I have put butter on my sandwiches forever. The English do, and the
sandwich was invented in England. What else makes the ham, or tuna,
or lettuce or tomato etc stick? Mayonnaise? Sandwiches I ate in
the USA were saturated with mayonnaise, which rendered them sickly and
sweet and simply ruined the tuna or other fillings.

How about gravity? Butter and mayonnaise are positively revolting. Rancid
grease. I never understood how people can smear that pus onto their food and
then voluntarily eat it.

Because they taste good (to most people) :)
Butter is the root of most great sauces, I don't know what the French
would do without it. I use Olive Oil most of the time for health
reasons, but in many dishes, butter is a must. Now Marge, that *is*
revolting.

Well, I make it a practice never to smear rancid butter or mayonnaise on
my sandwiches. Only fresh.

And it's not real mayonnaise, but something called "Hellmans". More suitable
wallpapering.

Nonsense. Hellmann's is real mayonnaise. Miracle Whip is the non-real
stuff, aka "salad dressing."

Try making it "real" and fresh and then compare it to "Hellman's"

Mayonnaise
=================
2 egg, large, yolks
1 pinch salt
1 dash pepper
1/2 lemon, juice of
1 1/2 cup unsaturated oil

Combine the egg yolks, salt & pepper and lemon juice in a food
processor and pulse to blend Set food processor on low and add the
oil in a gradual stream You can adjust the thickness of the
mayonnaise by adding water a spoonful at a time to make it runnier, or
more oil to thicken Test the mayonnaise for taste and add more salt &
pepper or lemon juice to taste

Well, sheesh, if you're going to say that no prepackaged food is "real"
compared to freshly made food, well...

Never said there was no difference in taste. However, prepackaged food
isn't all fake, either.
