Potato salad, coleslaw, macaroni salad

Anonymous
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.

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.
