Indeed, nothing says Russian food like mayonnaise, where literally everything that doesn't have sugar as its main ingredient is subject to mayonnaisification. It transcends the role of condiment, often acting as the main flavor in Russian concoctions. Here at the eXile, we decided to explore Russia's obsession with mayonnaise, by going to the heart of the machine: a mayonnaise factory in Moscow.

Alright people, let me alert you to an oft ignored mayonnaise fact: Mayonnaise is not a part of Russian cuisine. It is not a part of Japanese cuisine. I don't know where it came from, but I'm betting an evil plot from the same people who brought us Opium the in-home movie maker, Crack the cheap joy and Heroin the diet of super models. These fiends have finally developed the sneaky white lady that will make her way irreversibly into all our lives, mayonnaise. Remember just say no to mayo.
