- mistrial9 8y agomayonnaise has special properties regarding food spoilage, it can be legitimately poisonous when it turns bad.. which in food services, is a constant.
- culturestate 8y agoThis isn’t the reason you can’t get mayo with fries in Japan, though. It’s a cultural barrier against deviating from the “rules,” no matter how small. Mayo isn’t on the menu as a condiment; sorry! Example: I once had to fill out a form (as a designated corporate representative) authorizing myself to access our racks in an NTT data center and then fax it to the DC manager (who I knew personally) before he would let me in. During this entire process we were standing in the same room. It used to annoy me when I first moved to Tokyo, but you eventually learn to live with it.
- tatami 8y agoThis surprises me, since there are a lot of Japanese obsessed with mayonnaise, putting it on everything including white rice.
