Woah, we have hit on the Campaign for Real Mayonnaise here. I just buy salad cream myself
What herbs are you using? My basic Mayonnaise recipe is here and salad cream here. No herbs in either.
I agree with @chriscowleysound you canāt beat an old-fashioned whisk and a bit of elbow-grease.
I make small portions of mayonnaise, I like it fresh, but tarragon fits nicely whit cured beef, garlic goes down well whit potatoes, rosemary just be course I love it. So what I am saying is, I just throw in what I fell like
My basic Mayonnaise is egg yolks, salt and lemon or vinegar, this I grind till it is some what coagulated, then I grind in the herbs I like and then oil.
Thanks,
Iāll give it a try next time Iām making some.
You are most welcome
Maybe we should change the theme of the thread to āMayoā.
One thing that we have found that helps is to test that the eggs are fresh. A dash of tabasco is good too.
Iām too whimpy to whisk it. Iāll keep the food processor.
Re: System76
Agreed, but it was good to learn more about them. Iām a bit conflicted about inviting company representatives to be honest. It will always feel like advertisement, right? In this case, the show hostsā questions about products exacerbated that feeling IMHO. Plus, it audibly pushed Emma into a corner. In a future interview with company representatives, please expand more on the general topics like relationship of company to Ubuntu, to parts manufacturers etc. like you did this time in the beginning.
Thanks for the feedback but I felt the interview was pretty detailed. We asked about their focus and their products, but also about their relationship with Ubuntu. I donāt think having someone as a guest from a company by definition makes it feel like an ad, but I am keen to hear more feedback on the kinds of questions you typically want to hear asked in an interview.
Interesting. I hadnāt articulated my thought process in quite this way before, but I think that we get people on the show to talk about interesting stuff theyāre doing, and if youāre a company then one of the interesting things youāre doing is making new stuff to sell, and so you want to talk about it and people listening who are shopping for your sort of thing want to hear about it. That is, indeed, an ad, but I think of it as a light one, in the same way that a friend recommending a thing to me is also a little bit of an ad but I appreciate them doing it. We do speak of more general things, as you note, but it would be disingenuous to speak to people from companies and not ask them about the thing their company does, and I think it would be equally disingenuous to only speak to non-company people as though the world were some sort of commune which has no money in it. But your feedback is noted, and thank you.
It did a bit. The talk of tablets was, obviously, meant jokingly and I believe mostly taken that way, but I wasnāt that happy with what I did there, in retrospect.
Since this thread seemed more about food, I thought I would share this bit of revolutionary technology for brewing tea, just in case you are one, like me, who forgets either when you put the tea bag in or to set the timer.
I find that the exercise helps to aleviate me developing puny cyclist arms
But Iām afraid of straining my fingers to where I cannot operate the remote control on the TV while Iām eating the salad with the dressing I made with the mayo.
