Duke’s is the only permissible mayo in the South. I have made my own and it was indeed very good, but it wasn’t “mayo” to me, you know? (I also use Miracle Whip but don’t consider it “mayo”.)
Hellman’s. Their light mayo is pretty good.
Asking for mayonnaise and getting Miracle Whip is like asking for a glass of apple cider and getting a glass of apple cider vinegar.
I prefer Vegenaise; specifically I like the low fat version. No eggs, no cholesterol and low sodium to boot! It tastes good, too; complimenting food without overpowering it.
Peruvian “A la cena” brand is best for our taste, it has a bit of mustard.
I think if you mix mayo and mustard, you get Miracle Whip?
Best Foods.
Never heard of Hellmann’s before, but I’ll be damned, the label on my jar of Best Foods says it is known as Hellmann’s east of the Rockies.
(BTW, 2 n’s in Hellmann’s)
Far, far from it. If I needed to make fake Miracle Whip, I’d take some mayonnaise and add sugar and vinegar, and then water it down. And then throw it out.
Naw, it’s like asking for apple cider and getting punched in the face.
Heh. I have no problem with mayonnaise, but I can’t stand Miracle Whip. Sorry, OP. It’s way too sweet, IMO.
Duke’s is what I have in the fridge right now, but I’ve never done a taste test of different brands; I tend to buy what’s cheapest when I need to replenish the supply. We don’t eat that much mayo anyway; a jar can last more than a year.
IMO Miracle Whip has its uses. I like it on avocados. (But that’s about it.) I know a lot of people hate it. And a lot of people don’t like mayo. I was just hoping to avoid ‘[Mayonnaise][Miracle Whip] is evil’ posts.
I’ve never heard of Duke’s. I’m going to have a look next time I go to the store to see what mayo they do offer, aside from Best Foods and Kraft.
I also grew up with Miracle Whip, and we called it mayonnaise. At some point, decades ago, I switched to the “real thing,” which lately has been Hellmann’s. I think, when I use up what I’ve got, I’ll start experimenting with home-made. I like the idea of eliminating the sugar, and I’d like to play around with different flavors.
No, you get some product called Dijonnaise which is actually pretty good. My dieting friends are huge fans of it.
I confess that I’ve never been able to differentiate among mayos. MW is a bit different, and I like it just fine, but my wife can’t stand it.
The phrase “homemade mayonnaise” is just a little too off-putting for me. It sounds like some icky euphemism from an amateur porn site.
How so, less fats than mayonnaise?
Mmm, Blue Plate mayonnaise is the best! It’s all we used when I was growing up, and it’s all that I buy now. Nothing else tastes quite right.
:D:D:D
Dukes. It’s just plain, old fashioned, good mayo and as a bonus it’s priced a tad cheaper than the Hellman’s of the world.
We had both mayo and Miracle Whip growing up. I do prefer MW on bologna sandwiches mmm…
Anyhow, Hellman’s is the best hands-down. Not light Hellman’s, yuck!
Altho, in a half-hearted attempt to be somewhat more healthy, I have switched to the version with olive oil. It’s got less fat and less saturated fat. But I see it has more sodium (which is probably why it tastes so good). You can’t win!
Mayo is essential on fries. I prefer “plain” slightly sour mayo on my fries. In salad dressings and sandwitches I prefer mayo made with olive oil. Very very nice and it really adds an extra dimension to the taste.
Never before have seven small, printed words brought me so dangerously close to vomiting.
