 From Woman's World, June, 1934, p. 13.

Magic Mayonnaise
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup oil
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
Few grains cayenne

Place ingredients in a pint jar in order given. Fasten top of jar tightly and shake vigorously for one or two minutes. If a heavier consistency is desired place jar in refrigerator to chill before using.

There is worse to come.

Mineral Oil Dressing

2 egg yolks
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/4 cups mineral oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper or paprika

Beat egg yolks until thick gradually adding lemon juice, then blend in oil carefully -- as dressing thickens, oil may be added more quickly. Season and chill before using.

This dressing is particularly desirable for laxative diets, also for reducing diets as the mineral oil has no nutritional value.

Just, no.

A good thing to eat, then.

The first one isn't mayonnaise, obviously; it is so bizarre I can't begin to imagine what it would be like, or whether I might like it. But it is plausibly food, which the second one is actively trying not to be.

I'm having flashbacks to cooking with my grandmother.

Add some of that glycerine to the mineral oil dressing and you'll never worry about having hairballs again!

What Did Mayonnaise Ever Do to Them?

[executrix]

I was going to ask what they had against mayonnaise, but then I remembered that Perfection Salad explains that mayonnaise had iconic status in making things look adequately pure to not look like gross food that might lead to forbidden sensuality.

I am stupendously confused about the mayonnaise with condensed milk. What on EARTH were they gonna put that on? The mineral oil dressing is just disgusting. Did no one have tastebuds?

[sabotabby]

I am really enjoying these disgusting recipes.

Oh god. That's not how you make mayonnaise.2nd recipe is closer, but, ugh. It's generally a good idea to not give your guests the shits.
