Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Kris, You mentioned real mayonaise as good fat. I thought mayonaise was all vegetable oils, therefore bad fats. What type of mayonaise do you use?

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2002 Report Share Posted June 19, 2002 I'm talking about a cold pressed safflower oil in mayo from the co-op, and assuming that's a lot better than Miracle Whip. I intended to try making mayo with olive oil, but just never got to it.
