mayonnaises
- 1Plural of mayonnaise.
The deli offers a range of flavored mayonnaises, from garlic to chipotle.
Homemade mayonnaises tend to spoil faster than store-bought ones.
Note
A plural that makes sense only once the sauce is counted. Mayonnaise is usually a mass noun, so the plural names kinds, brands or batches: flavored mayonnaises, homemade mayonnaises. It can also count the cold dishes made with the dressing, or the egg-and-oil creams used on skin and hair. The same spelling serves the verb, so a cook who mayonnaises the bread is spreading the dressing on it.
