Let me start this thread by saying that if you want me dead all you have to do is put me in a room with one of these 4 Poisons. No kidding,an open jar of Mayo would do the trick faster than the gas chamber! I just want to find out how people can actually eat these things,not to mention LOVE them! I know that we all have different taste,but Mayo?Mustard?Vinegar?CAPERS???-- I simply cant understand it. To me,watching a Mayo jar is enough to make me sick,no need to smell or taste it. Mustard-hot dogs or not,Mustard is still just as ugly. Vinegar - it should stay as a 'cleaning product only"--its like taking a Dish Soap and put in the salad...and that would still taste better than Vinegar! And then the worst....the most horrible thing in this world....C-A-P-E-R-S! I prefer a knife in my chest anyday,and no,I am NOT kidding! So,I was wondering who else is thinking like me... Are you Human?...or a Mayo-Lover?

I hate mayo, and am always mystified by people who actually put mayonnaise on meat.
Capers don't thrill me, but I'll eat 'em anyway.
But a good balsamic vinegar in a salad dressing is a must for me, and I couldn't endure a hot dog or a deli sandwich without mustard.

I don't like mayo or white vinegar, but I gotta say, any other kind of vinegar is awesome... red wine vinegar, balsamic, white grape, plum, whatever it be. I love it in salads, and if I'm making a sandwich, I even put it on the bread.
I love mustard (whether it's plain French's, or other kinds of deli mustard); and in regards to capers, I'm indifferent. Probably more on the "like it" end of the spectrum, but I could live without them, too.
Here's what I don't understand: Caviar!! What is the deal here? God forbid if you get some on your hand, it smells all day, even if you wash it. I love creme fraiche, just not the caviar. The only time I can tolerate caviar (but still don't see the point) is when they put the tiny eggs around the outside of a sushi roll, like instead of sesame seeds. I don't understand what people like about it. I'm the only person in my family (even extended family!) who doesn't like it, and they all think I'm a nut... and the worst is when you get invited somewhere, and you have to have it, or else it's rude. :rolleyes:

I love mayo and mustard -- what else goes on a turkey sandwich besides BOTH of them at the same time?? And how can you have chicken or tuna salad w/o mayo?? And if you've never had french fries w/ mayo instead of ketchup, you have no idea what you're missing!!! As a kid I ate hot dogs w/ ketchup but soon grew into the more mature taste of mustard. And not that yellow shit (which is fine I guess) -- but the Guldens Spicy Brown mustard! Or any gourmet mustard. Especially if it has horseradish in it! As for capers, well, they're not something I'd eat out of a jar or anything, but, a few on smoked salmon or in some cooked dish can add a nice flavor! Things I don't care for are very few, and would include: beets, relish, liver (except I love liverwurst, go figure!)... hmm, hard to think of more... I like just about everything, including all vegetables and seafood... I suppose if you don't like those four easy things, I suppose a nice beef tongue sandwich is out of the question? (omg - so great!!)

Oh yeah, vinegar... in moderation, it's great. Nothing beats a good balsamic, it's good on salads and for dipping bread (though I prefer dipping in olive oil). Oil and red wine vinegar are okay on salads, if not a bit plain, but I prefer a more mild yet tasty vinaigrette. Besides cleaning your coffee maker, the only thing I can think of to use white vinegar for is to add to fresh french fries -- but that's a boardwalk thing.

Originally posted by J Geoff: I suppose a nice beef tongue sandwich is out of the question? (omg - so great!!) Now that is something that I absolutely love. There used to be a zillion kosher delis in NYC, but they've become fewer and further in between, and it's becoming harder and harder to find a good tongue sandwich. Originally posted by J Geoff: I'm talking about cow tongue -- sliced thin! I like it heated a little, on rye bread. OMG, sooooo goooood!!!! Try it at a good jewish deli -- and don't think about what it is! You are absolutely the first non-Jew that I ever met who not only liked tongue, but wasn't totally grossed out by it. Yup, thinly sliced is the way to go. Also, tell the guy you want "center cut". And much better cold, IMO. Take it from a Jew.

I have never had capers. I like all of the others though. What's a hot dog without a little mustard, or how can you have Italian dressing without vinegar? I mostly like mayonnaise of the three. But tongue???? I've seen it in the store, but no thanks I'll pass. :p Then again, I have eaten tripe, and octupus (dipped in vinegar) which many people don't like. Go figure. Also, although all my family laughs at me, my favorite part of the chicken is the neck and the wings!!! TIS

My mom likes stuffed derma (beef casing) and I've tried that, but it's so thin, it's nothing. But tripe just looks wrong! (Heh, I guess seeing a full tongue in the store would look wrong, too, though! )

I like the first three for the reasons TIS and Geoff mentioned. Beef tongue is not half bad when cooked properly. When I tried beef tongue for the first time, I had no idea that it actually was tongue, or I never would have tried it. Someone tricked me into tasting it, then after I had approved of the meat, was told its true identity. It's all good.

Plaw, Katz's Deli is still very good. As for a deli in NJ, have you ever been to Harolds in Edison NJ? Not a Kosher Deli, but an excellent deli! The owner was a former partner in The Carnegie Deli. If you are ever interested in going there, let me know and we'll go! As for answering the original question. I like mayo on certain foods, goldens mustard on Hot Dogs, but yellow mustard, YES GEOFF, YELLOW!, on certain sandwiches. As for vinager, like my friend Plaw, I enjoy a good balsamic vinegar on various foods. Oh, and I know it's not on the list, but Plaw has great taste when it comes to Italian Restaurants and their garlic bread! Don Cardi

I'll put ketchup on french fries, (once they're smothered in vinegar and old bay of course), but that's about it. I put mustard on my hot dogs with onions. That is unless I'm having a chili dog. I don't put them all on together. I admit I'm a mayonaise nut. That's what I put on most of my sandwiches. My comfort food is a cheese and potatoe sandwich smothered in mayo.

But you must bring your appetite and go with a bunch of people! The portions are wayyyyy out of control. One sandwich can probably feed 3 people, no lie! Let me put it this way: If you, Plaw, TB, SC, Lori and Myself were to go, Three sandwiches would plenty with much left over! We may just have to have a meet there one of these days. I'll keep that place in mind and let you know!

I've been to Carnegie and have eaten a sandwich myself. I'm a pig! [/b][/quote]No Geoff, forget the size of the sandwich in The Carnegie Deli, it doesn't even come close to this sandwich! True story : the first time I went to Harold's a friend took me there. We were a party of 7. I told him to do the ordering. Well he orders one bowl of Matza ball soup, one order of onion rings, 2 orders of fries, One Pastrami sandwich, one Corned Beef sandwich, and One BrisKet sandwich! I'm sitting there saying to myself " is this cheap basterd kidding me? I can eat the soup, a sandwich and a fries all by myself, what the hell is he doing!" All the while my friend is smirking at me. Well when they brought the food everyone ate, they have a rye bread bar that you go up to and take slices of bread from so that you can make sandwiches off of the original sandwich! When we were done, we had to take what was left over home! He ordered one Eclair for the table! They used two cans of whipped cream to fill this thing! That's how big it is! When we left,he turns to me and says " tell me the truth, when I ordered the food, you were sitting there asking yourself what the hell is everyone else going to eat, right?" and I burst out laughing! Geoff, listen to me my friend, you have NO IDEA how HUGE the stuff is in this place! And it's good too! Don Cardi

Actually it is connected to a Ramada Inn, next to The Hilton, right near the convention center. DMC will have to join us! The more that come, the more we can order and taste! Don Cardi

The last time I was there was the weekend before we went to Chicago, and it was a Ramada then. So it must have changed between then and now.

As far as Katz's goes, Don Cardi, I never much cared for the place. The corned beef is too fatty. I always preferred the Second Avenue Deli. There's also still a good one in your old neighborhood: Adelman's, on Kings Highway around E.19th St.

Tongue sandwich rocks, I love it and I don't have any Jewish relatives at the moment. I like mayo specially with some chicken and potato salad. I love vinegar for salad dressing, after all what's better than oil and vinegar to go with salad? The second best dressing for salad for me is plain lime juice. It is also great with any kind of fish. Yummy! My mouth is watering. I don't care that much for mustard while I don't consider it toxic and I eat it once in a while. I love any kind of pickles, halopania(sp?) peppers, those sour delish pickles. hmm...only if my stomach doesn't get upset of its excessive acid. But when I was a kid I couldn't eat any of these, there were too strong for my taste back then. I now look at my nieces and they manage to eat the whole bottle of mayo in a few seconds if you don't watch them. Pretty strange to me!

Is Jack Cooper\'s Celebrity Deli still in Edison? When I go to their site it redirects to their new Warren restaurant. Never been there, either, but Harold's did have a better review.

You know when sometimes you leave your laundry in the washer for too long after they're done (like overnight) and they smell gross and moldy? If you pour in some white vinegar and let it wash again, the smell is gone. See? it's not completely useless.

It reminds me of this joke: A guy goes into a deli and doesn't know what to order, so he asks the waiter to suggest something.
The waiter replies, "How about a tongue sandwich?"
The guy yells, "Yeccch, thats disgusting, how could you want me to eat something that came out of an animal's mouth? Suggest something else"
The waiter replied, "OK, how about a fried egg sandwich?"I guess its all relative, but I hate tongue sandwiches. One thing I DID love (as a kid) was rendered chicken fat on bread. Its heart attack city, but its sooooooo good.

Bally's has an Excellent Deli, which may be the one that you are thinking of, "Pickles" is the name of it. Very good place. As for what you say about Katz's corned beef, yes, you are correct. The last several times we ordered from Katz for lunch, a couple of people complained just about that! Me, I had the Brisket, which was still pretty good. But the place is not what it used to be.

One of the many things that were great about NYC is the enormous number of delis and restaurants. We don't have a fraction of the delis here that you guys do. I wish I could remember the name of the one I went to when I was there (somewhere by the Edison). I ordered a pastrami sandwich which consisted of 1 lb. of pastrami!!! It was great. I think probably the best I ever had. Not only that...... I ate it all!! :p I didn't want to walk around carrying a half of pastrami sandwich. I had to eat it. :p TIS

I think TIS is talking about the Edison Hotel in the city, not Edison, New Jersey.

I love mayo, but dislike the other 3, especially mustard. I hate pickles and mustard the most.

Cardi, That sandwich sure looks mighty good!! :p PLaw is right though. I was speaking of a deli by the Hotel Edison. I didn't know there was a city by that neme. The only Edison I know around here, is our electric company. And PLaw, it was Carnegie. You've been there? TIS

Isn't that one of the criteria to even be hired as a waitress in a deli? It's always surreal, having a mean, pissed-off woman calling you "Honey" or "Sweetie."

Well you may think what you want about the way that the food looks in that picture, but I can tell you first hand that the food is really good! Let me put is this way, if you get to the place after 5:00PM, you have at least an hour wait! And it's been that way for years! Don Cardi
