Is putting mayonaise on a hamburger a lower class thing?

I mix ketchup and mayo, and it is so delicious that I do not care if OP thinks it’s low class. My lunch is awesome!

Only low class people ask these kind of questions and have weird hangups like this. High class people know they could get their burgers with peanut butter and anchovies and it's nothing more than a delightful, quirky affectation.

I personally like very good high fat ground beef on the grill, and then build it with a good melted cheese - maybe aged chedder, swiss, provolene, gouda - mayo at the bottom, then burger, add lettuce, a slice of summer tomato, sliced pickles, and mustard on the top bun. When its quality ingredients, that is a solid burger. So count me among among the lower class for my preferences.

Sweetheart, Julia Child has been dead over over 21 years! Her TV cooking in the 1960s, 70s and 80s is not in any way relevant to modern grocery stores, modern tastes, and modern cuisine.

But good food is good food. Go back to your little tiktok trendy things. We are discussing mayonnaise on hamburgers. As grownups do.

Burgers were peasant blue collar food when Julia was on TV. The burger fad and professional and home chefs perfecting them didn’t happen until the 90s and 00s. Julia’s views are not relevant at all to this dialogue.

Guaranteed you never picked up her cookbook. She never made burgers. PP was talking about her penchant for mayo. Please sit down. You’re not equipped to be commenting on Julia.

It’s a delicious thing!

Julia and Jacques Pepin made burgers together and she put mayo, salt and pepper on hers along with butter on her bun. I’ll take her advice any day over an internet troll. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aaKM_cL4LfU&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD

Exactly, because being picky and having all these wierd food things is super high class. (Total sarcasm). Could you imagine any Royal having these stupid nit-picking things. NO. 'Don't complain, don't explain'

Queen Elizabeth banned garlic from being served at meals, so your point misses the mark.

I don't like mayo, but I would never create a thread just to trash it as a low-class condiment.

Really, OP. Do better.

Anyone else want to add their condiment concoctions?

Mayo mixed with A1 sauce — plus either dill pickles or a few capers. I use this on turkey burgers, but it would probably be even better with ground beef burgers.

In college! I would order bacon cheeseburgers with mayonnaise and mushrooms. The mushrooms were sautéed with thyme (I think). They were delicious.

She also restricted onions. My BIL doesn’t want garlic and onions in their food, either, because his mom didn’t like them. Life is too short to make such restrictions. DH didn’t like the smell of kim chee but he knew I would eat it anyway. Now he’ll have a little with his bulgogi.

To think of any food as “low class” is to be an uneducated moron, which is the worst kind of low class.

Europeans use mayonnaise. It’s not low class.

Right? So much good food whether it's Thai or Italian or Peruvian comes from a "low class" origin. 100 years ago lobster was a poor man's dish in the US. If someone wants to put mayo or an aioli on a hamburger, only a classless luddite would judge.
