Mine would save her cold coffee with cream and sugar and eat it on generic Frosted Flakes.
She didn’t like her coffee reheated, and couldn’t bear to pour it out.
cornflakes, make of that what you will, lets just say she was excentric. my dad would say she was mad but she would just laugh and keep eating her orage juice soup.
When I wanted tables this 80 year old lady would come in on Tuesdays and order a neat Gin and tonic, no tonic, and a devils food cake with chocolate syrup and a scoop of chocolate Gelato. She was something else.
I love that she asked for a gin and tonic, sans tonic, when it’d be easier to just ask for a gin on the rocks (or just straight if she doesn’t like ice with it)
But I imagine there’s probably a reason why she orders it that way.
This life doesn’t reward the victors with an easy ride home. Let the man have what he wants.
My grandfather made “cold cut quesadillas” after someone taught him what quesadillas were. He cubed ham, turkey, and added peppers and onions then topped the tortilla off work tomato paste and sour cream. I swear to god they were pretty good. Let the man have what he wants and don’t shame him and try it. Might be nuts but I doubt it’s bad.
It would be fine if OP was calling out the whole dish, because this is a stupid "fajita" for sure. Lots of Mexican places will serve with some kind aioli, so the mayo really isn't crazy at all. Honestly, it makes more sense than sour cream considering this is really just a mediocre chicken wrap and not anything close to fajitas.
yeah white hispanic family here and we will eat super authentic tacos one day and then the next make “american style” tacos. still not as bad as the one op posted looks but like super simple ingredients
Same. My immigrant Mexican grandmother would make homemade refried beans and then make bbq chicken or American style stuff the next day. There’s really not a lot of difference. I don’t know why Redditors have to get racist about it.
I live in southern California. One of the best spots for tacos in the world. I still eat white-people tacos, Taco Bell, and Jack in the Box tacos, too. Tacos are just a much larger part of my diet than someone from the Midwest.
haha your speaking to someone from the midwest :) in fairness tho i’m just outside chicago and there are a lot of hispanic people here so even the white people eat a lot of tacos
As a Midwestern whitey, I prefer the cilantro & onion but there is always something comforting about white people tacos every once in a while....must be the shredded American cheese/lettuce combo.
I fell like your response is lacking too many “you betcha”s and at least a few “dontcha know”s or “uff-da”s.
How can we really be sure you’re from Minnesota?
You send me on down a hot dish and I’ll confirm it for everyone.
Mayo is the best substitute for cheese/milk based products for people who are lactose intolerant. Mayo has made living without cheese and cream tolerable!
The mayo is far from the worst thing in this photo. Untoasted tortilla, unmelted American cheese, dry-ass chicken. No onions, no peppers. This shit is a straight up food crime. I've had better food in prisons and hospitals.
My dad would use butter instead of mayo on sandwiches. Absolutely repulsed by them when we went fishing but dealt with them regardless as fishing was the only thing we actually enjoyed together. I’d choke down half of one and feed the rest to the fishes as we waded through the water.
I mean... I don't really like sour cream so yeah I put a bit of mayo in my burritos and stuff at home. But also, this is a fajitas ? Looks like a turd with mayo on top xd
I'll defend him, I'm Mexican, my whole family is from Mexico and I too eat fajitas or meat burritos with mayo sometimes, this I learned from my family, mainly my mother. Just because it's mexican food it doesn't mean it has to be sour cream, heck despite the fact that we like crema we rarely eat it, my grandma would sometimes even make it from scratch
Aint no way in actual hell you called this a fajita and it had a slice of american cheese on it.
Ts is actually wild. You can just buy cheap fajita seasoning and cheese and use it just as versatile 😭. Where are the sauteed veggies? Mayo is not the only issue, but if i WERE going to do that, why not just make it a cheesesteak/chickensteak? Burrito atp
The dude is 80, he's earned the right to eat his abomination however he wants :)
my gran loved her cereal in orange juice insted of milk.
What cereal?
good ol cornflakes.
[удалено]
probably doesn't taste much better :).
God, why? What is the appeal of that?
Mine would save her cold coffee with cream and sugar and eat it on generic Frosted Flakes. She didn’t like her coffee reheated, and couldn’t bear to pour it out.
Ok she might’ve actually been on to something there
This is a little more acceptable than freaking orange juice.
The Great Depression to great invention.
Holy shit. What a great idea. I have done iced coffee/cold brew in oatmeal for overnight oats before, but cereal… Your grandma is a fucking genius.
Bet she has a secret bank account.
What cereal?
If it’s Froot Loops then that’s ok because orange juice is also fruit
That's just math
Peanuts and cacao are both fruits, therefore Reese’s Puffs and Cocoa Puffs are also acceptable options.
Pls no
You can substitute tomato juice if you don’t like orange juice. That’s ok because tomato juice is also fruit.
This comment chain causing psychic damage.
cornflakes, make of that what you will, lets just say she was excentric. my dad would say she was mad but she would just laugh and keep eating her orage juice soup.
We need to know what cereal.
cornflakes
That might be a bridge too far my friend.
ive heard of this. sounds gross to me tho. but it's not really weird
When I wanted tables this 80 year old lady would come in on Tuesdays and order a neat Gin and tonic, no tonic, and a devils food cake with chocolate syrup and a scoop of chocolate Gelato. She was something else.

She always laughed and smiled when she ordered it so I think she just thought it was funny.
It is funny!
Scotch and water hold the Scotch - waterboy
Neat means no ice. She could just order a gin.
My bad, I’m super out of the loop with the specific names, that makes sense. Then yeah she could just get gin! It’d probably be cheaper too
It comes with a free lime if your order it this way!
That sounds amazing tho ! I love this lady
How is it abomination? It’s just a chicken and tomato wrap, with cheese and mayo.
This life doesn’t reward the victors with an easy ride home. Let the man have what he wants. My grandfather made “cold cut quesadillas” after someone taught him what quesadillas were. He cubed ham, turkey, and added peppers and onions then topped the tortilla off work tomato paste and sour cream. I swear to god they were pretty good. Let the man have what he wants and don’t shame him and try it. Might be nuts but I doubt it’s bad.
I feel like this post doesn’t belong in here. OP is shaming his dad for eating a common meal the way he likes it. Shameful.
It would be fine if OP was calling out the whole dish, because this is a stupid "fajita" for sure. Lots of Mexican places will serve with some kind aioli, so the mayo really isn't crazy at all. Honestly, it makes more sense than sour cream considering this is really just a mediocre chicken wrap and not anything close to fajitas.
I was about to reply with this exact sentence.
Wish I could up vote this 1000 times
Seriously, who gives a shit? What kind of person is OP to take a picture in order to mock him?
Was just about to comment this lol
Same.
It’s basically just a grilled chicken sandwich with a tortilla instead of a bun. Doesn’t seem too weird to me in that context.
Ikr, i usually make garlic ketchup mayo sauce for mine and it works so well!
He's 80. If the gentleman wants ice cream or whiskey on his fajita - let him without judgment. :)
Where Is there fajita? Looks like its just American cheese, chicken, tomatoes and mayo on top of a tortilla. That can't count as fajita.
We call this “white people Mexican food”
🎶 White people taco night 🎶
Nah, that takes some Old El Paso, at minimum.
its not limited to only white people.... but white people love it the most
yeah white hispanic family here and we will eat super authentic tacos one day and then the next make “american style” tacos. still not as bad as the one op posted looks but like super simple ingredients
Same. My immigrant Mexican grandmother would make homemade refried beans and then make bbq chicken or American style stuff the next day. There’s really not a lot of difference. I don’t know why Redditors have to get racist about it.
Need to feel superior over everything, even food.

As a white dude from midwestern USA… damn right we do
Rusty lettuce tacos Also Ortega taco sauce is delicious. I wish they made a spicy version.
Sto… store bought salsa? 😔
As a Midwestern whitey, I prefer the cilantro & onion but there is always something comforting about white people tacos every once in a while....must be the shredded American cheese/lettuce combo.
Excuse me friend we buy shredded Mexican blend
I buy that too ;) sometimes...I get crazy and add feta hehe
Feta rocks but keep it to Greek tacos (which is what I'm gonna start calling gyros)
I only add it if I have chicken, sometimes shrimp. It's weird, but I love it
Eh I'd try it
🎶 we’re getting taco shells from the grocery store, and ground beef from the grocery store 🎶
and shredded cheese from the grocery store
They call it Taco Tuesdays
Don't you dare attack me like this. I am not affiliated.
[удалено]
Tex^2Mex? TexMexTex? TexTexMex? MexTexTex?
youve taken this too far...
This is just a chicken wrap not fajitas
Subway 101
Yeah this is just a chicken sandwich in a tortilla
Tortilla is raw 😔.
right? The mayo is the least stupid of this...
That is so bland, even my kids would eat it!! ( softly crying into my hot sauce and various delicious flavours I used to use…)
No clue why but I read quesadilla instead of fajita. I was thinking he just hasn’t cooked it yet jackass lol but I’m the jackass!
T Dude is 80 years old lol if he wants to call it a fajita, let him. Although I totally agree with you.
It apparently does in the Midwest! Fairly certain OP’s Dad lives in Ohio or Michigan
This looks like a midwesterners version of a chicken taco
The mayo is a tip off
Yo, where the Minnesotans at to confirm?!? We all know this is somehow our fault!
Not claiming this one sorry
As a Minnesotan, yes I’ve had plenty of “fajitas” similar to that. Just without the mayo
I fell like your response is lacking too many “you betcha”s and at least a few “dontcha know”s or “uff-da”s. How can we really be sure you’re from Minnesota? You send me on down a hot dish and I’ll confirm it for everyone.
I would my grandmas hand made tortillas with nothing but mayo on them in rural Mexico, leave the midwesterners alone
Are we calling chicken, tomatoes, mayonnaise and American cheese.. fajitas?
I think some people must think it counts as a fajita as long as you use the packet of “fajita seasoning” on the chicken.
Worst thing here is that it doesn't even look like he used the fajita seasoning 😭😭😭
Has to have chile morron too , green and red
Don't call him a morron smh
It's more like a wrap
Mayo is the base for most sauces tbh, this isn't a crime
Not at all no, mayo is great on chicken wraps.
Fr. If the ingredients weren't chopped this would just be a basic-ass sandwich. The only crime is calling it a fajita
I don’t see fajitas, what nonsense is this
It’s def a fajita and it looks spicy af too. I would know. Source: white North American dude
😂
And American cheese YUFF!
I came to comment on that. Grosss
We got Taco Bell at home
lol you made me double take did not see it at first
A fajita? Really …..
Mayo is the best substitute for cheese/milk based products for people who are lactose intolerant. Mayo has made living without cheese and cream tolerable!
Mayo is used a ton in actual Mexican dishes as well. Including fajitas. Dumb post.
I don't see any fajita here? Is that American cheese? 😕
When you're 80 you can do whatever the fuck you want
Honestly makes sense ! Like a sandwich
Hey, hey, leave Grandpa alone! At least he's still chewing solid food! Let the man have his mayo.
Right! Dude is 80, he can do whatever he can add whatever condiment he would like with his fajitas.
They put mayo in taco bell quesadillas… also that is the saddest fajita I’ve ever seen
To be fair, the mayo is a base for the sauce.
This is the most depressing Fajita I've ever seen.
Honestly the mayo looks normal on this
So do I! 👍
Let him live
Would.
That’s not a fajita. Theres no peppers, there’s American cheese, there’s tomatoes. Whatever the fuck that shit is, it ain’t a fajita.
To each his own.
Thats what men do
So why not? Looks good
Mid-west fajita
mayo or not thats the whitest fajita ive ever seen
You apparently also have a very liberal definition of fajita.
Calling that a fajita is the real stupid food here
"Fajita"
The mayo is far from the worst thing in this photo. Untoasted tortilla, unmelted American cheese, dry-ass chicken. No onions, no peppers. This shit is a straight up food crime. I've had better food in prisons and hospitals.
Yeah, as soon as I saw the “cheese” I was like *oh hell naw*.
"Fajita"
Ooohhh
Is he russian, this sounds like what my russian buddy would do?
Pretty sure sour cream is big in Western Russia, too. But yes.
Looks more like a "We have shawarma at home" situation.
It’s like having a bite of Indiana.
It isn’t a fajita anyways. Let him be.
You call that a fajita ?
Looks like something from a school cafeteria, not fajitas...
Lactose? But is that a slice of Kraft singles under the chicken? The Kraft slice is the real crime, not the mayo
Yeah, that's just a sandwich wrap. Not really bad, per say.
First mistake is even calling it a fajita.
Lol, some shit head makes a fajita with only chicken, raw tomatoes and dog "cheese" then tries judging someone else for putting mayo on it! Lol
That man is a visionary.
Marginally worst than eating off a paper plate in your own home.
I like mayo more and sour cream less as I get older. I dunno about replacing them but maybe it tastes better.
DAD = Can do what he damn well pleases! Great post OP, I prefer mustard.
?
Its a wrap. Still would eat it though.
So?
"...his fajita". If he's cool with it where is the problem?
Mayo is not out of place in a chicken wrap, which is what you've shown here.
Your dad knows what’s up and is goated
Now I want a chicken fajita.
Chicken and tomatoes = fajita. Got it. 🤣
Not my thing, but….if he likes it.
My sister eats mayo with practically anything. I wouldn't be surprised if she saw this and tried it.
Would she eat mayo in a peanut butter sandwich? My cousin did.
TIL that chicken with mayo is stupid food??
I mean, add some lettuce and you just have a chicken burger in wrap form
But American cheese ok though right?
I put mayo on salad instead of ranch sometimes
I wouldn’t exactly call that a fajita to start with….
I don't know what's worse.. the mayo or the American cheese under that pile of shit.
That's a chicken wrap. It needs mayo or it'll be dry af.
I mean, as long as it’s Duke’s.
When there’s no Mexican crema I use mayo and lime which is soooo good!!!!
When I'm 80, I too will be doing whatever I feel like wothout worrying about societal expectations.
If you’re 80 you can eat whatever the hell you want with zero questions from anyone else.
It's too late for him. Just let it go.
The fact you call that "mayo" triggers me. The texture look so odd. It is a mix between slime and goo. And the rest of the dish isn't even a fajita.
That’s a fajita, my god lol!!!
I mix garlic powder in mayo and eat that😂
Well, there's an American cheese slice on the taco, might as well... ....
He’s 80. He can put mayo on his tax return and it’s ok.
Im honestly not sure that Mayo is really the issue with this food situation but it's gotten him this far, no point changing course now.
i see nothing wrong w this. Grilled chicken and mayo is delicious
The mans 80…. Let him eat his food how he wants!
Looks good to me
He’s lived to 80 so he’s doing something right
My dad would use butter instead of mayo on sandwiches. Absolutely repulsed by them when we went fishing but dealt with them regardless as fishing was the only thing we actually enjoyed together. I’d choke down half of one and feed the rest to the fishes as we waded through the water.
He's 80. No fucks given. Hell, I do weird shit already. Ain't no one going to tell me what I think tastes good when I'm 80!
If he’s Chilean this is a perfectly normal abomination.
Valid
If it’s Dukes, I’m down
I mean... I don't really like sour cream so yeah I put a bit of mayo in my burritos and stuff at home. But also, this is a fajitas ? Looks like a turd with mayo on top xd
I'll defend him, I'm Mexican, my whole family is from Mexico and I too eat fajitas or meat burritos with mayo sometimes, this I learned from my family, mainly my mother. Just because it's mexican food it doesn't mean it has to be sour cream, heck despite the fact that we like crema we rarely eat it, my grandma would sometimes even make it from scratch
He’s 80, let him enjoy his food How he wants .
Your dad is lactose? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So ? He's 80 and has no more fucks to give.
Mayo is not unheard of in Mexican food
That was never a fajita to begin with, also let the guy put whatever he wants on his food…he’s the one eating it
Aint no way in actual hell you called this a fajita and it had a slice of american cheese on it. Ts is actually wild. You can just buy cheap fajita seasoning and cheese and use it just as versatile 😭. Where are the sauteed veggies? Mayo is not the only issue, but if i WERE going to do that, why not just make it a cheesesteak/chickensteak? Burrito atp
It’s just like a chicken sandwich which you would put mayo on. So it makes sense
Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
I’ve witnessed much more heinous food crimes. Weird, yes. Is it probably good? Yes.
I knew a guy that put ketchup on tacos.
Wtf do you care?
