+1 my wife always says that I tell them no mayo on my burgers just to be different. no, I just don't want a big slather of puslike substance on my burger.
Mayo is OK, but they usually put way too much on. It should be scraped lightly on the bun, not globbed on with a pneumatic mayo gun. On the whole, I prefer mustard and I'm surprised that at most places you have to ask for it.
I'm a mustard guy too. In our fridge, we have 7 or 8 different mustards. It's amazing the different flavors you can get. In things that somewhat require mayo, ie tunafish salad, I use ranch dressing. Much lighter and gives it a bit of zing.
In Texas, a person typically has to ask for mayo on a burger, but most of them would come with mustard. I don't like one or the other by itself on a burger, but I don't mind both of them together on one. Still, big globs of mayo are pretty gross. As for my lunch, a peanut butter sandwich on wheat, an orange, and a bottle of water.
I always tell them to put an extra helping of the white puslike substance on my burger along with moderate amounts of the yellow stuff and the red stuff KyleK, you post reminded me of something that happened when I was in elementary school (a long, long time ago) After debating with myself over whether to share this story here I decided that, what the hell, this is an internet forum. Some of you will be grossed out by it but some of you might be amused. A group of us were sitting at a table at lunch in the school cafeteria. One of our classmates posed the question "How do you play pimple?" When none of us responded he put a big gob of mayo in his mouth and then squeezed his cheeks as if he were popping a pimple. I won't be back in a minute ---- with the rest of the story
