Who Woulda Thunk It? Heinz Mayochup Is Officially Coming to the USA

________________________

Give yourself an extra pat on the back… thanks to you, there’s a new symbol of America joining the ranks of apple pie, the bald eagle, and red, white, and blue Chubbies, and its name (for now) is Mayochup. After igniting an internet war last week, Heinz left the decision to bring its new condiment hybrid stateside in our hands. After almost a million votes, the country decided that mayonnaise and ketchup, in fact, do belong in the same bottle. However, the one thing more controversial about the sauce itself is what its name should actually be. It seems like Heinz can’t decide either, so for now, the brand is asking us to exercise our internet voices once again to come up with something better.

Editor:

Heinz sells this all over the world…. actually, the USA is Tail-End Charlie as far as this prepared condiment is concerned. If you’re of “a certain age”, you remember “two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onion, on a sesame-seed bun”. The special sauce was nothing more than ketchup and mayonnaise mashed together… mayochup. You’ve had it before thousands of times on fast-food burgers. Now, all you lazy fuckers won’t have to mix it up yourselves. Of course, if you want it spicy, well, you’ll have to mix your own hot sauce…

2011 Makfa Lenten Food Contest: Salat Kotik (Kitty Salad)

______________________________

Lenten dishes don’t have to be boring and unappetizing. Makfa has products that’ll help make your meatless table healthy, nutritious, varied, and tasty. For this recipe, you’ll need:

• 200 grammes (7 ounces) pasta
• 1 carrot, peeled and grated
• 1 sweet yellow pepper, thinly-sliced
• 1 onion, thinly-sliced
• 1 can tuna packed in oil, undrained
• 7 ounce can mushrooms, drained, slightly sautéed in 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2/3 cup mayonnaise
• 2 pinches salt
• sliced pitted olives
• 1 bunch fresh parsley

PREPARATION

Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Parboil the carrot, onion, and pepper; take them out of the water after about a minute or so after the water returns to the boil. Then, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook it until its al dente, according to the package directions. Whilst the pasta cooks, mix the onion, mushrooms, and tuna fish together well. Drain the pasta well, shock it with cold running water, but leave it slightly wet. Mix the pasta with half of the mayonnaise. Put half the dressed pasta in a serving dish and spread it out evenly. Strew half the pepper and carrot over the salad, covering it evenly. Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the first pasta layer. Strew over the remaining pepper and carrot (reserve a small piece of carrot for the top decoration), spreading it evenly. Place the remaining half of the dressed pasta over the tuna mixture, making sure that it covers it completely. Spread the remaining mayonnaise over the pasta, but do NOT mix it into the salad. Make an outline of a cat with the olives; use a piece of carrot for its tongue. Strew over parsley as a garnish.

The method for this is similar to that used for the more-famous Selyodka pod Shuboi (Herring under an Overcoat).

NB:

Makfa is one of the largest pasta makers in Russia, based in Yekaterinburg… this gives you an idea of MODERN Russian home cooking. Besides that, it tells you that keeping of the Lent isn’t just for monastics any more. Although, of course, most lay people don’t follow the whole-banana monastic rule, nor should they.
