    I was and still am extremely poor. Honestly I’d rather eat sleep for dinner than this.

    Butter and spaghetti is fine. This is weird and gross haha

    This is upsetting

  6. Illustrious-Bake3878

    No thanks. I prefer my emulsified eggs and pasta to come in the form of carbonara.

    Oof. Finally found one worse than my husbands ranch ramen (no seasoning packets, just ranch on the ramen, cold).
    I just threw up in my mouth twice talking about it and then thinking about yours

  8. hotelrwandasykes

    not that far off from macaroni salad

    That looks awful but also kind of makes sense. You’re hungry, carbs and fat fill that void and this was probably in the cupboard when other supplies had been eaten. We eat weird shit when we’re broke.

    Death by Mayo!

    I love mayo spaghetti, ate it as child whenever I was able to cook for myself, best with melted cheese

  12. Iroh-the-funny-one

    Sounds lovely, i prefer to use sour cream and some extra seasoning but the principle is kinda the same

  13. third-knight

    Throw a little tuna & celery into this and you’d have an amazing meal.

    My mom used to make something I call Sticky Pasta. Usually a short pasta like elbow or rainbow noodles, can of tuna, mayo, maybe some chopped onions and peas. Its become my comfort food for a long time and I’ll just devour bowls of it over the day if not stopped. Can’t reheat it but tastes good immediately after making with warm pasta and cold

    Visually its a contender for this sub but I love it either way

    I was offended by this for a second but then I was like ah I can’t even front because my version of this is ketchup pasta and I still eat it

  17. Jolly-Biscuit

    When I was younger and much poorer, I used to add mayo to my ramen noodles. If you did it just right, it was freaking delicious and very comforting.

    This is a normal thing for Mexicans. My mom used to make us this all the time with some breaded chicken. You can also do it with Mexican cream or half cream/mayo.

  19. Alarming_Sweet9734

    I do this often . It’s really good, spice the heck out of it too. Onion powder, chipotle!

  20. VioEnvy

    Mayo is really a simple thing. Egg. Oil. Lemon.
    It gets a bad rap.

  21. garbagetruc

    I would write your name in the Death Note for that

  22. Munchkin737

    I got weird looks and comments from eating straight up cooked cabbage. Now those internet viral “cabbage boils” are a thing and I’m like ?!??!

  23. breonny

    Two things I love melded into one thing I somehow know I would hate.

    Bravo.

  24. Fireal2

    Hungover rn and thinking about this too hard actually had me dry heave a bit

  25. Dr_Tacopus

    Mayo is egg and oil. Spaghetti with butter (oil) is good. Spaghetti with eggs (carbonara) is good. I see no issue here

  26. tfarr375

    My poor college student meal was spaghetti with butter back in the day.

    Some black pepper if it was in the cupboard, if not I didn’t season it.

  27. JayPlenty24

    Meh. It’s warm pasta salad. I think people are being dramatic about how gross this is.

    Mayo is just eggs and oil.

  28. tomboski

    I did ranch with spaghetti when I was drunk and it was the only thing in the cabin and I still gag thinking about it today

  29. Melanie61200

    Okay now some sauce has got to be the same price as mayo

  30. ImReallyFuckingHigh

    Jesus Christ, fucking Alfredo sauce is the same price, if not cheaper, than mayo

  31. lex_qt314

    Honestly, I don’t get why everyone is so grossed out by this lol. Mayo is just oil and egg; add a little pancetta/ bacon and some romano to this and you basically have a poor man’s carbonara. I would totally eat that if I were a little stoned haha.

  32. SSilent-Cartographer

    Ok, hear me out, add Kewpie Mayo instead of the typical American brands. That this goes *hard* with a little paprika and some ground black pepper

  33. Violent_N0mad

    So we use to do what we called “Greek Pasta” which was just butter and shaker cheese and we;d mix it really well. Fuck I miss carbs.

  34. Illustrious_Yak8637

    My mom makes something like this but she adds half sour cream and some chicken bouillon and sliced ham. We used this as a “side dish” I’m Mexican btw.

  35. Better-Living-6168

    Bro if you like mayo that much just make a pasta salad

  36. Racine262

    Add a chopped up pickle and some onion and you’ve got a salad.

  37. Gray_blanqet

    I like cream cheese spaghetti, which looks exactly like this. But we’re talking about mayo spaghetti, which sounds low-key horrendous but I have this morbid curiosity to try some.

  38. sunseeker_miqo

    This is horrifying, and I say that as someone who loves mayonnaise….

  39. shadowtheimpure

    All it needs is some herbs and spices, and you’ve got a pasta salad.
