Kewpie mayonnaise is just mayonnaise. It's one of the better ones, but it's not some fundamentally different thing. If it's out of stock I'll buy a different brand because it really doesn't make much difference. I actually like the Praise Real Whole Egg with Olive Oil slightly better and only switched to Kewpie because my local supermarket stopped stocking it.

My extremely popular opinion that will probably be unpopular ITT due to demographics: Americans should shut the gently caress up about their gross sugar sauces.

The US isn't even close to the top mayo loving country, that stereotype is the weirdest loving thing. Like I'm a dual citizen and lived in France for years, France uses more mayo than the US and still doesn't even come close to say, Belgium or Korea

e: also I just want to point out France has poo poo like processed, sliced, and bagged brioche that is more sickly than the US's worst corn syrup wonderbread offerings

I was watching an asian street food video once and near every sandwich had horrifying levels of mayo on it.

Not some spread across the bread but literal globs. There was an "Egg Burger" that I swear was half mayo.

And ketchup. Tons of ketchup on everything.

Huh. Looks like it's the vinegar amount that's different. Salad cream is water, vinegar, oil, sugar; miracle whip is water, oil, hfcs, vinegar. It's all about the acidity of the vinegar for me.

Yeah that's waht I've been saying. The mayo -> salad cream -> miracle whip difference is just about the vinegar ratio. It's ok to like the more vinegar one, the less vinegar one, or both, but acting like they're some wildly different thing is asinine. Of course I think the poster doing that the most is from the uk, so they get a pass on recognizing edible food products.

Calling it salad cream is british, but even the idiot americans have indeed sussed out the Queen's brilliant sauce

I say this as someone who goes bonkers for marmite, I'm not just trashing weirdo british food out of bias

The ideal breakfast, I dare say, is toast with marmite and cheddar. S-tier right there.

Sugar being used as a preservative blows some people's minds apart. I've cut out sugar recently and the only difference is that I have to spend a little more money at the grocery store.

I like sugar but also I think it's important to try and stick by ones principles. It's why I am trying to stop. So many chocolate companies seem to do such awful poo poo that I don't know what to buy any more.

I’ve never really liked sweet as a flavor on its own. It’s good as a component but just straight up sweet? Usually I’ll pass. That said I will occasionally go to town on some skittles, I get a weird craving for them sometimes.

If I’m doing candy I go for the sour stuff.

Try not to eat a diet of only straight fructose and you don't really have to worry about it. Not being the size of a mouse would help too.

Also the difference in the fructose levels of HFCS and table sugar is negligible. Table sugar is 50% and hfcs is 55%.

Yeah, I think the reason why people get upset about high fructose corn syrup is that it has fructose in the name, which kind of sounds like a chemical. Sugar can't contain chemicals, since 'sugar' doesn't sound like a chemical.

Look at this fool, got a drawer full of measuring cups just floating around.

Seriously though, the best measuring cups I’ve ever had are ones that had an indent in the handle that let them nest like matryoshka dolls and clip together with friction.

I'm aghast that someone would only have one pair. I've got like six pairs of measuring cups and four measuring spoons.

I do immediately un ring then after purchase and just let them sit in the drawer stacked

Let's not commit people all the time. Commitment is a big thing at any time.

I think personally accepting death is one of the few ways of getting through everything that is happening. It's just that it can shade too rapidly into hoping for it.

Same, but I also recently realised that one set is actually US cups and not metric, which is weird for Australia. On the other hand, I can make David Eyre's pancakes with the correct volumes.
