   It is amazing how blown out of proportion this has become. It's a very 'in"   
   Jewish joke about food, as stated below. And what is "Jewish food" vs what is   
   "Goyishe" food - meaning non-Jewish. All the meats: corned beef, pastrami,   
   tongue are served on rye    
   with mustard,  cole slaw and a pickle. Roast beef and brisket are on rye with   
   Russian dressing. That's just 'the way it is!" IF someone orders it on White   
   Bread (very middle American and very 'not Jewish") and godforbid and with Mayo   
   well... it is a '   
   shandah!" a crime!! And for a lot of Jewish people very funny. The bread and   
   mayo was a sight gag. Don't read anymore into it.

   > It's an old Jewish joke about gentile people eating white bread with   
   mayonnaise. Jews eat brown bread with mustard. I married a non-Jewish guy and   
   my mom came to town to meet them. She called me from the grocery store and   
   said in a hushed,    
   conspiratorial tone, "I'm at the supermarket. Do you want me to get some ham   
   and WonderBread with Mayonnaise?" She wasn't kidding. She was trying to show   
   how open-minded she was.
