Mayo is an abomination and should be illegal. I was traumatized as a child whose mother put mayo on everything and forced us to eat baloney sandwiches dripping with the stuff. I should probably still be in counseling.
This is almost exactly how I came to hate mayo, though it wasn't my mom that did it to me, but the mother of a friend of mine.
This woman handed me a baloney, Velveeta, and mayo sandwich one day for lunch, told me to eat heartily, and, well, I haven't been friends with her kid since.

Which is what, exactly?
I mean... By weight... And given
no significant fiber, protein or fat... It's pretty bad. Not as bad as normal ketchup, obviously. Unless you use 3x as much.
I use the Heinz 50% less sugar & salt ketchup. It actually tastes better than the regular version, in stark contrast to their reduced sugar & salt beans, which aren't particularly nice.
It's ketchup, so it's not really supposed to have significant nutritional value, although with 208g of tomatoes per 100ml of product it's certainly going to have its fair share of antioxidants.

My point originally was that ketchup is pretty bad, there's way better alternatives if you want to add flavour and/or moisture to something. Mustard obviously, but chutney's good also and it has texture(s) too, plus it's not as liquid so it's less likely to come squirting out the other side of your sandwich when you bite into it.
I like chutney, but it is in no way a healthier alternative to ketchup. I have some tomato chutney in the fridge at the moment and the sugar content is 28%.
I'm also wondering whether any of the mayo-dissers have ever tried freshly-made mayonnaise.

This isn't about childhood trauma or food abuse, it's about sandwich purity. Focus, people.
Besides, are you sure it was the mayo that caused the nightmare? It was the mention of baloney that triggered me. I mean, eggs don't have asses, Renz, whereas baloney probably does contain a good number of them. Sometimes we blame the wrong things.

My mom always makes her own mayo, she never bought store stuff. It doesn't matter for me either way, I just don't like the thing, the taste and texture are just wrong. That said if I had to choose then I'd pick homemade yeah.

If you get down to it, eggs pop out of hen vaginas. But then if you really get down to it, so did every animal in one way or another.
On the issue of mayo, I'm so sorry that some of us didn't grow up millionaires with our own haute cuisine home chefs that forbade mayonnaise and other signifiers of low class trash who ate their baloney and mayo sandwiches with slices of processed cheese squares and apple slices quietly in the back corner of the lunchroom on the weirdos' table without complaint, with their bowl cut hair styles and hand-me-down ragged striped shirts and jeans, while the popular girls with their new red cameros, Guess jeans, and sophisticated gourmet paninis walked by and audibly scoffed. :nono: :D

Home made stuff is always going to beat store bought, I'm sure if someone made their own ketchup it would actually be pretty good. I used to make my own baked beans and they knocked that Heinz stuff sideways. Of course it did take an hour to rustle up a batch so it lacked the convenience of just opening a tin, but I thought it was worth it.
This thread reminded me of the ONE TIME I bought mayo which was to use as a base for a marinade for a chicken burger, which it worked really well in
after you mixed in a load of actual flavours into it. The downside was once you fried the chicken, it did leak out a heck of a lot of oil.

I've got nothing to add with everyone's predilections except to note that a) demagogue's post painted an immediate picture of the 80s/90s that I both love and hate in equal measure, just like everything being mentioned here, and b) I'm not going to sneer at mass-produced chutneys with added pectin and whatnot in them, they're convenient in a pinch; but you've probably had home-made chutneys and know that there just isn't a comparison at all when it comes to the fresh, authentic thing.

Okay, I don't know about the rest of you but I didn't pop out of a hen vagina. Also, baloney is only good for quick patching a tent in stormy weather. My dog won't eat baloney and he licks his ass. Any meat that is slimy is right out. Greasy is how you want meat.
Back in the seventies only lumberjacks ate things like baloney and it was fried and had a sardine chaser with plain saltine crackers for some reason. No, we ate egg salad sandwiches, and you don't make those with mustard. Liberal mayo and pepper and if you were lucky diced sweet peppers, and by lunch your box smelled like a fart. A fart and an apple is the way we did it and we sat right next to the girls who had fancy turkey and swiss cheese because the swiss also smelled like a fart and nobody cared or had Guess jeans because it was high waisted Chic jeans that emphasized a flat tummy and pear ass in one go and it was great. Of course, that was back in the day when you could say and do any stupid thing for a laugh because the stuck up girls hadn't yet banded together to form cliques.
Also I thought we had English here. Surely not because nobody has mentioned malt vinegar as a condiment.
