Best Foods Mayonnaise
I am really fortunate to easily get Best Foods Mayonnaise on base here. Don't know what I'd do without it! Cannot handle Japanese mayonnaise like the popular Kewpie, and cannot handle Miracle Whip either. The taste is different. Grew up with Best Foods in Hawaii. And I'm not used to seeing yellowish mayonnaise like Kewpie. For mayonnaise it's gotta be Best Foods (or Hellmann's).
It is a ''requirement'' for macaroni or potato salad in Hawaii. Nothing else will do.
From club sandwiches, to subs, to BLTs, to tuna salad or egg salad sandwiches, to using a mayo/shoyu mix as a dip for boiled artichokes or fresh watercress or grilled dried ika, it's gotta be Best Foods.
A very favorite sandwich spread I make, and so easy, involves chopping/dicing up small any leftover meats that I have and mixing with BF. From the Kalbi Shortribs I made the other night (used for my dinner tonight - pix below), to shoyu chicken, to teri beef, to steak, anything, to even kalua pork, it is just a divine sandwich! Whatever used to marinate the meat gets mixed with and flavors the mayo!

ah, a local favorite. thanks for my stash :)
That's so true about Best Foods mayo. Mac salad just doesn't taste the same with anything else.
what?! you dip your dried squid in mayo/shoyu? Can you show me a picture of the kind of ika you use? If I think it's the same thing I used to eat when small-kid time...I just rip 'em and chew it. The legs were my favorite part. And den there's the red colored dried squid legs which I don't see too much of these days. I'm ono for some of that now.
You're right....it has to be Best Foods! My wife freaks out that I eat watercress with shoyu and mayo.....
Eh pflower,
The dried ika I eat now is sold here in Oki, much bigger then the small kid stuff you're talking about. I'll take a picture. The Chinese and Koreans have theirs too.
Put the ika on the grill or over the flame on a gas stove, singe a little, then shred. And yah, dip in mayo/shoyu! Get in the bars at home for pupu.
I remember the red ika you're talking about. Hands and mouth got stained from the food coloring. Yah, was ono though.
