justamouse Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 If anyone brings Miracle Whip into the house, they're liable to get pelted with the bottle. Hellmans, only. I DO like making my own, but in the list of things that get made all the time here, mayo is low on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justamouse Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 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. In a heartbeat. There is no reason for it to be *sweet*. Why on earth does anyone need sugar on a sandwich?

nukeswife Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I voted other because for me it's both. I prefer Miracle whip in deviled eggs and egg salad (probably because my mom is a MW only person so I grew up with it) I prefer Mayo on a sandwich, burger, or chik fil a sandwich. I've never tried making my own mayo because I don't think it would keep long enough to be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirch Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Miracle Whip is NASTY. There's my unvarnished opinion on the subject.:D Definitely Mayo only around here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechWife Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I voted other, but it represents "neither." I find them both gag inducing.:ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I have no idea what miracle whip is. I hate Mayo. We use salad cream. What in heaven's name is salad cream? I see you're in the UK... please enlighten us. :) Miracle Whip I think has been explained elsewhere on the thread. It's similar to mayo in some ways (eggs, oil, vinegar), but apparently it has less of something (was developed during Depression as a cheaper alternative), and sugar/high fructose corn syrup and "spices" added.

dirty ethel rackham Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I grew up with Miracle Whip, so that is what I preferred. However, early in our marriage, I worked at eliminating artificial ingredients from our diet and switched to mayo (brands with minimal ingredients.) That said, I don't use much of it. Dh and ds15 really don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura in NC Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Mayo for me, MW for dh. MW is disgusting to me. The kids and I prefer Trader Joe's organic mayo. We don't use a lot but when we do, that's our favorite. This has been a long-standing argument since we dated. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigs 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? Miracle Whip is salad dressing. From Wikipedia Miracle Whip is a white salad dressing manufactured by Kraft Foods, … . It is often used as an alternative to mayonnaise in recipes, although it is sweeter and has additional ingredients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb in NZ Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 MayoI have never used or tasted miracle whip. not sure what it is but I am guessing it is fake cream? Kraft Salad Dressing (found Down Under) tastes the closest to Miracle Whip. I grew up in a Miracle Whip family & would choose that option when available. Down Under any mayo seems to be the least prefered choice. Even egg salad, tuna, etc. isn't normally made with mayo products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilymax Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I voted "other" because I use both. It depends on what it's for. Miracle Whip isn't just sweeter, it's tangier than mayo, too. My grandmother's deviled eggs? Must be Miracle Whip. That's true for coleslaw, broccoli salad and egg salad. Oh, and tomato sandwiches in the summertime. Potato salad must be made with mayo, though. DH despises MW (except in the above recipes). I use either one on a sandwich, depending on what I'm in the mood for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewellsmommy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I have never tasted Miracle Whip, and I do not like mayo plain (like on a sandwich). If it is mixed with mustard and protein like deviled eggs or chicken salad then I like mayo. I like ranch dressing, mayo mixed with chipoltle spice, and mayo mixed with Italian salad dressing (on an Italian sub.) My dh likes both. I buy mayo made with olive oil.

Impish Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 By a combo of both, I mean 2 blobs of mayo and a blob of MW...or half/half. Yummmmmmmmmy :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 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 :lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaceful Isle Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 By a combo of both, I mean 2 blobs of mayo and a blob of MW...or half/half. Yummmmmmmmmy :D That sounds AWESOME!

mommaduck Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Miracle Whip for me. However, we discovered that DD1 can only have mayo due to gluten issues (MW has caramel colouring). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizabeth in MN Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 We are a strictly Mayo family. A friend once wisely observed "Miracle Whip is trucked out of Area 51 in tanker trucks". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spock Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 DH hates mayo and everything and anything else that resembles mayo -and he doesn't let ds eat it either, so I voted "other" for "none"...:leaving: My husband hates mayo & miracle whip & sour cream & tartar sauce (and considers them all pretty much the same thing). None of my 4 children will eat any of those, either (although one of them will use it for tuna salad). As the only one in the house that will eat anything in the mayo family, I rarely buy it. I don't see much difference, and buy whichever I am in the mood for. My tuna-eating son doesn't seem to notice a difference, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yes. :ack2: If the sandwich has that distinctive "sweet" taste -- then I've been poisoned with MW. I hate it. I usually send back the sandwich or refuse to eat it -- if my MIL (who loves MW) made it. In a heartbeat. There is no reason for it to be *sweet*. Why on earth does anyone need sugar on a sandwich? 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 Dang! I wish you'd all go to the restaurant I used to work at and order the sandwiches....then demand that you want that MW off....you want a refund because she advertises mayo....give her a wake up call! Hee hee hee (wringing my hands and devilishly laughing!) :lol: Look at the tag. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
