Best Foods is the best. Kraft or Heinz sold here is very sweet. Having said that, there has not been any low-fat Best Foods anywhere in C.M. for about 2 months now. Now, they are out of the regular Best Foods (high-fat) everywhere.

There goes the high blood pressure and cholesterol count.

We use REAL mayo, sold in 1 liter plastic bags at Makro/Tesco etc.

This one has the lowest amount of suger, 3.8% which is more to my western liking.

Most of the other have 28% sugar !!!!

Try it.

Agreed; this is the best around and Makro is the cheapest too but, do they have any? Haven't looked since these 'shortages' began.

Just checked my jar of Kraft "Mayo", and it says less than 2% sugar. Also says, "real mayonnaise"

It's ok - not sweet

Totally agree. Its the least sweet Mayo I've tasted. Bears no relation to the sweet Thai concoctions. Only 8% satuated fat and no trans fats. Sounds healthy to me. Might do with a bit more sugar.

For myself I mostly use Low Fat salad dressings.For egg salad I use tartar sauce.

I have used this mixture before and it came out pretty good. One thing to keep in mind is that unlike Kraft or other commercially made mayo, the home made has no chemicals to preserve it and although that may be healthier it will only be safe to eat for about a week.

I just bought Best Foods mayo at Carrefours a few days ago. They also sell Heinz low-fat mayo, but I don't like it personally. I also buy Best Foods mayo at small Tesco store in Maejo, but they only have small jars. What I really hate is the stuff they call salad cream.

Yep, Rimping also do the bags which works out at more than 2 jars worth. That Best stuff is gross.

[noise]

As pointed out, Kraft mayo is imported and I, too, have not been able to find it recently. The local mayo tastes different, but is OK.

I have found that I have to be very careful and read the content label as Best Foods has a baking mayo in an almost identical bag that does have the 28% or so sugar. I knew not to get salad cream but assumed (once and only once) that mayo was mayo. When I got home with baking mayo ...... screwed up my whole day plus I couldn't figure out what to do with it. I have learned that if it says BAKING, don't buy it.

[clip]

yes the thais really dropped the bomb on that thai mayo aaahhhhggg!!!

[geovalin]

You'll find real French mayonnaise at Carrefour under Carrefour brand and probably et Villa and Tops under other brands.

Best Food, Kraft, Heinz contain less sugar than the Thai ones but they are sweet as well. Am I wrong?

Is this the one next to 7/11?

[harrypatterson]

Yes it is the Tesco near 7/11 in Maejo. probably other tesco has it too but I never checked. I also like stuff called best Foods sandwich spread, which is like mayo. They have chicken ham flavor which is very good, in my opinion.

[avidflyer]

I have found that Kraft in Thailand is similar to RealFoods or Helman's in the US. I don't like Kraft in the US, but it is the best I have found in LOS.

[marcgee]

I recently by mistake bought the thai brand mayo -wow so very sweet !

I usually buy the Tesco brand, it is a reasonable price and the best part - it is simular to Hellmans.

It has been o/o stock often though .

I like the Japanese mayonnaise, in the uniquely shaped bottle with the baby on it. Not sweet at all and it has real egg flavour too.

You can buy at Rimping et al.

In the picture is the 500g bottle, the best value, but smaller bottles are also available.

Keeps in the fridge for ages.

There is a Thai version, same looking, same good taste.

Enjoy!

[RED21]

Rimping or Makro... There's also Kasem's

[cardholder]

Heinz at makro and Friendship (cheaper at the latter !)

[elektrified]

Rimping Meechok put out 6 small bottles of Best Foods yesterday (4 were left; I bought 2). They weren't there the day before. I guess supplies are tight!

I like the taste of Japanese mayo, but I am pretty sure it is LOADED with MSG...

[uptoyoumyfriend]

i never heard of Friendship,not as a retail place that is.

what is it then and

where would i find it?

[harrypatterson]

I bought 1 of the small jars of Best Foods mayo at Rimping yesterday. I am unfortunately addicted to mayo and I know it is not healthy. I put it on everything, even Thai food like yam and gaing faktong. This makes family sick to watch, but I tell them if I have to watch them put ketchup on pizza, and corn in ice cream, they can handle this.

I typically only make as much as needed. Or the least possible. Only use lemon, lime came out really weird . Sometimes I add a little english mustard powder, give it a little bite.
