Never tried Kewpie... Been using Best Foods mayo since I was a kid.

Go to the Mitsuwa Marketplace in the South Bay...the one on Carson Blvd. They have it...I think that's the biggest Japanese market in all of Southern California. I love going there but I don't very often because it's far from home.

i only use a little bit of mayo in my sandwhich i make, but my brother throws in way to much i think. I really dun care if the sushi i eat has mayo or not, cuz i jus dip it in soy sauce n wasabi :hehe:

Yeah, I go there a lot for my ramen, gyoza, o-cha, etc.... I usually browse through the mags at Asahiya while I'm there... :)

My mom has always used Best Foods too. I bought Kewpie on a whim when I was working at Marukai one day. Can't go back to Best Foods now (when I have to use Mayo, that is).

Is it good in other foods as well? I've never tried it in egg salad or potato salad. :crazy:

kewpie IS mayo....i don't use much of it but it i think it is definitely better than any American brand

Mayo isn't that bad: it's just a combination of egg yolks, vegetable oil, and lemon juice and/or vinegar...

Granted, the egg yolks have some cholesterol, but you're only applying a relatively small amount on a sandwich... The meat in the sandwich is probably less healthy than the mayo, ne?

Agreed, if you are trippin' on the fat content...there are many more notorious food items that ppl eat in larger quanties that are worse than mayo.

Right on.

It always cracks me up to see people load up on pizza/burgers/fries/etc. and then get a diet soda.... Yeah, that'll help you a whole lot. :rolleyes:

Uh...the teddy bear I sleep with at night, yeah, that's it. :mrgreen: Seriously though, a double gassing is much worse than just gassing yourself after eating all those beans.
