shawthorne44 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 .... My stepmother, on the other hand, used to add artificial sweetener to everything, including commercial thousand island dressing, which already has a lot of sugar in it. That is just weird! And when I say "Better living through chemistry" I am referring to artificial sweeteners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) You can definitely taste the difference between mayo made with sugar and without. My dad didn't believe my sister and I could taste the difference so did a blind taste test with us once. We had no difficulty knowing which was which. I may have to try the Trader Joe's mayo to see how it compares to my standard Duke's. The ingredient list looks similar, with lemon, which I like, and neither one uses any sugar. As to slaw, can't stand slaw dressing either. I make my slaw with the no sugar mayo, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Odd, since I have a big sweet tooth, but this is how my mother made it. My stepmother, on the other hand, used to add artificial sweetener to everything, including commercial thousand island dressing, which already has a lot of sugar in it. Oh, there is a taste difference for sure, but I'm not sure that I'd say Hellmans tastes sweeter. Just different. I think Hellmans has an eggier taste than Dukes, and Dukes has a more vinegary taste. But neither seem sweet to me. Now Miracle Whip...that is sweet! I' m a Hellmans girl through and through, again because of the eggier taste and the thickness. It's less creamy than Kraft, for instance, which I find way too bland. I actually love slaw made without sweetener, but it's hard to find. I haven't tried making my own, which now seems the obvious solution, lol. Edited to add: checked the ingredients and Hellmans has lemon and Dukes doesn't, and Dukes has paprika, and Hellmans doesn't. Maybe those differences are why I prefer Hellmans? Edited December 28, 2017 by ktgrok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwalker Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Aren't they currently being sued by the big mayo consortium because vegan mayo isn't "real" mayo?Just Mayo won the lawsuit,so it's on the shelves still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
