I used to feel that way about the special sauce on a Whopper.

We make a pear salad the same way, canned pear halves, grated cheese and a dab of mayo. Very good.

As a kid, I had this very often - my mom would make it and it was also a staple of "potluck dinners." I am from the south for what that's worth.

I loved it - it's a great flavor combo. I always preferred it with just a little dab of mayo and plenty of shredded cheese!

Right - and this southern girl can't stomach a burger with mustard instead of mayo!

To each his or her own I guess. I want my burgers loaded with everything, add mayo. YUM.

Very southern. The school cafeteria would serve this on special occasions and we thought we had an awsome treat. It's a way to make something special put of nothing.

When I was a kid fresh fruit in the winter was scarce. Apples, oranges and bananas were about it. Once in a while we'd get green grapes. During a long MN winter that gets old after a while.

Mom made this pear salad sometimes, too, and she never lived south of northern Iowa. Sometimes she'd mix a little maraschino juice from the cherries into the mayonnaise.

Every now and then I mix up a package of Jello with canned fruit and DH devours it. Wouldn't want to eat it often but it's a taste from our childhoods.

LOL, mustard shouldn't be on a burger, either!

KETCHUP is the condiment you put on burgers. Anything else is weird.

People can put what they want on their burgers, but servers either have to let them put their own condiments on or ask first. Unexpectedly getting a burger with hot runny mayonnaise on it is not a pleasant surprise. Or mustard. Ketchup is the most common condiment for a burger, but I have met people who don't like it, so one cannot just assume.

I think you are thinking of the Big Mac, i.e. McDonald's. Remember their little jingle?



The Whopper doesn't have a special sauce, just condiments like mayo, ketchup, mustard if that's what you order on it.
