In the summer months one of the greatest treats of all is real, proper home-made mayonnaise; a thick mass of unctuous golden ointment, perfect for dipping asparagus into, or slices of raw vegetables (crudités).

Delia Smith. If the Blessed Delia says it’s OK to serve asparagus with mayonnaise, then it’s fine with me. Incredibly, there are comments under this video of mine that suggest it is not a good combination. (via stever-)

Capucha : I confirm that asparagus are perfect with mayonnaise, and this is one of the most common ways to eat them in France. Of course, home made mayonnaise has nothing to do with mayo in a jar.

When I have time I’ll make a “how to” video for homemade mayonnaise.

Also, asparagus are delicious with “mousseline” sauce. You can obtain it very simply by adding a whipped egg white to the mayonnaise.
