What is hootie?

What the hell is egg hootie?

Jells2dot0 · July 2014

I have never had mayo. I don't like eggs, so I can't imagine I'd like mayo.

JoanE2012 · July 2014

I HATE mayo on sandwiches. As part of a salad (potato, macaroni) and it' totally fine. Not sure why!

wandajune6 · July 2014

Mayo is disgusting. Texture, flavor, etc. Homemade aioli in restaurants are occasionally forgiven but only if they have a lot of additional added flavors. I've made it myself a few times and still hate.

FI and FSS love it. FI won't eat a sandwich without it. This is a problem because FSS has proven to have no self control around the stuff. He can go through jars per week if not watched like a hawk.

I only like Mayo in small doses. But yes to the parmesan crusted chicken! Makes it so delicious.

In Germany, they dip fries into mayonnaise like we do with ketchup. Just gross to me. Blech.

BreMR · July 2014

I would also like to know what hootie is?! I also HATE mayo or miracle whip! I once got mayo on a whopper jr. from burger king and it was all over the wrapper and didn't realize it until my hand was covered in it... I actually started shaking and freaking out in horror that I was touching mayo. I've gotten a bit better, but I definitely can't eat it. It's the smell and the thick texture.. it ain't right!

The hootie is the little stringy blobby chewy thing inside the egg. Aaaaargh! At one time, in the kitchen gadget section, you could buy a weird little fork/rake called a hootie rake, for easy removal of said offensive object. I haven't seen one for over 20 years. But the fact that they existed makes me feel a little less neurotic. Because it tells me other people were freaked out enough to need them removed.

(I have always wondered which prehistoric person saw something squeezed out of a bird's ass, broke it open, looked at the slime, and said, yeah! Looks good.)

HA! I still have no clue what that is, I even tried googling it..but nothing comes up! I feel like I might know what you're talking about because I just made eggs this morning and there was a little white piece of something in one of my eggs, but not all of them..I don't think it is anything though?? Is it?? The eggs are obviously not fertilized... so it cant be anything creepy, right?

And the googles oblige. How strange. I've noticed the strangeness of which you speak but it never struck me as being any more gross than any other part of a raw egg.

That's so funny, Lolo. It freaks me out so much that I can't believe other people never notice. Great obscure article. I had no idea there were so many other names for the hootie.

buttercup1958 · July 2014

I love mayo on my sandwiches/burgers. I don't like it by itself though. Also I feel like there are differences between the different brands of mayo too.

jenna8984 · July 2014

Ok I absolutely love mayo. But I'm not a texture person, I will eat anything that most people don't like the texture of (like raw oysters). I also like undercooked eggs. But Miracle Whip? Oh hell no, that stuff is just gross tasting.

OP, when I was little I used to eat my hot dogs bunless and dipped in mayo. No wonder I have high cholesterol....lol

mrsmorales2be · July 2014

I'm sorry - egg hootie cracks me up! I don't know why.

YESSS I know what that is. And I always remove it. It's scary.

Simky906 · July 2014

I will join the mayo lovers club! I have texture issues with a lot of jiggly things (Jello is of the devil and those old Bill Cosby Jello commercials gave me nightmares!) but not mayo. I particularly enjoy eating it on hot dogs because that grosses FI out.

RebeccaB88 · July 2014

I LOVE MAYO!!! Food of the Gods! But it has to be Hellmann's or Duke's. Nothing else is the same. Spicy french fries (well, any french fries) dipped in mayo...omg, love. When I used to eat Chick Fil A I got handfuls of mayo packets (theirs is good too) and had them with the waffle fries and chicken. I get weird looks in restaurants when I ask for mayo for my fries. Ketchup is very meh. Mayo wins. I only eat Miracle Whip in my mom's family chicken salad recipe, because that's the way it has to be. In any other way it's gross.

I can't stand straight mustard. It's of the devil. Now, mixed with mayo or in a recipe, it's fine. But straight up on a sandwich is vile. I will send a sandwich back before I will just wipe it off. It's that bad.

And I love eggs, but they have to be cooked. No dippy eggs or poached eggs. Those are raw eggs and they're vile. Cooked egg yolks straight up are gross, but deviled eggs and scrambled, and yolks in a recipe with other stuff are fine. Just can't tolerate the texture of a straight up cooked yolk. I generally buy cartons of egg whites for eating.

lovesclimbing · July 2014

I really like eggs and have never noticed the hootie. I mean, I see it of course when I crack it, but I can't taste it or feel it or even know it's there once the egg is cooked or beaten into a recipe.

cupcait927 · July 2014

Love mayo. It's a necessary addition to most sandwiches and mac salad. FI however has a love for mayo unparalleled to most. I've caught him on more than one occasion eating it by the spoonful, straight out of the jar. He will mix it with eggs, or pasta or on top of a green salad. That makes me heave.

On a SPOON?! That may be the most disgusting thing I've ever heard.

lc07 · July 2014

If I fry eggs and miss removing the hootie, I have to remove it before I eat it. And throw it away wrapped up in something because I can't even put it on the side of my plate and look at it.

huskypuppy14 · July 2014

I like mayo in small doses. A little on a sandwich, or in tuna salad or macaroni salad. But it can't be covered in mayo, that's disgusting.

I absolutely hate mustard. I will send food back if it has it on it. I can't even look at it, it's that bad. My husband thinks I'm crazy. There could be a pile of money, but if it was covered in mustard, I wouldn't touch it.

afox007 · July 2014

I can be added to the knotties who love mayo club. I usually end up slathering it on my sandwiches and hotdogs.

I would also like an application to be a sister daughter for ohannabelle. You can plan my whole wedding if you'd like, mostly because I covet your lace collection.

KytchynWitche · July 2014

I'm a mayo fan, but I find myself using it more as a base for things (like my "home made" honey mustard sauce, sweet chilli dip, seafood sauce) than by itself these days. Although fries with mayo is godly. The Belgians know what they're doing there.

It's one of the few things I don't have a texture issue with. I love tomato sauce. Mustards I like if they're not to spicy, and as long as they don't have bits in them. I HATE grainy mustard. Hate it. If I could shoot lasers out of my eyes, I would incinerate every jar I saw of the stuff. I let my wannabe-foodie-self down with that. Not a fan of barbecue sauce (at least the ones we get here, I know it's not the proper stuff) or relish.

larrygaga · July 2014

I f***ing HATE MAYO

Bleh

arrippa · July 2014

I hate both mayo and eggs. All the egg talk is making me nauseated.

His eating habits are disgusting. I've watched him drop pretzel pieces into sour cream and eat that by the spoonful. All of his food gets mixed together. I've been known to tell him that he can't eat certain food combos in front of me or I will get nauseous. He says it all tastes great to him.

FI's son does the same. It's against house rules (so unhealthy and he's seriously overweight) but he does it when he thinks no one is watching. I've also seen him squeeze the fast food packs into his mouth. *shudder*

emmaaa · July 2014

I love mayonnaise. But it has to be the real stuff. None of that Miracle Whip crap. I am a mayonnaise snob. I only like Duke's (I like to make it seem better because I eat the "light" kind) and all other impersonators can just stop.

Now I WILL eat peanut butter off a spoon. Or Nutella. Or Sander's hot fudge. But mayo... blech.
