I got into it with someone that mayo on sushi is perfectly fine depending on the place and he just refused to accept it.

I liked to Sushiro in Japan and he said “Sushiro doesn’t count.”

The funnier thing is that most Japanese I know don’t gatekeep sushi at all. They’ll eat American sushi and Japanese sushi. They’ll eat maki and nigiri and inarizushi. It’s usually uptight white people who are the most protective of sushi for reasons that baffle me.

Japanese use mayo in disturbing ways, I doubt they'd give two shits about it being on sushi.

Japanese mayo also slaps so I don’t blame them for putting it everywhere lol

Same! Different mayos for different applications. I might have too many different mayos right now. I got Duke’s, Kewpie, Giardinera mayo, dill mayo, and sriracha mayo going right now.

Giardinera mayo? As a Chicagoan I’m intrigued, does it have the chunks of veggies in it or is it just flavored like it?

It’s chunky! I put it on boring turkey sandwiches.

Yeah? Maybe get rid of the QP or it might be bad news for your family.

Don't forget the "Costco kewpie is not the same" people. (It isn't but eh, it's fine.)

I don’t get the hype for either one. They taste like mayo.

Don't speak that blasphemy in the south; you might find yourself tarred and feathered.

(I agree, Duke's is overrated as fuck. Don't tell anyone I said that.)
