I STOPPED Buying Mayonnaise — This $1 Appalachian Recipe Beats Every Jar

🔗 Grandma never wrote hers down, so I finally did. All 118 plus much more. Get em before they're gone: https://www.opalrowe.com Opal Rowe is eighty years old, and she bought the same five dollar jar of mayonnaise for forty years before she quit. In this one she goes back to the summer she was eleven, when Aunt Virgie set her down at a kitchen table with one egg, a jar of oil, a fork and a little brown bottle with a rag stuffed in its neck. Virgie did two things every cookbook in the country said was wrong, and Opal walks you through her way step by step, by hand and by machine, and counts out the pennies to show it comes to about a dollar. Then she sets two bowls down in front of her own daughter, one from the store and one from her, and does not say which is which. She finally tells you what was in that bottle, and which bowl her daughter reached back for. In this one, Opal covers: • Why the store jar stopped tasting the way you remember, and what the old cookbooks got wrong • Her way by hand with a fork, and the one minute way in a canning jar • The cold egg, the fast pour and the broken batch, and how to save every one of them • What a bowl of your own does for a tomato sandwich, toasted cheese, biscuits and a chocolate cake • The little brown bottle on Aunt Virgie's table, and the two bowls she set in front of her daughter Tell Opal down in the comments where you are watching from, and which side of the split you are on. Did you watch a mama or a mawmaw stir it up in a crock, or did you never know it could be made at home at all? Tell her what your people put in theirs, and name the next store jar you want her to take on. Opal reads every last one.
