Light
mayonnaise. Or as I like to call it ‘unmayonnaise.’ Never before have I tasted
a light/diet version of something that was so entirely dissimilar to the
original that it seems farcical to use the same name.
Nothing about
light mayo makes me want to eat it. It has that gloopy, too-white appearance
that tells me that no eggs, olive oil, mustard or any proper mayo ingredients
have gone into it, and the texture is just bizarre. The way it clings to a
knife is just plain wrong.
Why do we have
this obsession about making diet products that are so strange in taste and
appearance that they are barely edible? And who are the people that tolerate
them? When diet alcohol came out I laughed. When I first tried light mayo I
spat. Diet coke makes me grimace.
However you look at it, the end result is the same. Light mayo is just not
mayonnaise… and that’s a fact.
