You're at a picnic and there's standard supermarket deli counter style mayo-based macaroni salad, coleslaw, and potato salad. This isn't your grandmother's recipe or from a homestyle restaurant. YOU MUST PICK ONE. Which one do you choose?
I realize that these were very present in my life in the 80s and I rarely come across them now. If I had to pick, I would pick potato salad, but I would probably pass on it altogether. (Please don't call them trashy or unhealthy...that's not the question here) |
Oh h*ll no to all of them, especially if it’s some Costco trash in a plastic tub.
I’d eat coleslaw if it was freshly homemade and not from bagged-pre shredded cabbage and bottled dressing. I’d eat potato salad if it was the German kind where it is dressed with a vinegar dressing and not mayo. I would never eat a macaroni salad |
I’d go hungry- I’ve never eaten any of those. And as an adult I know foods like that sitting outside for hours are a great way to get sick. |
I'd rather starve. Mayo based salads are nasty. |
Not surprising that the first 3 posters did exactly what OP asked not to do and extolled their disgust over Mayo.
In the context of the post, I would choose the cole slaw. Store bought potato and macaroni salad fare worse than basic cole slaw from the grocery stores. |
Most people these days do not like mayo. If you had a choice of eating mud, a slug or bird poop - which would you choose? Probably none because the thought disgusts you. There is no such thing as YOU MUST choose one. We aren't 5 playing would you rather. |
I’d put coleslaw on a sandwich without hesitation but I’d never just put it in my plate.
I’d go for potato salad next and pray it’s from Costco. I’d put a little bbq sauce and hot sauce on it. Like a tsp yum. |
Coleslaw from those options. Potato salad second, macaroni salad never. |
No, none of the above. Revolting. Probably full of salmonella too. |
Coleslaw, it's most like a salad. Never eat the other ones. |
That's hardly true, that most people don't like mayo. It's hidden in a lot of things people eat all the time. Dips, spreads, crab cakes, etc. |
potato |
I'd pick potato salad because I don't mind a mayo-based potato salad (coleslaw or pasta salad I only like vinegar-based). Maybe I just like potatoes in any format? |
I don't eat mayo. If I did, at a party I would pick coleslaw and just put a little on my burger. I'm not a snob, I make potato salad and pasta salad with vegan mayo at home all the time. |
Potato salad all day long. |
