Wow

Nope, that is one I’ve never seen before! I’m off to finish watching it, thanks for sharing it OF.

Thanks OF, I’ll check the video out.

Thanks for putting the recipe in this thread FF.

I love the old wartime series of videos that I’ve seen in the past, this might be one I’ve seen before but I don’t remember the Mayo without an egg recipe.

Patrice........here you go.

Yup. I have watched them all and Geek has some of them saved for me.

Farm....there is a whole series....well actually 2. It's really one series, but 2 different people have atleast some of the same videos on their playlist. Each one has little tidbits of info hiding in it, like the mayo

Last night I watched one, though I think it was a completely different channel, but still about the old ways or getting by in tough times...anyway, I had to laugh when they were using some kind of old tool like a belt sander to pluck a chicken. I wish I could remember which one it was so could post it.....but age does have it's limits |em2|

I watched the video. Again... I might say. Love that show!

ok......did you watch that part of the video to get the recipe????? Or did you get that from somewhere else???? |em13|

[b]Egg Free War Time Mayonnaise[/b]

* 1 @ 2 to 3 oz potato boiled or steamed then mashed and pushed through a fine sieve
* 1 teaspoon mustard
* salt and pepper
* 4 - 5 teaspoons vinegar
* 2 tablespoons oil

Mix it well, but not too roughly.

Murph......I just had to try it and really it wasn't too bad at all. I was pleasantly surprised that it did taste like mayo. I just didn't get the right consistency of it being creamy & spreadable, but that was my own fault.

I had a leftover microwaved baked potato in the fridge and since it was too firm & dry I put it in a pan with water to simmer it a bit in the hopes it would soften up and become more moist. It didn't work, but may have if I'd left it a bit longer. So when I tried to mash it thru my poor old strainer, it was difficult to say the least. Then I realized I had to run to the bank before it closed, so I hurried and only did about 1/3 of the potato, added ACV instead of regular distilled vinegar, mustard powder, a bit of oil and salt & pepper and mixed it up. As I said it did taste good and is worth another effort to do it right.

Next time I'll use fresh boiled potato and it should work. |em23|
