Obama didn’t order mayo on his corned beef sandwich

Oh, mayo. What is it about this spread that makes it so maligned amongst Jews? I'm pretty sure this ground has been covered by writers far better than myself (in fact, I recall doing the research on Jewish anti-mayoism after getting a query about it from a j. reader), so I won't try to explain. All I know is, ordering mayo on your corned beef sandwich in a Jewish deli is about as verboten as a kegger in an ashram.

So it was with great sadness that I read that President Obama ordered a corned beef sandwich with mayo in a Miami deli. In his Save the Deli blog, deli historian David Sax called the gustatory gaffe the "cardinal sin of all American politicians."

Luckily, someone in the White House was able to set the record straight with Sax - he won't say who, although word has it he's friends with Obama's Jewish adviser, David Axelrod. As it turns out, the commander in chief did the right thing and ordered corned beef with mustard (hopefully on rye) for himself. The mayo-eater was Rep. Kendrick Meek, a Florida Democrat who is running for the Senate seat of retiring Republican Mel Martinez. However, Obama ordered both sandwiches because he was paying, and that's where the confusion came in.

Oy vay! Mr. Meek, I wish you all the best in your campaign. But if you're going to run for Senate in Florida, say it with me: Corned beef on rye with mustard. Corned beef on rye with mustard. Corned beef on rye with mustard. Live it, love it.
