It's a great base for a sauce as well, mix it with some green pesto, put that on a burger (both on the top and bottom bun) and thank me later!

Thought I hated it all until fairly recently. Homemade mayo can be OK. Japanese Kewpi mayo is pretty good. Still, I rarely put it on anything by choice.
I generally don’t like it. If I get a sandwich made or something I’ll ask for no mayo. Most restaurant/chain mayo sucks. Heavy on the oil and other things that mess up a flavor I’m not keen on in the first place. There are some things that need it, like egg salad, and that’s fine. I don’t mind adulterated versions like chipotle mayo or sriracha mayo. However, if it’s a good mayo, it can really make a sandwich, especially if there are complementary ingredients like avocado.
A decent mayonnaise is quite simple in the making. Like 6 Ingredients: 2 egg yolks 250 ml vegetable oil 2 tsp lemon juice salt & pepper ½ tsp mustard
Perfect with chips or for meat. I think it is birthing wrong with it, just a bit tricky on the temperature.
But luckily tastes are different. So, if you don’t like it, just don’t make it.
Very specifically only on a burger that has crummed white meat like chicken schnitzel. Otherwise it ruins everything it touches.
The plant based kind is actually very good.
I use it for tuna or egg salad, but that's it. I wish I could find something that works just as good but I actually like.
There are several sandwich shops I just don't go to because they only use mayo and mayo is disgusting. But I do like other mayo based things like potato salad and deviled eggs.
Freshly made mayo is nice. I haven't tried the other products people are mentioning here.
