32 pairings for Mayonesa.

Huevo

classic

Yolk on yolk. The sandwich holds because the fat is the same fat, twice.

Atún

classic

Canned fish is dry and salty. The emulsion re-wets it and rounds the salt.

Sriracha

classic

Fat spreads the burn across the whole tongue. The default sandwich upgrade.

Bland enough to emulsify without shouting. Olive oil would turn it bitter.

Eastern Europe builds every salad on this. The oil contributes texture only.

Apio

common

Fat blunts the bitterness and lets the perfume through. Nothing else does both.

Lechuga

common

Emulsified fat clings to a leaf too smooth to hold vinaigrette.

Palmito

common

Emulsified fat clings to a smooth stem that a thin dressing slides straight off.

Emulsified fat spreads the smoke thin and makes it a spreadable condiment.

Emulsified fat carries turmeric and mutes the dust in one move.

Pepinillo

common

Chopped into the emulsion, the brine keeps the egg fat from going flat.

The emulsion is fat and egg. Everything sharp in tartare sauce is this.

The emulsion carries the seeds so they land evenly instead of in clumps.

Salted punctuation inside a fat that has nothing to interrupt it otherwise.

Citric acid thins the emulsion and lifts the coating off the palate.

Pollo

common

Cold poached breast is dry and bland. The fat is doing all the seasoning.

Steamed spears want fat and acid at once, which butter cannot manage.

Ketchup

common

Fry sauce. Fat plus acid plus sugar, and nobody has improved the ratio.

Gochujang

uncommon

Egg fat emulsifies the heat so it spreads instead of spiking.

Smoke dissolves into oil, so the paprika reads deeper than it does dry.

Yuzu

uncommon

Aromatic citrus oil sits in fat far better than citrus juice ever does.

Wasabi

uncommon

Fat tames the volatile hit and makes it last past the usual two seconds.

Dried-fish inosinate on egg fat. Japanese mayonnaise is built for this.

Earthy sugar under a wall of fat, with vinegar as the only thing holding it.

Two emulsions, one savoury. Cocoa butter and egg fat set at the same point.

Fresa

wild

Fat mutes acid and pushes furaneol forward. Uncomfortable, and it lands.
