I grew up with Hellmann's at home in Texas, but used Best Foods, when we visited family in California in the summer. (They even had the same music for their jingles.)
How can one eat artichoke without mayonnaise?
Or make tuna salad, or potato salad, or BLT, and so on?
I did Covid lockdown with my daughter’s partner at the time, who is English, and wow did I learn a lot about marmite. A very much acquired taste, apparently, which I did not acquire.
just as we often make pilgrimage to the mother Canterbury, so too you lot should make pilgrimage to the South where you may come to know our spiritual heritage in Duke's
As a cradle Episcopalian from the deserts of the Mountain West, I am also befuddled by the mayonnaise interest, as I am by the affection for seersucker suits.
I guess I'm just a mainstream anglican of the old style, preserved in the Missionary Districts of the Old West.
Let’s be frank. It’s Duke’s on the right and all other mayo on the left. I prefer Hellman’s so I was banned from WAT early on, even though I take my lead from my Southern wife who is a gourmet cook and Academic expert on foodways
Don’t feel too bad. This image is an inside joke about two controversial topics on Twitter circa 2020. Someone denied the physical resurrection and it became a BIG DEAL, and then @erinjeanwarde.bsky.social tweeted about mayonnaise-based salads to bring some levity… and we fought about that instead.
There’s a line in the Gilmore girls where if you leave WASPs alone with cocktails they’ll just form more clubs and I think the writers were probably Episcopal.
@smbrnsn.bsky.social I’m genuinely delighted that I didn’t know an Episcopalian until my 30s but Mormons were totally normal. (Jenna, of course, Sergio.)
The longest chapter of the book I'm trying to get published is about Jesus' resurrection. Rather than "literal" or "metaphorical" I look at the biblical accounts which make the whole thing a lot more complicated. (Confusion is a major theme in the gospels)
Would be interested to read! Confusion and incoherence of gospel accounts definitely suggests some incomprehensibility (super-realness?) but personally I hard reject any idea of the disciples having a collective delusion or some such.
If you can DM me your email address, I'll send you the manuscript. It's not about delusion on the part of the apostles, but rather that the Resurrection is beyond the boundaries of ordinary description. (St. Paul talks about the bodily resurrection, but then talks about the "spiritual body")
I was SO confused as a Vancouverite, Vancouver is "southwest" i.e. metaphorical resurrection?? What?! That can't be right for Arlie - what happened?! 😂
Literal Resurrection for me (ironically for personal theological political reasons) the ascension is the one part of the creed I wrestle to understand tbh
May I add the insight of a 6 yr old 30+ yrs ago as I sat in church with him in preparation for his first Communion the next Sunday. I explained the Ascension, & he said, "Of course, because, if he didn't do that, Jesus could only be at one place at a time. Now he can be everywhere."
He was Anthony.
When the conversation regarding the horizontal axis was going on, I came across this answer to an exercise on Duolingo German. It means I do not love you. I only love mayonnaise.

Metaphorical? Physical? I could never prove one way or the other, so take from it what you need to approach the world and stay in today.
