Butter, Cream, and Mayonnaise

What is it about those three ingredients that make your brain think yum. If you try any of them by themselves they are not very good. Who wants to eat butter? Plane whipped cream maybe, but mayonnaise? And what in the world is mayonnaise anyway? This is one that I gave up long ago, before I even started thinking about dieting, losing weight, the healthiness of foods, or any of it. Why might you ask? One day I just decided it was gross. You see it a picnic, out in the sun, on top of otherwise perfectly healthy items, and making them a food poisoning risk. How long has that coleslaw been sitting there anyway? Hello potato salad, out in the heat, do you think you have anything growing in you that shouldn't be? Had you just been left potatoes, you would have been fine. Seasoned with olive oil and seasonings that don't need refrigeration you would have been all the yummier. But instead we put in hard boiled eggs, and mayonnaise. Don't we leave those things in the fridge? Next time you are at a picnic, and want all that mayonnaise laden food, think that should be in the fridge, and walk away. Yuck!

I have not yet tricked my brain into thinking it doesn't like butter and cream. I will let you know if I come up with anything.
