    Text - Michael Gold Follow @migold SCREAMING phillymag.com/articles/2018/ ... MY SON JAKE, who's 25, eats mayo. He's a practical young man who works in computers and adores macaroni salad. He's a good son. I also have a daughter. She was a women's and gender studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise. And she's not alone.

    Text - Amy Argetsinger Follow @AmyArgetsinger Taylor Swift is having a pretty good decade, though, so I don't know about this metaphor. phillymag.com/articles/2018/ ... What was missing, though, was the common foundation of all Mom's picnic foods: mayonnaise. While I wasn't watching, mayo's day had come and gone. It's too basic for contemporary tastes pale and insipid and not nearly exotic enough for our era of globalization. Good ol' mayo has become the Taylor Swift of condiments

    Text - tl 1 Yoni Appelbaum @YAppelbaum Aug 14 11 3. Mayonnaise starts as a European condiment. It crosses the Atlantic because-with a lot of effort and some skill-you can take a fork or whisk, and drop-by-drop, blend oil into egg yolk, praying it won't curdle. You're showing off your culinary skill, or your wealth

    Text - ti2 Yoni Appelbaum @YAppelbaum Aug 14 4. But then, America! Immigrants figure out how to industrialize this process. It gets peddled under names like "Hellman's Blue Ribbon" and "Mrs. Schlorer's." The names themselves advertise it as a product of the delicatessen-and ethnic foodway, becoming mainstream.
