[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gross.  How Americans love foods like potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw etc. (I.e foods drenched in mayo) is beyond comprehension. [/quote]

[b]It's pretty uncultured to think that these require mayonnaise. Broaden your culinary scope.[/quote][/b]

My mother always served german potato salad to cut the heaviness and fat of the turkey and gravy.  It has a vinegar base.  No mayo.[/quote]

A lot of German potato salad has bacon and/or bacon fat. Not exactly a low fat side dish.[/quote]

Also, not mayonnaise.[/quote]

Bacon grease vs mayonnaise? It's a toss up as to which is worse. [/quote]

:lol:  Expand those culinary horizons. I can't think of any German potato salad that has a comparable amount of bacon grease as typical to the amount of mayonnaise in American potato salad, but please feel free to post if you have it.

In fact, a lot of German potato salad recipes just add crumbled bacon as a garnish. But if there is some kind of prejudice or bigotry that underlies this peeve, facts aren't going to matter anyway. So, what's the culinary heritage you come from? Would you like to talk about fried, sugary sweets, or how white rice is one of the worst foods for spiking blood glucose levels, or what?[/quote]

Honestly I'm just going to pass on all the potato salad. No thank you. Don't care if its loaded with mayo or bacon or hard boiled eggs. Hard pass on all of it.[/quote]
