i cannot personally vouch for this recipe (given to me by one of my aunts during a discussion of the food blog with various extended family members), as i have never actually tried it, and probably never will. my love of mayonnaise runs pretty deep, but i think i'd eat a tuna fish/olives and lime jello salad before i'd make this dessert

HOLY SHIT THAT IS REALLY REAL. Where did you get that picture of it? If you didn't try it yourself I'm assuming that means the pictures is from the public domain which means people actually eat this. I'm not sure if this will incite disagreement, but I feel that this dessert could safely be called "purely American". Maybe we should make it a project of this blog to develop a corpus of those foods that take it beyond cultural bastaridzation, all the way to True American.
the picture was found at the top of page three during my google image search for "pears mayonnaise," and is from a restaurant review for a diner in greenwood MS. sadly, upon second inspection of the source site it seems that the dish in this picture was actually served as a side dish, and without the mayonnaise which i had assumed to be hiding under the generous sprinkling of cheese. it should be noted, however, that the lack of mayonnaise was the result of the customers request, not restaurant protocol, and i promise you that some form of mayonnaise or mayonnaise like product are key ingredients in both the crystal grill's and my aunt's grandmother's recipes. thus i think we can safely say that "people" actually eat this. how many is of course a more difficult question to answer, but there seem to have been at least two, ranging geographically from the deep south to portland.
I wouldn't eat either of those foods for any less than 50 fucking dollars.
i would probably eat the dessert if it used actual mayonaise instead of miracle whip. miracle whip makes everything gross.
