Mayo or Miracle Whip?

[nadine_mn]

I was raised on Miracle Whip and whenever I have Mayo it tastes like bleh

I sat down to have a delicious egg salad sandwich - tasted it and about cried. Then realized my MW was replaced by Mayo when hubby went shopping (*shakes fist!)

am I the only one with strong feelings for one over the other?

[VioletLake]

1. Miracle Whip is sweetened mayo. I prefer the original, thanks. nt

[nadine_mn]

18. I think like with Skim milk vs 2% if you are raised with one

and are used to it the other tastes off. I only drank skim milk and 2% is like cream, whereas my husband was raised on 2% and says skim tastes like water

of course Americans find a way to improve on other food by adding sugar or salt or bacon - mmm Baconaise

[VioletLake]

20. Pepsi or Coke, nadine_mn? nt

[nadine_mn]

27. diet Coke

it used to be Coke but when I was 13 I went to the dentist and had 24 cavities (many teeth had multiple cavities). The dentist said the Coke acid ate my teeth and if I was gonna to drink soda it had to be diet. My mom (as you can expect) flipped out at the amount of cavities and now 25 yrs later its still only the diet

Pepsi... shudder.

[VioletLake]

29. I should switch to diet, but I don't like the taste.

I don't mind my coffee with Splenda. Coke sweetened with a mix of sugar & Splenda would be ideal.

[VioletLake]

2. How American is it to take something French,

add sugar, and call it a miracle.

:rofl:

[frogmarch]

3. May! I used to use only MW

because that's what my mom used. But when I tried making ranch dressing from those little packets of dry ranch mix using MW, it was awful! Only real mayo works for the packet ranch mixes.

Mayo also makes lots better potato salad than Miracle Whip. I don't buy MW for anything anymore.

[liberaltrucker]

4. Mayo, thanks

Hellmann's specifically.

[TommyO]

5. Unless you're west of the Rockies!

For me, it's definitely Hellmann's, or homemade

[Moondog]

6. I think it depends.

Some stuff, like egg salad or tuna salad, I prefer MW.

Other stuff needs mayo. Like if you are making your own tartar sauce, but are in a hurry. In which case, Hellmann's, please.

Still other stuff needs homemade mayo. Certain recipes, for example. You'll know when you get to that point.

It all depends upon your sense of taste.

[GoCubsGo]

63. Yep. For me, it depends on whether the dish is sweet or savory

If it's going into something like tuna salad or onto a sandwich, then I prefer mayo. And, definitely mayo if I'm going to mix in wasabi, chipotle, garlic, or the like. For fruit salads, carrot-raisin salad, waldorf salad, dressings with honey in them, I prefer MW, although regular mayo is okay, too.

[flvegan]

7. Vegenaise.

[Dr. Strange]

38. Isn't that word a euphemism for, uh, you know.

Extra points if you work Sean Connery into your response.

[flvegan]

39. It's what MrCoffee's mom calls my

special sauce, Trebek.

Sigh. I miss Timmy Brighteyes.

[BlueJazz]

41. Ah Ha....Somebody else likes that stuff. I have to make a special trip to the...

...health food store to get it. Love the taste!

[flvegan]

42. The grapeseed version?

(purple accent label)

It is most excellent. Even if I ate meat, honestly, I'd choose Vegenaise. It just tastes that much better than mayo of any kind.

[BlueJazz]

43. Yes...grapeseed. I remember trying it for the first time. I read the lable and thought...

"Ok..Ok...she (my then Girlfriend) wants me to try this crap." I'll do it but I know it tastes like tofu with cardboard"

Well...4 years later the Girlfriend is gone but my Vegenaise is still here. :)

[flvegan]

44. "4 years later the Girlfriend is gone but my Vegenaise is still here"

That's straight up poetry right there.

[zen_bohemian]

8. I used to like Miracle Whip, but the taste is different from years past

it seems to taste a little like chemicals now vs the way it used to be. I prefer mayo myself, lots of mayo

[sakabatou]

9. I don't like mayo.

[KamaAina]

10. Neither.

Both constitute violations of the Geneva Convention. :puke:

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. Mayo. MW is too sweet or something.

[Paper Roses]

12. Cains, the only Mayo for New Englanders.

Miracle whip is dessert---or something.

[gratuitous]

13. God, why didn't you just say . . .

You like to smoke while breast-feeding at the Olive Garden? I see a flame war of titanic proportions on the horizon.

:popcorn:

[nadine_mn]

15. clearly I am in the Whip minority so maybe no war

although I was concerned that I needed to dust off my flameproof suit

at least no one said they prefer mayo with their chicken

[muffin1]

21. I only use mayo - including in chicken salad.

Or is there another chicken/mayo combo you were referring to?

[nadine_mn]

28. I remember hearing about some flame war yrs ago centering around chicken

chicken nuggets, chicken wings I don't remember... I just remember chicken

[Chan790]

32. Fried Chicken.

Specifically, whether it's wrong to bread your frying chicken with corn flakes.

[nadine_mn]

35. ooh that's right - its all coming back thank n/t

[Angry Dragon]

14. Miracle Whip

[nadine_mn]

16. finally someone with taste weighs in - lol

:hi:

[VioletLake]

19. Yes, but he's an Angry Dragon, and singed his taste buds years ago. ;) nt

[Angry Dragon]

23. Untrue

I have only singed others.
I find Miracle Whip sweeter, I need this to soften the anger
so I singe less.
That, and lots of chocolate

[VioletLake]

26. I stand cleverly corrected. nt

[TommyO]

17. I did forget one thing - while my mayo is either Hellmann's or homemade

I love Baconnaise on a burger.

[Xipe Totec]

22. Nothing against mayo, but I love the Miracle Whip with bits of relish

damn impossible to find these days.

[Callalily]

24. I ONLY use Hain's safflower mayo.

That stuff is great.

[Old Troop]

25. Mayo for most sandwiches, Miracle Whip for tuna salad.

[cordelia]

30. Mayo. Just my preference. Nothing wrong with MW.

[Dyler Turden]

31. Olive oil mayo.

A bit healthier I think. At least for me. Sodium's a bit high in MW.

[GSLevel9]

33. Smart Balance ftw...

yummy and much healthier!

[Chan790]

34. Mayo. Homemade. Slightly yellow. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

36. Miracle Whip is the spooge of Satan.

Horrible stuff -- renders anything it touches inedible.

[Swede]

37. I am a miracle whip guy.

Mayo is just not my cup o tea.

[applegrove]

40. I hate Miracle Whip. I can't eat it.

[Silver Swan]

45. I immediately scrolled through every comment.

Miracle whip is sweet.

Potato salad should not be sweet.

Tuna salad should not be sweet.

Sandwiches should not be sweet.

I can't imagine eating mayo or MW on anything else....

[MilesColtrane]

46. Miracle Whip only belongs on Velveeta and Spam sandwiches on Wonder bread.

It doesn't belong on food.

[Common Sense Party]

47. Whip it! Whip it good!

Mayo is nasty.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

48. Mayo of the Damned --- HELLMANN'S!!!!

Hell Yeah!!!!

Miracle Whip -- yuck.

Sandwich Spread can be good for a change.

Survey note: I am a Texan.

[qnr]

49. Miracle Whip is awful, I'd turn it down if it were offered to me for free n/t

[woo me with science]

50. Hellmann's mayo, but I have to give props to MIracle Whip

for one of the most successful rebranding attempts I have ever seen.

[HopeHoops]

51. Mayo. Fuck that fake shit. Same with butter. Margerine sucks.

I'll indulge in a few extra calories and a bit of fat just for the taste. I don't use a lot of either so I'm cool with that.

[TZ]

52. Just what *is* Miracle Whip anyway...

Sigh....

[Dr. Strange]

54. I miss his poll too.

[TZ]

59. Good to see your pev-dar is still in good working order..

:)

[Arkansas Granny]

55. Pretty much, it's mayonnaise with some added spices and flavorings.

[Arkansas Granny]

53. I like Miracle Whip. Mayo tastes much too bland.

[ceile]

56. Mayo. And only Kraft mayo.

All others suck.

[SteppingRazor]

57. Mayo, especially after that idiotic ad campaign Miracle Whip ran with recently.

Dude, there is nothing "extreme" about Miracle Whip, so please stop patronizing my entire generation with your hard-rocking, young-people-showing-off-their-bottles-of-Miracle-Whip commercials. Thank you.

[lillypaddle]

58. Miracle Whip

of course!

[Lyric]

60. Miracle Whip is gross. I only use it for the rare occasions when I'm making ham salad.

I grew up with Miracle Whip, but I hated it even as a child--too sweet. Rhythm loves it, but she also likes mayo, so we stick with the one thing that we both agree on.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

61. homemade mayo. the store bought stuff is bland. miracle whip tastes like plastic to me

[Lucian]

62. Mayo.

Miracle Whip is an abomination. And I grew up on Miracle Whip. :puke:

[LisaM]

64. Mayo.

Miracle Whip is wayyyy too sweet.

[Burma Jones]

65. Bring out the Hellman's.......

If you're feeling energetic, whip in some good olive oil, makes a big difference.


Miracle Whip is too damned sweet for me......

[TorchTheWitch]

66. Miracle Whip is gross

even more gross than margerine.
