kewb Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Miracle Whip is gross. I don't understand what it is. It certainly is not mayo, but it is not like any dressing I like. I feel terrible for saying it because I always tell my kids not to say things like that about someone else's food choice; but, oh, just nasty and gross.

Annie Laurie Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I grew up on Miracle Whip, it was all my mom bought. Just like margarine. Yuck. We only buy canola mayo from Whole Foods or Central Market now, usually Spectrum brand and it tastes so much better than other mayos to me. I know canola is supposed to be oh so bad because most of it is made of GMOs, but I haven't found an alternative yet. Maybe olive oil mayo. But we're not huge mayo fans anyway, we eat it with very few things. We prefer a nice dijon mustard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I can't believe it! I thought I knew you all so well. :001_huh: Miracle Whip baby, mayo is not allowed in my house...unless is comes on the take out food we sometimes order. We're willing to overlook that...from the bridge of our upturned judgmental noses. :tongue_smilie: I brought home mayo once. My dh threw it out in a fit of rage, stating that kind of dressing was not allowed in our house, not if we wanted to stay married. We were a family that believed in Miracle Whip only. . .....(just kidding, but it's Friday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Sorry to all the MW lovers but ewwww...Miracle Whip is like a sweet/sour mayo. Just never liked it. East coaster enjoying her vino :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWOB Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 It took me a good 7 years to convince my Kansas-born dh that Miracle Whip is the food of Satan. Real mayo for me! Funny aside: I grew up in Louisiana and am now living in Nebrasa. A lady at church called and asked me to make a salad for a funeral. I responded "A green salad?" No response. "Oh, you mean potato salad?" "Yep." Apparently Midwestern salads, especially Lutheran salads, require mayo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Katia Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I love Miracle Whip because it's what I was served while growing up. So I voted for MW. But. I don't eat it. It's full of HFCS and I don't eat that. Basically, I don't eat anything with mayo at all anymore, but when I do, I use Mayo now. Ellie gave me a recipe for homemade and it is wonderful! I eat that all the time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwenhwyfar Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 ok i'm gonna have to go buy some of both and actually compare them to each other at the same time because we buy whatever happens to be on sale and i seriously can't think of a taste difference right now...

Dawn in OH Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Not just mayo. Hellman's only. Full fat. The original. I do most things homemade. It's a lot of work. I can live with the ingredients list on Hellman's for now. It's pretty basic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denisemomof4 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Miracle Whip tastes like candy. We like mayo. I do use MW for one macaroni salad I make, but the last time I made it, kids said it was too sweet.:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsbaby Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 My mom only bought Miracle Whip when we were growing up and I thought it was mayo. So, I always thought I hated mayo.

Ellyndria Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Mayo. Hellmann's mayo, which I think is the same as Best Foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraGB Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Ick - they're both pretty gross. However, if I have to use one or the other for pasta salads and dips and such, I would certainly choose a good quality mayo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I used to prefer Miracle Whip until I read the ingredients list! :ack2: Now I only eat mayo by choice. I grew up on miracle whip and really preferred the taste but after many years of mayo only, miracle whip now tastes weird and icky. I can't believe I used to prefer it.

Miracle whip for cheese and tomato sandwiches, egg salad/deviled eggs and tuna salad; mayo for sandwiches of other kinds, and for chicken salad, etc. ;) Bolding is mine. That's my one concession to Miracle Whip. My mom makes the best deviled eggs ever, and they have a little bit of Miracle Whip and also dijon or spicy brown mustard. I've tried making them with mayo and it's not the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I have to be honest, I think two of my issues with mayo are 1) it's got this weird, jellied texture and 2) it tastes spoiled. Can't stand spoiled dairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenL Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Miracle Whip is disgusting. We grew up with Hellman's full fat mayo, and I believed it was the only mayo one should ever use UNTIL I moved down south at the age of 32. Being here, I've discovered Duke's, and it trumps Hellman's any day! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I can't stand mayo. It's like pouring oil into your mouth. Yuck. I eat my sandwiches plain and my burgers with ketchup only.
