I’m sad that I missed posting this on the 4th
Real American Mayonaise , nearly 2 litres each, comes in a 2 pack…
Ridiculous excess. Probably also has three times the ingredients.
To be fair, it’s a bulk club; they’re designed to service businesses, but price-wise to value we go through that much in a year and they have great expiration dates. My pantry exceeds the stock of a small European market :)
Can you fit your fist through the top? Can you scoop out a handful easily and leave fingertrails in the bottom? Then it’s just normal sized IMO.
That is pretty much exactly 1/3 of the size we usually buy in the US. I think it’s a little over 21 oz, I always buy the 64 oz size. Our family goes through it pretty quickly.
That’s just silly, its not even that big. That’s a normal big jar of mayo.
With chocolate bars, premade meals, drinks, ect, its a “size” that works as a gimmick but mayo?
As an American, that’s a normal small size of mayo. Most of our “regular” sizes are almost double that, this is about the size of those smaller squeeze bottles:
Am Statesian. That’s a medium here
Costco size in the US:
For those in less free areas, that’s about 3x the size as the one in the picture. Regular grocery-store mayo (in a jar) is about half the Costco size (something like 850 grams?), and mayo in a squeeze bottle is about the size of the jar picture above.
We, uh, kinda like mayo here…
here’s my go-to dip
1/2 cup mayonnaise (may substitute sour cream, but i can’t remember what it tastes like)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 can water-packed artichoke hearts
1 T minced garlic (when cooking for normal people, just use 1 t but i go to the garlic festival and like those quantities)
1/4 t red pepper flakes
paprika (garnish)- drain artichoke hearts, cut into small pieces.
- Mix all ingredients together except paprika.
- Put into souffle dish and sprinkle paprika on top for color.
- Bake at 350 degrees f for 20 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
- Serve with crackers or baguette thins. Our local bakery does this great crusty pugliese with a wonderful crumb.
My shortcut is that i throw all the ingredients (except the paprika) in the food processor instead of cutting anything myself, then let it do the shredding. The recipe originally didn’t have garlic or red pepper flakes in it, so you can add your own variations if you’d like.
I will always approve of adding garlic. 😀
Thanks for the recipe!
How does it compare to amateur mayonnaise?
Amateur mayonnaise practices until it gets it right.
Professional mayonnaise practices until it does not get it wrong.

“Murica”
You didn’t even microwave it first.
In Europe it’s code for “fatlards”.
Wow, this made me realize I haven’t seen mayo in a glass jar in years.
Avocado mayo comes in a glass jar in my area.
I picked up one last month. Organic. Hated it…
Mayo tanker truck waiting patiently for the BBQ sauce and Pepto Bismol tanker trucks to depart…
As someone who lives in Utah, there better be a ketchup truck pulling up soon because I have a hankering for fry sauce!
That’s not big enough.
It should be the 2 gallon Costco-sized jug to truly be 'Merican.
Are all your jars made from plastic?
Nearly. The exceptions would be for pasta sauce, pickled or fermented things. An even some of those are plastic.
For most things where dropping it is likely and would definitely break it. It also lines up with the cost change for glass going up as the container gets bigger.
I figure part of it is people having a preference for the lighter jar for big quantities, and liking the rigidity of glass for the smaller ones.
The cheap stuff is. If you get the avocado mayo, it generally comes in a glass jar and is about the size of the OP.
90%
Should call that classic American Size. Today the standard container size measured in American comes half filled at twice the price.
In Brazil the “American cup” is the smallest size of cup and I’m always found that hilarious.
Could that be from an “americano” coffee?
If it holds soda, then it makes no sense at all, because a small is larger than many areas’ “large” (sometimes 16oz, or almost 500 ml).
The name americano refers to machinery imported from the United States that was used in the 1940s to produce the first piece.
Ah, makes sense, we had more reasonable portions back then.
600g? Those are rookie numbers. You call that American size? Our smallest jars are 390 (15 oz) grams. Regular and large jars are 780 (30 oz) and 1248 grams (48 oz). And they do have ridiculously big jars too, 1 gallon jars, i.e. 128 oz and 3328 grams, for, like, restaurants and doomsday preppers… or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
Restaurants use a 10 gallon bucket (37.8 liters).
So does my homemade mayo shower.
Why did you DIY? I thought those came standard…
I haven’t seen anything under 20oz in my supermarket, but I’m not buying the fancy “organic” stuff, just the squeeze things for picnics and the larger jars for home.
or dudes that just really love mayonnaise, I guess.
You know it’s nice to be seen
Out of curiosity, I just checked my pantry. I have two 30 ounce jars (1400+ grams), sitting in reserve.
This genuinely represents a failure to comprehend the scale of American food products.
Rookie numbers. We get the 64oz Costco size.
Bro, stop. I can only laugh at Americans so much. And with your fascist leadership I now feel kinda bad for laughing at you.
They’re not lieing…
this is literally the first thing that comes up if you search mayonaise in the US.Maybe don’t eat the mayo in the doomsday prepper bunker.
You leave me and my gallons of bunker mayo alone.
That sounds like how the zombie apocalypse starts.
Zombie or no zombie, it’s how I’m going out.
Maybe American ant size. Costco sells a lovely 1.9L jar.
Liter? Americans aren’t even consistent with their weird systems of measurements. Why is it not marked as 568.3844 fl oz? Or 0.244 football fields or 38.38383 yards or smth
It’s 64oz, or a half gallon, i.e. the smallest unit of milk anyone would buy.
All food and drinks are sold in metric amounts which typically are also very close to an imperial measure.
America labels things in freedom and metric. What doesn’t make sense to be is using volume and not weight.
Yeah, I had to look up a converter to figure out how many grams a mayo-ounce is.
Even the jar looks like it needs to be on a diet
Almost enough for a regular Midwestern salad.
64 fluid ounces = 128 servings of 1 Tablespoon = 11,520 total calories, if you use a child-cheater to scrape out every drop.
A what??
Oh sorry, family word maybe? A child cheater is a flexible spatula (rubber or silicone) rounded on one side, that scrapes all the yummy cake batter out of the bowl and into the baking pan, leaving not enough to lick.
Definitely a local thing, I’ve never heard of it, and I’m a born and raised bowl licker.
That makes sense!
I found a 128 ounce (3.758 litre) jar at Walmart.
That seems kind of expensive. The Costco 64oz variety is often on sale for <$10.
Hell yeah, save by buying a 4-pack.
It’s called a tub of mayonnaise thank you very much.
Wow, only 100 calories!
Psh! Nobody could take a bath in a tub that small.
For anyone unaware, the gallon size of condiments (mayo, ranch dressing, hot sauce, etc) is typically for food service. IOW, restaurants and the like.
That said, there’s nothing stopping individuals from getting it, so the point is still valid.
The 10 gallon size is for food service. The gallon size is for large families. I knew a couple with ten kids who would kill a gallon of mayo quickly.
I worked prep at a buffet, and there was a salad that we made in bulk that used exactly one full gallon of mayo. i got really good at scooping it all out with a spatula in one fluid spiral.
just one of many otherwise completely useless skills i developed in foodservice lmao
Worked at a seafood restaurant and we made coleslaw in basically a 40 gallon trashcan. Even had this auger that you attacked to the top to make it a huge food processor. It would use multiple gallons of mayo.
I worked at a pizza buffet when I was in high school. The ranch dressing, made in 5 gallon buckets, called for multiple gallons of mayo and buttermilk. I too got far too skilled at getting it all out in one go.
Mayo and sour cream are like 80% of the sauces in most restaurants.
those are for “restaurants”
In the way a family size is for a “family”
Hell yeah.
