Bloody hell, this coleslaw I’m eating has a LOT of mayo in it. I actually think there is more mayo in this coleslaw than cabbage (or whatever else ingredients constitute coleslaw).  I’m trying to skim the salad bit off the top in an attempt to avoid all the mayo but this is proving fruitless.

The Brits do love their mayonaise, don’t they?  I had thought the North Americans the Kings of Condiments, but the stand alone mayo prize is definitely not leaving this little piece of the world.

And its not just coleslaw, it’s everything.  You go try and buy a pre-made sandwhich at any of the regulars – Pret-a-Manger, Eat, M&S,… and show me more than 2 options that don’t include a whole heap of mayo.  And what about Coronation Chicken? In non-marketing speak, that’s just mayo with yellow colouring plus chicken.

And yet, here we are at the end of the mayo-hating post, and I’ve eaten all the coleslaw :(
