My friend's grandmother actually invented ranch dressing. Sold the recipe to Best Foods or one of those big companies for a royalty. Needless to say, no one in that family needs to work.
Thats real cool. I've only really heard about people who've invented things, and then got shafted. There was a dude on the Tv the other day who invented/designed ATM's (no not teh porn atm), he also designed the keypad interface, setting up the numbers in rows of 3, with the 0 at the bottom. Noone had ever done this before, now its everywhere. But because he was just an employee, and not freelance, he got nothing apart from his normal wage, from all this.
Anyway, back to mayo.
Have you ever seen it when it's a day old, after sitting out over night? The shit goes opaque! I love it, but I dont trust it.
Although this is completely counter-intuitive, major brands of store-bought mayo can be stored at room temperature, according to U.S. health codes. Unlike cut melons, which cannot.
I am pretty much down with all of the above on fries. Fries are extremely flexible. I mean they are just salt and potato - most things will work fine with them.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is Caeser Salad dressing.

Where my Nando's heads at? Who can ride for the Peri Peri Mayo??
I'm veggie, so I give the chicken the swerve at Nando's, but that Peri-Peri mayo is good stuff.

curry and chips
Mary J was over here doing promo for her latest album last week, and the husband of a friend of mine interviewed her. Apparently, she loves the chicken katsu curry from Wagamama, but hommie asked her if she knew about chip shop curry sauce. She said she didn't, so she sent one of her boys out to get some. Turns out she loved it, and now she wants to figure out if she can get it in the US.

For some reason this story warms my heart. She's Mary J though, surely she can just get it shipped over and served on silver platters as any real diva worth their salt would do. Having said that, most chip shop curry sauces I've had could be replicated by buying a microwave tikka meal from somewhere like Nettos and throwing away the "meat" pieces.
yeah and that would make a high quality curry sauce. it seems to be one of those things that has an inverse proportionality to the state of the container/cooking vessel. generally ive found that the dodgy scummy chippies have the best sauce.

royalties? Like she (or the family) gets money for each sale? or each recipe that comes out? That's nuts. I figured it would just be a big buyout.
