Is this a Ukrainian thing? Not the white supremacy but mayonnaise on boiled eggs? I had that for lunch at the office yesterday and it was nirvana. Does anybody else do that, or is it a cultural thing?
I also used to do mayonnaise on boiled potatoes but now potatoes are infrequent. I also like mayonnaise on salami. And on cheese.
OK, I’ll stop now.
I’ve only encountered that in the form of deviled eggs.
When your home culture is declared evil, and you’re also forbidden to appropriate anybody else’s, it’s long past time to ignore people who want to police your preferences.

For sure. I never thought of deviled eggs, hashbrowns, and punctuality as an ethnic identity thing, but now you point it out…
Castles existed because there were attackers.
Now that we’ve established that groups with solid group identities and loyalties are a predation threat to groups that haven’t had to think about that for a long time, we will almost certainly start seeing cultural defensive structures. Would be nice if those could happen along religious lines rather than race/ethnic lines, but… I don’t get to make the rules. We’ll see.

Given the complicity of so many Christian denominations in visiting the most dysfunctional migrants on this country, it would be hard to coalesce around those lines. The recent legalization of 500,000 illegals in Spain was pushed through by the Catholic Church, and they are completely open about it.

What’s worse is that the only requirement is that they should have been present in the country for a minimum of five MONTHS prior to December 31, 2025. How does one prove residence for that length of time if they were illegally present in Spain? Clearly the system has been thought so that it could be open to fraud and manipulation.
If that were not bad enough, the measure will not be discussed, voted and passed in the Cortes (Spanish parliament), but is going to be approved by the government in the form of a Royal Decree (Real decreto), which does not have to go through the Congreso de los Diputados (House of Deputies) where it would founder thanks to opposition from the Catalan independence party (Junts). This is deeply undemocratic, although it comes as no surprise from the Sanchez government.
And yes, the Conference of Catalan Bishops is enthusiastically in favour of the measure.

Yep. The democratic process has been completely thrown away. I don’t know if people are aware but in Spain there’s endless wailing about threats to democracy and the return to a dictatorship. Everybody is obsessed with avoiding another Franco. Until of course the entire democratic procedure is thrown away to legalize these migrants.
This is such a joke. Democracy is long dead and gone.

” mayonnaise on boiled eggs?”
Very popular in Poland too. Years ago I was at a recreational event that some brought their own food to (mostly sandwich type things). One guy brought the eggs and a jar of mayonaise and assembled them on the spot. I admired the dedication.
” mayonnaise on boiled potatoes “
My breakfast today was leftover smashed potatoes with… too much…. mayonaise added. Delish!
If we’re getting into embarrassing confessions… I sometimes like plain cold sausage dipped in mayonaise…. and sometimes would have mayonaise on (cooled) spaghetti….
I feel very vulnerable right now….

What I don’t like about the egg salad and the potato salad around here is that they have quite a lot of acidity. Do people put vinegar into them? These could be great dishes without the acidity.
Also, the favorite Soviet egg salad recipe:
boiled eggs-
-processed cheese (like Happy Cow)
crushed garlic
mayo
Delicious.

Commercially, vinegar is no doubt cheaper than lemon juice when making mayonnaisse. Off to continue cooking chili from scatch, because it tastes better ;-D

People usually put lemon juice in to conceal that the food ingredients are not fresh. Otherwise, I don’t see the reason to add it.
In Spain, they use massive amounts of paprika to mask that the ingredients are off. If you go to Spain, avoid the touristy spots that reek of paprika. They serve bad fish and meat and you can get poisoned.
