I've made my own mayonnaise, but it is better that I don't. The jarred mayonnaise is passable, and I'll have a little once in a while, but the homemade kind is so delicious that it tempts me to eat more mayonnaise than is good for me.

Quid, if you don't have mustard, that's OK. Season it up with hot peppers, and you'll like it just fine. You know you will!

So I'm resurrecting this old thread.

Turns out that mustard powder was available here. Hidden, not readily available all the time, but occasionally and often enough that it's not a problem. [Smile] I also frequently add red chili powder for flavour. [Razz] And my favourite so far is with a clove of minced garlic added. Yum!

I haven't bought a bottle of mayo since, well, then. I had a few issues with emulsion, but switched from grocery store eggs (labelled as five days old on average) to eggs from the shop a hundred yards down the road and haven't had problems since. [Smile]

So. You know. Happiness reigns.

That is all. [Big Grin]

Cool! Even though this thread reminded me that I forgot all about going to Ruth's Diner in Emigration Canyon for Polenta Benedict while I had the chance.

Oh yes, minced garlic is nice in mayo. I like doing that with chopped basil too. Chili powder sounds good.

Red chili powder is heavenly. [Smile] Gives it a nice bite. [Smile]

I'd love to try chopped basil. I've tried growing some, but the seeds didn't germinate, or the ants stole them, so it looks like I'm going to have to order more seeds before that happens. And that'll take another couple of months or so... [Smile]

I also once made a batch with coconut vinegar (it was the only kind I had in the house at that moment), which gave it an interesting flavour. That was pretty nice, too, but doesn't work all the time for everything. But then, garlic mayonnaise doesn't work well with tuna sandwiches, in my opinion.
