Which Mayo do you use

[DWalt]

I was brought up on Miracle Whip. That was all my mother ever used. I remember she never refrigerated it, the opened jar was kept on the pantry shelf (we actually had a pantry back then which was where food and food ingredients were kept along with dishes, pots and pans, etc,) along with the canned goods, flour, and sugar. My wife makes such food purchase decisions today and has never bought anything other than Hellman's.

I learned many things during my time in New Orleans.
It's pronounced - My-Ah-Nez.
It also has to be the local favorite - Blue Plate.

Miracle Whip all the way.

In Southern Louisiana, we only use Blue Plate.

Blue Plate and Zatarain's Creole Mustard go together like peanut butter and jelly. If I cannot have Blue Plate, I do without.

Speaking of olive oil variations, I believe Blue Plate makes an olive oil version. I have yet to try it, but I love both the taste and nutritional benefits of olive oil, so it looks promising.

Someone other than Duke's makes mayonnaise?

Hellmann’s. Was raised on it. Can’t stand Miracle Whip, and it really pisses me off if I get it after asking for mayo. I just bought a jar of Duke’s, but have not had occasion to try it. I had never seen it locally, until after I read about it here.

Coincidence? I think not.

Finally got around to trying my Duke’s mayo. It tastes stronger than Hellman’s, saltier perhaps, it is hard to tell for sure without a side-by-side comparison. Putting some brined olives and capers
into a tuna salad made it almost too salty, but not so salty a little lemon couldn’t brighten it up.

I could certainly live with Duke’s, but given the choice, I would still go with Hellmam’s.

Last week we went to a cookout and we were on the hook for cole slaw and deviled eggs. While at Aldi's we grabbed their house brand Burman's. We were quite surprised and no one at the cookout complained as there was none left.

Never hurts to have a solid 'plan B'.

I am pretty sure that Burman’s is a special label that Hellman’s does for Aldi.

as a result of this thread, i looked at blue plate mayo.
it says all yolks, so i ordered some. it is every bit as good as hellmans, but more expensive.
i'll stay with hellmans due to price but both are real mayo.
haven't found dukes yet.

no option for None?

I'm still a Miracle Whip guy,but had never tried (or even heard of) Blue Plate or Dukes.

So, I tried Dukes-Pretty good.

The Blue Plate-Didn't like it, ended up trashing the jar (and the store didn't have any little ones, had to buy a larger one for something like 4 bucks to try out. Wife didn't like it either.

Had Miracle Whip last night and for lunch today (on Turkey meatloaf sandwiches).

Yep, I'm a Miracle Whip guy.

o/' Bring out the Hellman's and bring out the best! o/'

I may just have to try it.

They use that same jingle for Best Foods, and it's the only mayo I'll buy. I could eat it with a spoon right from the jar.

The Texas (and other states also) burger chain Whataburger is now selling mayo through supermarkets. I think that is a relatively new product for them. They have been selling other condiments - mustard, ketchup, salad dressings, etc. - in supermarkets for quite a while. I haven't tried the Whataburger mayo yet, and probably won't. Has anyone?

Whataburger seems to be doing well with their supermarket products. Surprised that McDonalds hasn't tried it.

Miracle Whip by Kraft.

Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise. It's garbage and should be banned from the store shelves.

Hellmanns - THANX

No one has mentioned this one yet so I will since it just came to mind while reading some of the other responses, Mrs. Filberts. I think though it may be gone now I haven't seen it around in many years. I do not remember that we ever used it but I do remember seeing it on the shelves at the store in the 50's and early 60's.

Down here, many spread mayo on corn-on-the cob, along with hot sauce like Cholula or Tabasco. Anyone else here tried that?

Actually Miracle Whip is okay in a fruit salad. That is its only acceptable use, and it isn't mayonnaise.

In Mexico, and around here in Latino areas, elote, or corn on the cob is street food, served with crema and chili powder. I don’t see why mayo wouldn’t work. It is especially good if the corn is freshly roasted.

Drifting again:

Ruthie dips her french fries in tartar sauce. She will substitute mayo in a pinch. Think Belgian pommes frites.

Growing up, money was tight and mom would make us (don't laugh) Miracle Whip, banana and Wonder Bread sandwiches.

We didn't know any better so we liked it. I do it a couple times a year just to take me back.
