I only recently started going with mayo on my burgers, because I need a grease shield to protect the heel of the bun (the local place I get bugers from makes them big 'n' greasy).
Hm. Maybe this is why I'm 325 lbs...

Also, mayonaise is fucking disgusting. Full stop. Unfortunately Japanese food service staff have a habit of shutting down when you "deviate from the script", and so ordering burgers without mayo is often a huge production. When I toss in a "no mayo" to my order (in Japanese mind you), the staff usually freezes up, their eyes glaze over, and steam starts coming out of their ears as they try to cope. More often than not I have to repeat myself three times, talk to a manager, and still end up with gobs of disgusting white gunk on my sandwich. It's... tiring. Sheesh! I feel for ya, Hyvemynd... you mention Japan a lot, and it's almost never anything good.

The sushi bar I go to serves a broiled mussels appetizer, and I think they're doused with mayo.

Mayo and Spicey Mayo has become a thing with a lot of Asian fusion places here in Austin. I'm not complaining, it's a great dipping sauce for spiced Brussels sprouts and picked veges but mayo just seems so odd to couple with Asian food.

So in the new United Soviet Socialist Republic of HappyJacks the supply of mayo and crabsticks are integral to the 5 year plan? Aaron

I feel for ya, Hyvemynd... you mention Japan a lot, and it's almost never anything good. I can't speak for HyveMynd , but I can confirm that lots of places here are WAY TOO FASCINATED with how to apply mayonnaise to just about anything. There are plenty of snack breads at the convenience stores which have mayo inserted in them, or baked on top of them, and I am always worried about how something like that would stay safe at room temperature. Of course, there's the other precedent about Japanese fascination with "gobs of disgusting white gunk" in Japan, I've seen that section of the adult video aisle, so I'm hoping he's talking about mayo.

Sheesh! I feel for ya, Hyvemynd... you mention Japan a lot, and it's almost never anything good. I do seem to complain about Japan a lot, don't I? Things here honestly aren't that bad though, otherwise I'd have left. It's just that the bad points about Japan (and there are bad points contrary to what your average anime fan boy would have you believe) are more entertaining to share than the good points. It's not like stories about how I feel safe enough to count the cash I just pulled out of an ATM while walking down the street are funny.

Man, you guys need to get out to Germany. Pommes mit Mayo is a delicacy, and who doesn't love a country that sells Pilsner in McDonalds?

You don't seem like one of the foreigners who dislikes Japan or is graceless about being a guest in the country. I've met a few of those, and I have no tolerance for them. You're just aware of the spaces where the differences between Japanese and American culture make life a little difficult. Most of the anime fanbois and figure or game collectors just come over for shopping and go home while still in the "Honeymoon Phase."

I've tried the laissez faire approach, and as much as it pains my libertarian heart, it's not working. So now I'm going full Stalin.
