Question: when in Bonaire , I see mayo set out on the tables to eat with french fries..I don't understand how this product that contains eggs can be left out in the heat of the day without being harmful to eat...in the states we are drilled with keeping it refrigerated....anybody know ? also eggs are at room temp in the grocery stores not refrigerated.....

Commercial mayonnaise is made with pasteurized eggs, and does not contain salmonella bacteria. Home made mayonnaise contains raw eggs, and unless you get irradiated eggs, they contain salmonella. As does the outside of the shell of an egg, which is why you should always wash after handling eggs and egg trays and preparing food.

Yes Carole, and as we know mayo is part of a healthy balanced diet! :-) I have a couple of staples - salt, mayo and butter - at least one of those three has to be on everything I eat. :-)

According to a toxicology conference I attended, in the US, mayo is made acidic so that it can not support bacteria growth. The problem is what you add to the mayo. Example: eggs, chicken, tuna.

well...that finally answers my question...the ketchup is always out in the heat too, but I never worried about that so much as the mayo..I never really like mayo on my fries anyway, but thanks everybody for the input....mayo on the funchi ????
