Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
Has anyone tried grape-seed mayo ? It only comes refrigerated, but it is also very good. Like homemade.

"Has decided 'likes to clean' counts as a personality." Yes. So much yes.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I prefer the taste and texture of Duke's, though i rate Hellman's a close 2nd. Of course, I was raised in a Miracle Whip family, so you should perhaps take my opinion in the matter with a grain of salt (and perhaps a grind of pepper, squeeze of lemon, and a healthy dash of hot sauce too!)
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
As a Memphian who saw a show supposedly about us (MEMPHIS BEAT) shot in NEW ORLEANS because we wouldn't come up with the $$$ to subsidize production, I can only smile and shake my head. Let's put it another way: is the city's ego fragile enough to want to give the producers this cash? Fortunately, Memphis's ego, never known for its' stability, was not so fragile that they said yes, and the show died of its own accord, as it should have.
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Is it extortion when we ask them to do it?
I do want to know what the overall economic impact has been. I did see lots of increased activity downtown on shoot days, so know that caterers and other various craftspeople were making some money, but beyond that, I am curious.

The stoned Scarlett theory makes complete sense.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I'm both a mustard person and a mayo person, though you wouldn't know it from looking in my refrigerator. I have 4 types of mustard and even pickled mustard seeds and just one lonely, rather old container of mayo. I really only use it in pimento cheese and egg salad (which also gets a solid mustard treatment). If I had to choose only one, it'd be mustard. Though I'd miss the mayo for my fries.

Steve Buchanan from Gaylord lives here and is a Producer. Why isn't he quoted in this article?
Re: “Will Nashville Hit the Road?”
Have we gotten back all the welfare we gave them? You know, the supposed extra economic activity etc?
Should we feel sorry for this rich corporation which is trying to legally extort us?

If they stop filming in Nashville, I stop watching.
Re: “Racist Who Attended Racist Conference in Tennessee Still Being Racist Back at School”
Actually, bobs, my happiness is not influenced at all by you. My unhappiness, either, come to think of it.
In other words, my life rolls merrily along, and will continue to do so, regardless of you. I don't hate you; I'm merely indifferent to you.
Re: “Racist Who Attended Racist Conference in Tennessee Still Being Racist Back at School”
@Anglrdr: Evidently you're not happy unless I treat you like a white idiot.
@Jimbo: What you're saying is that white people should leave black predators alone.
@Both of you: Here's a link from The Root I've posted before showing relative racism world wide. Notice that America is less racist than all the countries of Africa, Asia, and most of Europe. All those people in all those African countries don't want neighbors of a different race...hmmm. Maybe that's why their cousins in America tend to group together - it's an ingrained racial thing.

Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
Tex - when i make a sandwich, i like put a schmear of Gulden's atop my mayo - on both sides of the bread. if pressed to choose between condiments, i think i'd choose mustard. and i don't have a favorite: dijon, spicy, yellow, grainy, gimme all the mustards.
however, this is mayogate, and i'm partial to Duke's for the aforementioned reasons.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
If you're intent on being a mayonnaise snob, you really should make your own, but if you want to be a lazy mayonnaise snob you can probably justify using anything you like, up to and including Miracle Whip. Of course, if unsweetened mayonnaise tastes weird to you you can always sprinkle some sugar on your tomato sandwiches to compensate.
That said, the only mayonnaise they sell at Costco in less than a vat size is Duke's, which happens to be a perfectly servicable mayonnaise--especially for pimiento cheese.
Re: “Tennessee Tries to Bully Berry College”
Ah, the good old college days of yore, where I learned to ignore the light that illuminated my inner sanctum. I must admit that my brain frazzled when confronted with the ad hominem methods of circumspection that my professors often employed. I can't blame them though, for they were taught at a young age to bury their innate humanity, their very being, under the surreal skies of academic morbidity. My mind was so unpacked after classes, that the feral hedgehogs of the underworld would come out of their subterranean hiding places to mock my existence. Those are evil beings though, and I would ignore their taunts until, defeated, they would slither back into their holes of darkness! So do not back down, Berry College. Hold to your principles on this billboard and give these clueless government bureaucrats the proverbial finger! You will be happy that you did when you are sitting in That Happy Place, sipping cognac with the Bohemian power-brokers and laughing at the obtuseness of the rest of the human race.
Re: “Racist Who Attended Racist Conference in Tennessee Still Being Racist Back at School”
Watching Bobs attempt mental jujitsu is entertaining.
Please, keep on; you're hilarious! And also so not a racist! (Guess which of those statements are sarcastic.)
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
When I first made mayonnaise, I didn't like it because it did not taste like Hellman's. ( The recipe did not call for any sweetener.) I thought I was doing something wrong. Then I tasted Duke's. It tasted homemade.I use both now. Duke's for sandwiches and I have to use Hellman's for potato salad and layered salad.
Nicki. Try adding a couple of drops of ballpark mustard to the Hellman's Light in addition to the lemon. Also, if you gently heat it, it makes a pretty good low-fat Hollandaise.
Re: “Nashville Recap: ‘I’ll Never Get Out of This World Alive’”
yeah I'm glad there is a season two only so I can read your recaps.
