Reb Doniel, pointed out one of my pet peeves, in my house, we refer to so called “Babaganoush” made with Mayo, as “eggplant dip”, NOT “Babaganoush”!! Why the companies, deemed it necessary to refer to Eggplant and mayo as “Babganoush”, when it not, is beyond me??!! I am also use to the way Babganoush being made with Tehina, cumin , parsley. My mother would roast the eggplant on open flame. Her baganoush would have a smoky flavor to it. But adding Mayonaise?? No way jose!!
And what is with all these Mayonaise based dips and salads. If it’s vegetable, then just add Mayo, and call it a dip. I’ve seen asparagus dip, broccoli, spinach, etc… all potentially healthy veggies, but once the mayo gets thrown in, are no longer healthy choices.
As a community we need to find healthier alternatives. The cholesterol in these mayo based salads & dips are terrible. How about spreads made with beans? olives?
