Editor’s Scratchpad


In defense of
artery-clogging
condiment


This isn't going to be pretty, but it needs to be said. Charles Memminger, the Star-Bulletin columnist and famed mayonnaise-hater, is wrong. Mayonnaise is wonderful.

There. I said it.

I shudder to go up against a columnist with Charley's credentials. But confunnit, I love mayo. It's great on broccoli. It's great on celery. And how can a human being possibly live without potato salad and macaroni salad? I love sushi with mayo as a dipping sauce. And here's the clincher. Trust me on this. Mix some mayo in your chili. It's ono!

Run, Charley, run to the potty and retch.

I know retaliation will be swift and horrible. Charley has a column, which compared with a scratchpad is a dump truck driving over a teaspoon.

But, hey, if it's a teaspoon of mayo ...
