Mayo
Posted by terrepruitt on July 12, 2023
I had a funny friend post something recently on Facebook that made a few of us go, “Huh?” She does not eat mayonnaise, but ended up with a very large jar of it in her fridge, but that wasn’t the “Huh?” part. The “HUH?” was “Extra Heavy”. I had to look it up. Interesting. Extra heavy means more egg yolks which is really kind of funny because I feel like the mayo we buy USED to list eggs as the first ingredients and now it is “soybean oil”. So then I was thinking that “back in the day” perhaps most mayonnaise were “heavy” because they contained more eggs and more yolks. Either way, I was fascinated that there was such a thing as “extra heavy mayonnaise”.
Have you ever heard of that?

I’ve only heard of “light” mayonnaise. How odd it would be marketed as extra heavy!

Kind of makes sense though. I am assuming “light” has less eggs to make it less calories/fat (whatever the “light” is going after). All the searches stated it was much creamier. YUM!
