Thanks! And voted!

– and un-voted in the other poll.

This, I can agree with but in summer, even a grilled cheese (which I love) cannot touch a good BLT with quality ingredients.

A note on the polling in general. I suffer from episodic depression and right now, my bout is so bad that I can’t even vote in most of these polls because my brain is chasing its tail like a squirrel or dog. I’ll get back to it later.

Right now, I can only find Dukes on Amazon or go for a helluva drive. I do just fine with Trader Joe’s organic mayo.

I think, “Hey! That’s Willona from Good Times!” It’s not, but that’s what I thought when I saw her.

We’d heard this, too, and ordered some Duke’s online. It was good, but Best Foods (Hellmans) is slightly better.

I use Duke’s and prefer it to Hellman’s.

We would do that with open faced grilled (i.e. under the broiler) cheese sandwiches. Yum.

De gustibus. But the difference was so slight, I wouldn’t refuse Duke’s.

I want multiple choice on the ‘Maya’ poll. I like Rudolph and Lin almost equally.

Interesting. So far, 1 out of every 4 men would like to have been a woman, while only 1 out of every 9 women would have liked to have been a man. Not the ratio one might expect.

Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise.

(I don’t have a mayo preference, but I definitely have a preference between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip.)

I too would like either mayo or either Maya.

When I was a kid my mom always bought Miracle Whip. So I grew up thinking I didn’t like mayo, because back then I didn’t realize there was a difference. At some point as an adult I started to realize I actually do like mayo. And then it finally clicked – actually, I just don’t like Miracle Whip. I mean, it is possible my tastes just changed as I grew up, but I still don’t like Miracle Whip.

Wikipedia calls Miracle Whip a “mayonnaise substitute.” Looks to me like it’s basically mayonnaise with corn syrup and a little mustard and garlic added.

I doubt if I’d be able to tell it apart from regular mayo in a blind taste test.

Miracle whip has some acid, so it tastes very different from mayonnaise. I don’t love either, and if there’s too much mayo I’ll either scrape most of it off or take a pass on the food item. But i like miracle whip as much as mayo.

Maya, Aztec, Inca, Olmec. Not exactly lighthearted when you realize all of these were despotic empires. I went with Olmec, just because it’s the only one that cannot conclusively be proven to have practiced human sacrifice.

I looked for but could not find the words “mayonnaise substitute” on Wikipedia, though I did find " a less expensive alternative to mayonnaise."

So did I. But, I strongly suspect it’s the same as the others.

I bumped the wrong button in the poll. Now I’m stuck with my answer.

Actually, if you click “show vote” you can go back and change your vote.
