Mom2legomaniacs Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Dh is making ham salad. I said use Mayo. Ds wants Miracle Whip. Dh said he would do a little of each. I thought he meant 2 separate bowls. Nope, he meant a little of each in the same bowl. After a big shudder, I told him that's just wrong. He said he was not aware of any universal rule banning the 2 mixed together. He said he would do 2 separate bowls though. Ewwwww. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyThreeSons Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Anything to do with Miracle Whip makes me shudder!! What about this? Last weekend on our camping trip, I gave my son's buddy a chicken salad sandwich (made with Helman's mayo!). He asked if I had any ketchup, and when I didn't, he ran back to his campsite to get some. Talk about ewwww !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 So this is just wrong, isn't it? Dh is making ham salad. :iagree: I agreed with your original premise ("this is just wrong") from that point ("ham salad"). Didn't need to read any more. :P I mean... Ham ... SALAD?!?!?? (and no, I couldn't care less which gooey white stuff you're mixing with your ham, or if you mix 'em together... gross, gross, gross!) :rofl: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percytruffle Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Well yes, of course it's wrong. The whole blasted idea of off-white blobbular fat in a jar is wrong, wrong, wrong I tell you! Non-mayonnaise eater here, running and hiding........eeeeek :leaving: Seriously though, my mother would be rolling over in her grave. There is no mayo but Hellman's. None. Shudder. That other stuff is just an overly sweetened Hellman's wanna be. :D The nerve of mixing the two together. They aren't even from the "same side of the tracks."

Brigitte Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Actually, there is one purpose and one purpose only for Miracle Whip, and that is to put in on tomato sandwiches. The sweet tangy flavor mixes nicely with juicy ripe tomatoes. But that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doran Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm a mayo girl all the way. My orientation is quite unwavering. But, why shouldn't the Miracle Whippers have an equal shot at fulfilling their essential Whippiness? I mean, don't all cholesterol laden substance abusers have the right to an equal opportunity kitchen? Just because I choose the more traditional approach, should I rule out Whip based on a preconceived notion that Whip is wrong? Moreover, is it really my place to judge? Your husband clearly has an interest in cross dressings. Rather than shunning his approach, I think you should try to embrace it. You never know -- you might find it sweeter than you imagine. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reservejagmom Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 My dh is the Miracle Whip lover at our house ... I avoid it because its full of high fructose corn syrup ... :glare: There's a separate jar of mayo in the fridge just for me at all times! Not to highjack this thread -- but this mixup reminds me of when we were planning our wedding reception, and the caterer asked us about ham and cheese sandwiches ... on rye, right?! Well, my soon to be dh said he hated rye bread, so we had the sandwiches on whole wheat bread. :glare: No, it just is NOT the same ..., but ok, I went along with it. Fast forward a couple of months -- I brought some ham, cheese, and a loaf of fresh rye bread home (figuring it was all for me based on the above) and my dh said, "Oh, boy, my favorite!" :001_huh::001_huh::001_huh: Wait a minute ... as it turned out -- its PUMPERNICKEL bread he doesn't like. Ok, we hardly dated at all before we got married, and never had a chance to learn these things until after the wedding. We've been married 15 years now and I still tease him occasionally about our ham and cheese on whole wheat sandwiches at our wedding reception!

girligirlmom Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 MIRACLE WHIP - DRESSING Ingredients: WATER, SOYBEAN OIL, VINEGAR, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, SUGAR, SALT, ENZYME MODIFIED EGG YOLKS, MUSTARD FLOUR, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, POTASSIUM SORBATE AS A PRESERVATIVE, PAPRIKA, SPICE, NATURAL FLAVOR, DRIED GARLIC, BETA CAROTENE (COLOR). CONTAINS: EGG. Size: 32 OZ Hellman's Mayonnaise INGREDIENTS: SOYBEAN OIL, WATER, WHOLE EGGS AND EGG YOLKS, VINEGAR, SALT, SUGAR, LEMON JUICE, NATURAL FLAVORS, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA (USED TO PROTECT QUALITY). Does this help? I am nursing a child with food allergies including egg so I do not eat mayonnaise or any of it's variants. IF I had to, I pick none of the above since I am avoiding soy and GMOs. Even the Canola based mayo found in Whole Foods is not something I would pick! It might not be GMO (if it's organic it's not GMO) but I avoid Canola too.
