lionfamily1999 Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Okay, that's four for Duke's. We need a new poll, Hellman's, homemade, or Duke's ;) :iagree: This was me! I only would eat Miracle Whip as a kid, but now I think its gross. My dh insists we only buy Duke's Mayo. 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...
mrsrevmeg Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Gag. Both are *awful.* I never realized there was a difference. So, what is the difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Mayo, but only on a handful of things (e.g. BLT, tomato sandwich, turkey sandwich, deviled eggs). *Never* on hamburgers. What is it about the states that hamburgers come slathered with mayonnaise by default? Uck. Why not just eat it out of the jar? *shudder* Miracle Whip is unspeakably vile, no matter how it's used.

nmoira Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I never realized there was a difference. So, what is the difference? Miracle Whip is made the same way and of similar ingredients as commercial, mass-produced mayonnaise, but with an added spice mixture so unsavory as to render it unpalatable. Though to be fair, I find the majority of mass-produced mayonnaise to be unpalatable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Why not just eat it out of the jar? I sometimes do. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mereminerals Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Well, it depends on what I am eating. I eat mayo on almost everything. But, I have to have Miracle Whip on my ham sandwich. Not sure why, but it just tastes better to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristavws Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 Okay, that's four for Duke's.

MyLittleWonders Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Mayo only - Bestfood's (Hellman's) is the only stuff I'll eat. (Dh will eat the organic mayo from Trader Joe's, but I don't like the taste at all. The kids will eat either, depending on who is making the food.)

Night Elf Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I didn't vote because I like them equally well, depending on what I'm using it for. Mayo is for chicken salad or tuna salad. Miracle Whip is my preference for sandwiches. I do not know why I prefer Miracle Whip on sandwiches, I just do. So I keep both in the house. However, I am the only one in the house who likes Miracle Whip. My MIL introduced it to me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I really depends on what I'm eating. If it's a BLT or Ham sandwich I make at home then it must be miracle whip. If it's a hamburger or crispy/grilled chicken sandwich then it must be real mayo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Only Duke's mayo here. Miracle Whip is just gross IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punks in Ontario Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I voted for mayo. For many years, we had both Miracle Whip and Hellman's in the fridge at all times. I finally decided that was ridiculous and bowed to dh's preference. It took a bit of getting used to, but I now eat Miracle Whip. I still prefer real mayo:001_smile:.

sparrow Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Huh. I never realized so many people despised Miracle Whip! It's all I ever had growing up. I've since acquired a taste for mayo and will crave it in tuna salad sometimes, so I didn't vote. I usually have a small jar of mayo around for recipes and occasional cravings. I prefer Miracle Whip on sandwiches and my husband will not eat mayo, so we always have a big jar of Whip around. Here's something gross for you to ponder: my mom used to eat Miracle Whip on Oreo cookies :ack2:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've never tried either, I don't think. We didn't eat sandwiches, tuna or chicken salad, or devil eggs as kids bc those aren't normal foods for us. I don't make (or eat) any of those now. Nor do my kids lol. Maybe I'll have to do a taste test - the strong feelings on each side have truly piqued my curiosity as to what I'm missing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've only tried Miracle Whip once or twice in my life, and while I can't remember where or when I do quite clearly recall that I thought it was vile. Hellmann's mayo all the way. Love the stuff, although I try not to eat it too often because whoa, calories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Add another Duke's fan :D (though the regular only, the light, fat free and cholesterol free all have sweetener :ack2:). The big difference, for those who are not fortunate enough to have experienced the true wonder that is Duke's mayonnaise (especially on a tomato sandwich;)), is that Duke's has no sugar or sweetener at all. My father didn't believe we could tell the difference until he had us do a blind taste test of two different mayos on saltines. No contest. Coincidentally, we're doing some "taste-testing" at home now with mayo. We've concluded that the Trader Joe's mayo without sweetener still tastes like Hellmans (so, fail ;)), and Lowe's Foods Best Value Southern Style Mayo (also no sweetener) may be an acceptable substitute for Duke's for those times when the budget is tight. Sorry, for me, Miracle Whip falls into the category of "not food." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kissy Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I grew up with Duke's and then tried Miracle Whip to me it isnt' even the same thing or comparable. Love Duke's Mayo and I can't even eat miracle whip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie Laurie Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I found Duke's at Central Market yesterday in TX. It had very simple ingredients like the Spectrum mayo I already buy, but soybean oil was the first ingredient. Spectrum has canola. Which is worse for you? I would have guessed soybean, but I know that canola is always genetically modified, so I can't decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Mayo - but only the full fat, real version...no low fat/fat free stuff. blech. I grew up on Miracle Whip and loved it, but can't stand the stuff now. Wow, I just realized that we must be the same person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
