What do you recommend?

I was planning to use it to make tuna salad... Good idea? A waste? :headscratch:

Good idea! Try it. It'll taste better than if you used Best Foods.

Just asked my wife what other kind of cool snack you can make with Kewpie. Here is what she said.
Spread some Kewpie (a reasonable amount) on a slice of bread. Then add a slice of cheese on it. Then pop it into a toaster oven. Viola.

I am not a fan of mayo so I wouldn't really try this unless she forced me to it. If it were me, I'd only use the cheese.

Funny that you should mention a cooking show:

As we speak, I'm watching America's Test Kitchen on PBS and they're making stuffed pork chops... Yum.

And regarding the Dotch Cooking Show, there was an episode where they talked about where the best mayo could be found to use in takoyaki... :D

That's sort of a variation of a grilled cheese, I guess. Hmm.

Maybe I should drop by a deli and pick up something....... :rolleyes:

You're going to add meat or something to it?

Or is it just too humbug to make something at the moment?

Ah, maybe it's lawnmower day today so you're in a rush? :hehe:

Naw. A grilled cheese with mayo seems odd to me.

I think tuna salad is the way to go. I'll make it for dinner, I guess.

I did taste some of it right out of the squishy bottle... It tastes richer than the Best Foods... More egg yolks, I think, considering the yellowish color compared to the whiter Best Foods...

Guh, getting too analytical now. :banghead: :banghead:

Nope tomorrow. Plumbing today. :bleh:

Thanks. It's relatively easy if you have the right tools. :)

I still hate it though.

How'd you like the Kewpie? Richer, but better?

Hard to tell.

Gotta make that tuna salad, I guess... :sweat:

Well I made my tuna salad with the Kewpie mayo and it's not bad... :)

The Kewpie mayo definitely has more egg yolks in its mix, 'cause I do notice an "egginess" in the mayo which I'm unaccustomed to... The Best Foods mayo is a little more acidic and neutral in taste...

Gonna have to try on some other things....

I bought Kewpie once thinking it was the same mayo I once tried in Taiwan. I didn't like Kewpie at all. =x I'm still trying to find the one I ate in Taiwan. They use it on the fresh bamboo shoots. That one is soooo good >_<

I did notice that one of the ingredients in Kewpie is MSG. Bleah. :bleh:

Reminds me of those days when everyone used to use Aji-No-Moto...

Heard of MSG but Aji-No-Moto???? i have no idea wat dat b :sweat:

I guess I'm dating myself, but it's the name of a company that sold MSG just like regular table salt... Until the FDA banned it, because it was linked to exacerbating high blood pressure...

Not sure if the company is still around anymore... :headscratch:

It has MSG?? :crazy: Hmm, no wonder it has an addicting taste for me. Oh well, it can't be harmful if consumed in moderation, right? :sweat:

I haven't seen Aji-no-moto here lately. But it does exist in the Philippines for sure. I've seen the billboards whenever I visit. I assume their version of the FDA has been contacting the one here, huh?

They are still around. At Marukai and Daiei, they still carry the Ajinomoto product.

It ain't so bad, right? I hate Mayo but Kewpie is the only type of mayo that I'm willing to eat.

I had me a bowl of Bun Bo Hue over the weekend, its basicaly spicy beef noodle soup, not vermicelli, but a thicker kind of noodle. It was pretty good, but no restuarant has yet to make it better than my mom's homemade :mrgreen: :victory:
