I’m tired of pretending it’s not.

      I misread your comment and thought you hadn’t found one you liked.

      Still, having a recipe means you’re always just a couple minutes away from having fresh mayo at a fraction of the cost.

      I figure 1.5 pints costs me about 75 cents. Much cheaper than the store bought stuff. And tastes better than any of them (in my opinion - it is made for own tastes after all).

      It’s also saved me in a pinch when a recipe called for mayo and I didn’t have any.

      Also the health difference between olive oil vs the canola or soybean oil used in commercial mayo. Seed oil is one of the worst things we could ever eat.

      I guess blending 5 ingredients is about the same difficulty level as getting betrayed by a manufacturer, going to a store several times buying 5 different expensive brands, not really liking any of them, and either wasting the food or eating sth you don’t like for a few months, and then finally homing in on something. Both takes some amount of work. Both is fine, though. Whatever floats your boat. I also buy a specific store brand mayo and like it. But if they ever change it I’m not so sure anymore. Lots of companies put way too much vinegar into their products.
