It’s one of the few inane questions that really, for some reason, seems to stir things up. You either reside with one or the other, but never both.
Me, I prefer real Mayo over the imposter. I’ve made my choice. I’ve chose my side. I will fight on the side of mayo probably until death.
Now choose yours…
So Miracle-Whip is like, diet fake Mayo??
When I hear the brand on American TV shows it conjurs images of whipped cream.
Mayo, of course.
Mayo.
I was advised once, many moons ago, that Miracle Whip made and excellent face mask. When I saw what it did on my face, any sort of food appeal it had, evaporated.
(It turned into a solid, rubber like substance - not pretty.)
Miracle Whip is goat-felch in a jar.
I like both, but they do taste totally different to me. I don’t see them as like Mayo and Mayo Lite.
With tuna fish, I like Miracle Whip. Burgers and sandwiches either is fine.
Mustard, dijon mustard, dijonaisse… it’s all good.
No, wait. I meant to say that Miracle Whip is necrotic goat-felch in a jar.
What Scumpup said. It’s mayo all the way for me.
Oh, and just for lobsang the horror and abomination that is Miracle Whip
Hellman’s. Or Best Foods as they call it out here (but it sounds like a namebrand). All other mayonnaise is inferior.
And Miracle Whip is not meant to be eaten.
Hellmans do a diet version of their Mayo* which I would describe as necrotic goat-felch in a jar.
[sub]*It’s very good, except with KFC. I bought a jar for work for whenever they forget to put those little tubs of mayo in. Tried it once. It just wasn’t… right[/sub]
Mayo, preferably Hellman’s.
Never, ever, ever Miracle Whip.
My mom, and her mom, always bought Miracle Whip. So I buy it, too. I only ever put it on bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches and in tuna for sandwiches. If I were going to make potato salad, I’d use it on that, except I haven’t got around to it yet. I can’t think of another use for it. Certainly not in or on Jello or hot dogs, like those freaks in the US midwest!
I tasted actual mayonnaise at some point in my adult life, and it made me gag. I guess it all comes down to what you were raised on.
i always thought that miracle whip was that salad dressing style mayonaisse. i prefer both.
usually mayo for salad (tuna, potato, egg) and miracle whip for sandwiches.
In my house: Miracle Whip, always. It’s all I buy, it’s all I use. On every sandwich, almost every hamburger, in chicken salads, etc. One of the few brands to which I am 100% brand loyal.
But I really can’t tell one bit of difference between mayonaisse and Miracle Whip, and think it’s silly to pretend that there is a significant difference. Of course, now I’m probably going to get dragged into the Pit for making such a statement.
You probably can’t tell the difference between beef and fish, either. 
Miracle Whip is Satan’s sputum; sugar-added salad dressing, not a condiment.
You are incorrect my friend. It is much worse than that. (Need a barf smilie here.)
Once in college, 35 years ago, I bought Miracle Whip in the student center store - them not having anything else. The horror still lingers.
Hellmans all the way - Best Food west of the Rockies.
Depends on what you’re eating.
I like Miracle Whip on chilled asparagus or avocados. It’s also good for liverwurst sandwiches (with mustard). And I like it on sandwiches made with that Buddig sliced pressed beef. Um… That’s all I can think of right now.
Mayonaise on everything else (well, as appropriate anyway). I nearly always have mayo in the house, but only buy small jars of Miracle Whip when I want something specific.
No, it’s Satan’s semen. After it’s gone rancid.
Bleeeecch.
Miracle Whip! All the way. I’d stick around and sing it’s praises, but I have a goat-felch tasting to attend (I mean, if I like Miracle Whip, I’m fond of felching goats, right??) Ta Ta
Only Best Foods Mayonnaise here. None of that “Salad Dressing” stuff for us.
Of course, we all know that mayonnaise should be made from four ingredients and four ingredients only: eggs, oil, lemon juice, and spices. A quick check of the Best Foods label does turn up added sugar for some reason.
So in the interest of healthy eating, we tried some “organic” mayo from the local Co-Op. I never did try it, but **Rhiannon8404 ** assured me that it was disgusting.
I would like to try making my own one of these days, just to see if there’s an appreciable taste difference.
