You know they eat fries with mayonnaise in Amsterdam?

[American Oyaji]

They eat potato chips with togarashi spiced mayonaise in Japan.

Don't be fucking with the Nederlander....Kewpie is still the best by the way, the red-top 100% fat shit, not the 1/2 calorie shite.

The Belgians also eat it with mayo btw.

Wait, you never tried the Bikkuri Donkey Fried potatozes with the special Bikkuri Mayonnaise ?
I drive until Okazaki to buy this crap as it is not stocked in bottle in every restaurant... (and you have to make a right turn across route 1 without red light protection to enter the parking, I nearly died... countless times just to have some decent Mayo)

[Tsuru]

I (full time Netherlander) was amazed at the proliferation of mayonnaise in Japan when I first got in the country. Or at least the stuff they like to call "mayonnaise" here, anyway. They will put that shit on literally everything, even sushi. Barf.

Kewpie is shit... I'd rather eat my fries with ketchup or nothing at all if I only have this option. I think it was the Belgians who first came up with fries+mayonnaise by the way.... ergo: Belgian mayonnaise is the bees knees.... Anyone got that link to that restaurant where everyone has their own bottle of mayonnaise?

[Yokohammer]

Doesn't anyone make their own mayonnaise anymore? It's basically egg yolk, oil, and vinegar with a pinch of salt, and you can add pepper, mustard, or other seasonings to taste. You can also fool around with the type of oil you use to modify the taste.

Admittedly it's a bit tricky to get it to emulsify properly every time, but if you're seriously into mayo, homemade is the way to go!

A long time ago my J-guy used to make it for us; he said that most people made their own in Japan, was suprised that we don't.
It was really good; then the salmonella warnings came out here and killed that idea (along with raw egg on rice, natto beaten with raw egg, home-made eggnog, runny sunny side ups, semi-raw egg over ramen, etc. etc.)

The word out is that even organic free-range eggs are not exempt.

Oh right ... you're in the U.S. aren't you. That eliminates dipping your sukiyaki in raw egg too, doesn't it. Bummer. But don't they sell sterilized eggs for raw consumption? Or is that just too expensive?

Over here the eggs you buy at the supermarket have (supposedly) been sterilized and are safe while fresh. In fact the "use by" date on the package is actually the limit for eating the eggs raw, and they can still be cooked after that date.

Yeah... just try finding decent mustard here...


Hummm... raw eggs... with some nuttsmeg (noix de muscade) powder... with mominlaw bbq meat...

Yeah, no egg on the sukiyaki here! (sigh)
No, I've never heard of sterilized eggs before now, and have never seen them even in organic markets, so I Googled around and found this on The Culinary Review site. Pasteurizing eggs might be ok if you have nothing else to do with your life, but...

There were also more articles about "Scientists working on a method" blah, blah... I'm curious-do you know how they sterilize eggs over there? I was thinking maybe irradiation?

Sorry, I don't know the exact method used, but I do remember hearing or reading somewhere that it adds to the cost of the eggs, which of course figures. As you suggest, irradiation with UV might be it. I found plenty of articles about this by Googling "irradiation of eggs." Apparently the FDA is mulling this over.

Pasteurization does look to be a bit labor intensive, but if you're jonesing for a raw egg fix that's probably the fastest and safest way to go!

I'm not a specialist on food grade ionizing radiation, although the wiki is as usual fascinating http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_irradiation (damn how could we have lived without that stuff...)

But one thing is sure... UV works only with direct exposure... line of sight... and surface only... So UV treatment will produce a really clean eggshell, but won't do anything for what's inside the egg... That's why you have UV lights for hand dryers in some restaurants or loo... and you also have one for the water tank of your fridge icecube making device... it sterilize standing water... if the water is clean enough...

The way I understand it, the bacteria (salmonella, etc.) are on the surface of the shell, not inside the egg. Breaking the egg contaminates the contents. That's why sterilizing the shell works.

But I'm not an expert on this either. That's just what I've heard.

Though the method of production may make the eggs in the US more likely to be tainted, you can still consume raw of runny eggs. The chances of getting sick are pretty slim. Japanese eggs aren't necessarily safe either. In the US, people aren't used to chicken sashimi for example, so it seems dangerous to eat. However, plenty of people eat rare steak and raw oysters without thinking about it. Both can make you very sick. I just don't worry about it.
