A frivolous poll while we're waiting for snow: Mayo or Miracle Whip?

[dbostedo]

Food52.com did a taste test (among their staff) of 8 mayo's (or mayo like - they included Miracle Whip). Here are the results:

8. Kraft
7. Miracle Whip
6. Sir Kensington's
5. Whole Foods 365
4. Trader Joe's
3. Kewpie
2. Hellman's
1. Duke's

Ricotta Pie.....

Cheese Pie

I've watched a couple of her videos recently ... making lasagna, pizza.

Somewhere on this forum I've cited the study that showed adult mayo likes are almost completely correlated to early life exposure/acculturation.

Yeah I can buy that. Pretty much everyone I know that likes Miracle Whip liked it as a kid. No one seems to come to like it later in life.

I wonder how many other food likes are like that? A lot I'd think.

and then of course there's this.

How Millennials Killed Mayonnaise

The inexorable rise of identity condiments has led to hard times for the most American of foodstuffs. And that’s a shame.

Hmm... I'm going to discount that article based on this line:

"Do other condiments have pale imitators like Miracle Whip...?"

Pale imitator? They meant to write tremendously improved imitator!

Yes I like the tanginess of Miracle Whip. Mayo just tastes bland to me.

My dad's homemade mayo. I don't eat enough mayo to even justify buying, much less making my own from his recipe but it includes oil, egg, dijon, and lemon juice. It's so delicious.

This week I learned how to make a reasonable amount of mayo with an immersion blender. The chicken salad I made with it is amazing. Maybe a tuna melt later this week. Good eats.

Bump for this...

@Tricia , just watched last week so I can't help to think of:

Mmmmm had mayonnaise on my hamburger tonight...yum

 

[Tom K.]

There IS Durkee Famous Sauce though.

My personal favorite, but nearly impossible for me to find anymore.

Flawed poll. I like both.

This will toss this thread way off course!

This is a go to dinner around our home in hot weather. Use this as a dip with whatever seems like a good idea. We use it with cubed fowl, pork, veggies, fruit, bread, fingers, or what ever else seems like a good idea at the time. Turkey and grapes is probably our most common. Try it, you'll like it!

1 part sour cream
1 part plain yogurt (we use Greek)
1 part mayonnaise (use Miracle Whip by your preference, who cares)
OPTIONAL: add additional seasonings to taste.

So simple, even a husband can do it!

Both are disgusting.

That's an Olivier salad with dairy . I have been known to use Olivier salad 2x month for leftover management, esp. after holidays.

Olivier salad - Wikipedia

carrot*/pickle**/egg***/ham**** is the classic combo.

*3/4 poached, i.e. just slightly more al dente than in soup
**pressed and drained, don't need extra brine or vinegar ruining the texture or settling out
***if you hardboil them in black carrot water you can do blue eggs
****if you can get the tinned Danish ones with gobs of aspic

Since the pandemic made me permanently work from home, I do occasionally make mayo now. I learned a super simple way using an immersion blender and just plan meals (sandwiches etc) that will use it over the next couple of weeks. So much better than storebought on a BLT.

Oh totally. Especially since you can pick your own acid (me: lemon juice) and oil (me: sunflower).

And, yes, I'm still doing it using plant-'egg' mixes like Just Egg.
