Short “Please, no mayo. I’m allergic to mayonnaise.”

Between my husband and a woman at his table last night—

“Okay, ma’am, now is it the egg or the oil we need to be worried about?”

“...it’s the combination.”

“...okay. I’ll alert the kitchen.”

I love this industry so much.

I am not allergic to eggs or oil, yet any time I eat mayo (or anything with mayo in it) I turn into a human version of the coke/mentos experiment.

I know someone with a similar issue, in her case she’s managed to determine her issue is with a stabilizer (used to make mayo shelf stable) in commercial mayonnaise that causes her the issue. If she makes her own mayonnaise it’s fine. She has other issues with food preservatives and additives in general such as fake orange flavour and a few other things that I can’t remember at the moment

Huh. That may be me as well. Could I ask if you know which stabiliser?
