Mayonnaise in the Netherlands is required by the Warenwet (Wares law) of 1998 to contain at least 70% fat and at least 5% egg yolk before it may be called mayonnaise

Why do you have mayo laws in swamp germany, @boukert ?

Mayo in NL is big. Unlike lesser civilizations we use it with our fries, instead of ketchup wich is clearly for peasants.

Hence if you order a portion of fries at your local snackbar you can have either mayo or "frietsaus" (fry sauce) which is a lighter variant mayo.

We also serve curry, peanutsaus, unions and a few other sauces with fries or even a mixture of em.

Potato culture runs deep in the swamp!

Does your mass produced mayo have soybean oil as the #1 ingredient? That would explain a lot

Can confirm. It tasted different (i.e. actually good) from the mayo I'm used to.

Joppiesaus-flavored potato chips were amazing and I am sad I can't find any over here.
