanns once. I wasn’t very impressed.

Another vote for putting the squeezy in jar. 😊

PlainVanilla · 10/09/2018 16:43

Why are you buying something that costs pennies to make yourself?

shoofly · 10/09/2018 16:43

Use up the squeezy, then don't ever buy it again. Jars are far easier to get the stuff out of

AdaColeman · 10/09/2018 16:45

I agree with your DH, mayonnaise from a jar is nicer than from a squeezy bottle. And as mayonnaise is one of life's essentials, you may as well have the type you like.

BumDisease · 10/09/2018 16:46

"Why are you buying something that costs pennies to make yourself?"

There's always one...

MrsMotherHen · 10/09/2018 16:47

yea squeezy mayo is shite.

SmellMyBeads · 10/09/2018 16:48

@Bum Grin My thoughts exactly.

Storm4star · 10/09/2018 16:48

Not the point of the thread but why does every single pre packaged sandwich have to include mayo? We don't all like it!

Toofle · 10/09/2018 16:53

PlainVanilla, because she prefers the taste?

MrsCipo · 10/09/2018 17:01

I assumed this was meant in jest in the spirit of the faux-cats-bum-mouthness of the thread

Squeezing the mayo into the jar sounds like much more trouble than just refusing to buy any more Grin

Ordinarily he could have whatever version of mayo he wanted, but with three opened already I am putting my foot down

I'm quite enjoying his outragedness at not being allowed jarred mayo Grin

I've started buying jars instead of squeezey bottles as easier to recycle. Ask him what he wants more - not to waste money and use them up, transfer to the jar, pay for the shopping

Lalliella · 10/09/2018 17:08

We once had 4 jars of mayo in the cupboard because DH likes to buy in bulk when things are on offer. Gives me the rage. Your DP IBVVVU.

FreerOfIcefyre · 10/09/2018 17:11

We have 2 opened jars, Hellmans and Heinz. Squeezy bottles are too annoying to get the last bit out. I have a handy jar scraper from Lakeland Wink

Ds1 and I like homemade mayo Grin

I say get him the jar.

Benjaminbuttonschild · 10/09/2018 21:51

I love mayonnaise. I also love the word 'jar'.

Jar Jar Jar Jar Jar!!

Sorry, not helpful, I know.

Lilymoose · 10/09/2018 22:11

I wish I could have mayo in a jar but certain people leave crumbs/tuna/bits in it 😫

LosingLola · 10/09/2018 22:48

Jar mayonnaise is nicer. The recipe is different for squeezy

BrassicaBabe · 10/09/2018 23:02

Prefer Diet Coke in a can to a plastic bottle. Wonder if this is the same thing.....Hmm
