I have sympathy for this one. I can somewhat see how someone that didn’t know better would think mayo would work as a substitute for cream, and they’re recognising that the problem was down to their substitution rather than getting mad at the recipe author over it
I mean, I guess I could have had some sympathy, maybe just a little, until the “maybe mention that next time” quip. Like, no, amazingly enough, this is a recipe, I shouldn’t have to explicitly remind you that you can’t just substitute whatever random bullshit you have in your fridge just because it’s the same color as the ingredient I told you about. That is not my problem, and I will absolutely not mention it next time or any time after that.
Oh shit I actually misread that “maybe mention that next time” part. I thought it just said “maybe next time”, as in they’ll try again another time. That changes the tone substantially
I can see mentioning it. Only because I think saying not to do it will cause it to happen far more than leaving it to every person who thinks cream and mayo are interchangeable to their own devices will
The two things are nothing alike in taste or texture, and really not even particularly close in color. Why would anyone think they could be substituted? Sour cream to either one of them I could maybe see an argument for
I misread it

The Bob Mortimer gambit:“if they say ‘dont do it’ it means, someone has tried it. So it must work”
