Mayonnaise...
OK, OK, OK... The comments I got concerning ribs and the various condiments that can or can not be used with them has required this post.
So, here are some new fact list items:
-There is no mayonnaise with ribs (There is no crying in baseball...)
Only barbeque sauce or dry rub
-There is no mayonnaise with hot dogs
Only mustard, ketchup, onions, chili, cheese, relish and cole slaw
(Even "Cosmic Dogs" doesn't offer mayonnaise...)
-There is no mayonnaise on corn dogs, fried chicken, french fries, fried pickles or others of the type (mmmphh...).
-There CAN be mayonnaise on hamburgers, croissant cheeseburgers, turkey sandwiches and other deli type sandwiches.
-And lastly, mayonnaise, butter and bacon are not major food groups.
So, try some leafy green vegetables of maybe some dusty dirt mmmm...

Now, listen here: there is, too, mayonnaise on fried foods. Fried pickles come with mayonnaise! Who ever heard of eating a fried pickle without mayonnaise? And although I don't advocate this, the Canadians eat mayonnaise on their french fries.
Hot dogs are best with onions and mustard. OR with blue cheese cole slaw and sweet potato mustard, at Jacks.
Mmmm...hot dogs...
And your quote is from A League of Their Own.
Yea Alison
OK, so there may have been some Canadian influence toward the use of mayo on certain things.
For example, on the Food Network they had the Jack Daniels Invitational Cook Off for barbeque. This is considered by some as the Super Bowl of cook offs.
One of the Food Network announcers was interviewing the various contestants. He came to one entry and asked what their secret was. The head cook said a "mayonnaise based barbeque sauce".
Now, when he said this, it was reminisent of that commercial you know.
(A "group of cowboys" find that they are out of salsa. One of them says that he has one they can try. When they look at it, one of the other cowboys says it is made in New York city. All the remaining cowboys say "NEW YORK CITY" and then in the background you hear "Get a rope".)
It was the same at the Jack Daniels Invitational. When this "entry" said mayonnaise based barbeque sauce, the heads of all the other "sea of contestants" covering several acres popped out from under or around their booths, stands and cook areas. It was like a field of gophers poppin out of their dens all at once.
There were mumblings all around: "mayonnaise...what...no...how did they...how can something like this happen...". Then the "entry" said to the Food Network announcer; "Here, try it" and handed him a few ribs that were pale white. The announcer, being on camera and trying to be unbaised, took them from him. He had a look like you get when I hand you a piece of chicken and say "Here Alison, try this. It's something new".
So, holding a rib between his thumb and forefinger and leaning over to keep it away from his body, he took a little nibble off the end. He "chewed", smiled and made a little stangling noise that sounded like something between "mmm..." and "uuu...".
When the announcer then turned (handing the white rib to someone off camera) to talk to someone else, there was a big commotion behind him. All you saw was a large number of people descending on the area where the "entry" was. You heard rumblings and the "entry" saying things like;
"So, what's going on 'a'...
What are you doing, 'a'...
Hey, put me down 'a'...
Where are you taking me 'a'...".
When the announcer got done and the camera turned to scan the contestants, the area where the mayonnaise "entry" had been was empty with a few potted plants in his place.
So, when you come home, we are going to have ribs, as requested.
Oh, yes you got the quote right.

Hotdogs, for me, come with chili, mustard, and -GASP- mayonnaise. I feel the need to defend myself here.
