Want good mayonnaise?? .....Forget it!
I recently ran out of Kraft mayonnaise,the only brand in Thailand that I found edible, and though nowhere near the quality of Hellmans back home, it was near enough the real thing. Recently Kraft mayo switched from glass to plastic jars, and at some point in the past month have vanished altogether.
Yesterday evening I was tired, hungry and fed up after visiting a Carrefour and both branches of Tops in Silom looking for edible mayonnaise but I was greeted each time by the same brands.
Miracle Whip - Christ I can only imagine what this tastes like.
Best Foods - tastes like it's been made from a powder mix.
The other brand - sickly sweet synthetic muck that only Thais or children would touch.
I ended up in a branch of Tesco's only to see that Kraft had totally gone. Maybe the other stuff wasn't that bad, so I accidentally knocked off a large jar onto the floor and, avoiding the glass, dipped my finger in and winced as I tasted its sickly sweet horribleness.
I did the same to a Thai brand mayo and it was just as ghastly, so I left the store with my blood boiling and had to go without and have something else for my dinner.
