Heather in Neverland Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mayo or miracle whip? :D I just got back from a baby shower and I noticed that several dishes that call for mayo (deviled eggs, pasta salads, spinach dip, tuna salad, chicken salad, etc.) had miracle whip in them instead of mayo. Yes we can get both here for the same price. I personally can't stand miracle whip. It is mayo only for me. So, of course, it is time for a poll.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funschooler5 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I grew up on Miracle Whip. My mom used to mix it in tuna for our sandwiches. It wasn't until I married DH and he pointed out how sweet (and gross) it is that I made the switch to mayo. Haven't had Miracle Whip since! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mayo I have never used or tasted miracle whip. not sure what it is but I am guessing it is fake cream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I'm delighted there's no Miracle Whip here so my kids forget about it. My husband likes it and buys it when we live in the US. Of course, living here had almost completely turned me off mayo. It's quite common in many Russian dishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amira Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 MayoI have never used or tasted miracle whip. not sure what it is but I am guessing it is fake cream? It's a lot like mayo, but it's sweeter and I assume it has some other flavorings in it too. There are lots of generic versions that are just called salad dressing, but they don't look like bottled salad dressing, but mayo. I think it's all a little confusing.

stripe Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 MayoI have never used or tasted miracle whip. not sure what it is but I am guessing it is fake cream? No, it's more like "mayo alternative."

TN Mama Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I've said it before, and I'll say it again. The *only acceptable use of Miracle Whip is on white bread with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. The end. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well, I think both are gross, but if you have to have something to bind a protein "salad" together, I'd use the real thing. Or use Greek yogurt, but that's probably not available in Malaysia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regentrude Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Neither. I don't do bottled stuff. I am squeamish about fresh mayo from scratch because of the raw eggs. We use plain yoghurt in our salads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alessandra Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I voted mayonnaise. I've never tasted MW -- the name puts me off -- what is the miracle? That people will actually buy & eat it?

Susan in TN Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mayo BUT when I was little my neighbor friend always got Miracle Whip bologna and cheese sandwiches which I thought were pure heaven.

BatmansWife Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) For me...without any hestiation it is definitely Miracle Whip (the FF kind). I hate mayo. My dh only will eat Hellman's Mayo; he hates MW. When I worked at a restaurant, our menus said the sandwiches came with mayo. But.....we only ever had Miracle Whip in the fridge. My boss *always* called it mayo. But, it wasn't. I never had the nerve to point this out to her. But....I sometimes wonder if anyone noticed that it didn't taste like mayo. ETA: Just curious if you mayo eaters would order a sandwich that said mayo....and if it came with MW instead....do you think you would notice?? I would definitely noctice if it were the other way around. Edited April 15, 2012 by ~AprilMay~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustybug Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mayo, Dukes please. Miricle Whip is disgusting IMO. When I read your response, I just KNEW you were from/in NC. lol My DH refuses to eat anything other than Duke's mayo. I voted "other." I don't like mayo and I've never had miracle whip. When I must use mayo in something (deviled eggs, tuna, etc) I always use the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mayo for salads Mustard only for sandwhiches if they have moist bread. Miracle Whip for sandwhiches with dry bread (only a skim though) but mayo is fine...as long as it has mustard to go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mayo but it has to be Hellmans. and I agree with it having to be Hellmann's. If I buy at a normal grocery, that's all I will buy. That said, we eat Veganaise, and it is excellent - not sweet, but a tad tangy, like a good mayo should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsunshine Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I voted "other" because our dd is allergic to eggs, and I've never really had either one in the house, anyway. However, I just read on one of the links that MW contains HFCS?? Yuck! If I had to choose, I'd choose the one without HFCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mayonnaise. Hellman's. And yes, if I ordered something with mayo and it came with MW, I'd notice. I'd probably send it back and I'm not a complainer. But, you can't substitute MW for mayo just because it's the same color anymore than you can serve a piece of poop and call it a brownie just because it's brown. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onceuponatime Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Miracle Whip, no contest. For goodness sakes, Miracle Whip is just mayo with flavorings added: vinegar, sugar, and spices. That's why it's usually called salad dressing. What's so horrible about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
