Disclaimer: Please, for your sake and the sake of your loved ones, do not attempt to prepare this dish at home, or anywhere else for that matter. At the very least, do not serve it to anyone you care about. On the other hand, if you happen to be in need of punishment for your enemies' despicable crimes against your family, then this might do the trick. I don't have access to the equipment necessary to determine nutritional value of foodstuffs, but if I did, I think this dish would break the machine. However, if you do decide to try it, please let me know how the mayonnaise reacts to a high temperature oven. Nice and firm, or a sloppy mess?

Do you have a vegetarian version?

No vegetarian version. That would be disgusting.
