Yeah, one version I guess.
I checked and a bunch of UK recipes have sriracha mayonnaise. (BBC, tesco, telegraph) a Vietnamese woman in the States has mayonnaise with Maggi in a cookbook I have.
Another:
"When I'm exploring Vietnam, a thousand street snacks beckon, but I inevitably seek out banh mi, the ubiquitous Franco-Viet sandwich. I order the dac biet, "the special." The vendor slashes open a crisp baguette, moistens it with mayonnaise and soy sauce..."

As I said, maybe a Western thing but seriously try it. Lifts it all.

Crisp cilantro?
Cilantro is coriander, which is not crisp.

No mention of it here, but Banh Mi is just the baguette so a sandwich is a sandwich and open to interpretation
Originating on the streets of Saigon, the Banh Mi sandwich is a French-Vietnamese hybrid consisting of an airy baguette, sour pickled daikon and carrot, crisp cilantro, spicy chilis, and a cool sliver of cucumber surrounding any number of protein options, from sweet minced pork to fatty pate to sardines

It definitely not just a Canadian thing on a bahn mi, could be a Western thing.
But I see in the general description of a banh mi that it can include French ingredients like the baguette, pate, and mayonnaise with chilli.
But whether it is "authentic" or not, it is the best way to have it, for me. Recommend it, you are missing out.

That Nandos perinase mayo or whatever its called is surprisingly good.
Best thing to have on chips is PEPPERCORN SAUCE

The sriracha mayo?
Don't think so, I see it sold already mixed here.

It is Asian/French fusion, so always made sense to me.

If I wanted something sweet on a burger, it maybe would be carmelised onions, sometimes. A patty melt can be pretty greet.
Ketchup with all that sugar - not for me and I love tomato generally.
I agree about salt and vinegar on chips or Louisiana hot sauce, depends on what they are with.
In parts of the States they have something they call fry sauce which is mayonnaise and ketchup mixed. Not my thing either.
Though sriracha mayonnaise is a must on a banh mi

Burger sauce is the best thing to come from mayonnaise

Used to work for a Belgian firm, fraser. Spent a lot of time there and worked my way through many beer menus. Some quality beers, I agree. Still don’t get the mayonnaise thing though.

Prancer, I don’t think I ever said I was in the majority on this one. I realise I’m not, but I’m not sure why that matters anyway. Just an opinion, but I do remember now that other people’s opinions upset you.

The only thing I think ketchup enhances is a burger, that’s about it.
Chips? Fuck off. Salt and vinegar for me. And as for twats who dip them in mayonnaise, they should be exiled to Belgium and never let back into the country.

I’m anything but a food snob, trust me, but I just love bacon. Can’t understand why you’d stick a shit red sauce all over it. Clearly this is upsetting for some, and I do apologise to those sensitive types.
