Dukes Mayo

[clifish]

Any Asian market should have it. Amazon also has it.

We have quite few of those around here.

It's funny how you taste something and if it's not what you expected it's awful . Like thinking you're getting a drink of water but turns out it's 7up .

I actually had high expectations based on the dedicated following it has.

Dude I’m not sure what happened but Dukes is the god of Mayo. This is from a guy who was diehard Hellmans for 56 years. I tried Dukes and never looked back. I also like that they don’t add corn syrup.

When I recover I will do a side by side off a spoon.

Make a Youtube video and post it up for us to enjoy!!!

Dukes just got into this area recently, but it was priced about double anything else. Then a couple weeks ago, it went on sale and beat all the others; so I picked up 2 jars. Hope it doesn't taste like dirt, lol.
Kewpies is good, different, but good; a little sweeter, maybe. They also make a wasabi mayo that I just love, but that's harder to find, even in the Asian markets.

Also, orange juice thinking it's milk !

I was going to mention Kewpie. I like it.... it has the yolk in the mix. It has its own spot in the mayo world and is a tasty addition to the condiment shelf in my fridge.

Life long Best Foods/Hellman's fan here. Tried a jar of Duke's last year, had a kind of lemon flavor that my in-house food critic didn't find appealing, I wasn't crazy about it either. Most folks like what they grew up on, change ain't always good. RAY

This is exactly us. Do not recall any off flavor tho. My fave is GFS heavy mayo but 1G tub only and no room for it anymore. I am not easily impressed but was with that stuff.

Like others, I've lived in Hellman's land most of my life, but tried Duke's once and didn't care for it, though I don't recall it tasting like dirt. Looking at the ingredient list, it may have been the soybean oil, cider vinegar, oleoresin paprika, and other natural flavors, whatever they are. To me, it seemed less like a mayonnaise and more like a regional sandwich spread that called for an "acquired taste" that I didn't care to acquire.

For the most part I just make my own mayo. All it takes are a few simple ingredients like egg yolks, a neutral oil, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar or lemon juice and a couple minutes of time. As an option, I usually add some garlic confit. In the absence of the homemade mayo, Hellman's or Kewpie are always on hand.

Does the raw egg add any Salmonella risk to home made mayo?

Some folks pasteurize the eggs first

Nothing but Dukes is allowed in our fridge. I hear Blue Plate is about as good, but I haven't tried it.

Here in rural Iowa I just found Bachan's Japanese BBQ sauce. As far as I know Dukes is not in Iowa, and finding an asian market might be tough lol.

Grew up on Blue Plate but made the switch to Duke's over 20 yrs ago. No substitutions allowed in my house.
Sorry you had that experience Cliff but we love the flavor. I eat a lot of mayonnaise sandwiches with soup and such.

I grew up in a Best Food's Mayo house and I had never heard of Duke's until I joined Smoking forums. Had not seen it in SoCalif until a few months ago when Wife snagged a jar and I really liked it. Different enough to be tasty and provide a nice change.

I also heard about making grilled cheese sandwiches using Mayo instead of butter on the bread/griddle and we finally did a side by side taste test and for us, butter won. Did not like the taste of the grilled Mayo.

And if it matters, I may be the only person in California that does not like Avocados. Also, I do not put pineapple or broccoli on pizza. Sausage, pepperoni and mushrooms are my toppings of choice. Am I allowed to stay ???

I converted to grilled cheese made with mayo a long time ago. And broccoli on pizza is just GROSS!

My wife was a diehard Hellmann's (Best Foods in the west) consumer for many years.
We use mayo as a sandwich spread, wife makes fry sauce (ketchup and Mayo), Ranch Dressing from the mix, and egg, tuna, etc. salad sandwich spreads. I don't put Miracle Whip in the same category as mayo (I think the label calls it ... spread not mayo) and that's what both of us grew up with.
Well, our MN local grocery store chain changed distribution chains and started stocking Duke's. I remembered Duke's from somewhere and thought it was top dog.
Asked my wife to try it. I wasn't holding my breath but hoping. Duke's is a totally different taste palette than a Hellmann's. A little richer from egg yolks and no added sweetener as ? pointed out.
Success! Duke's won her over and it is all we stock.

I tried grilled sandwiches with Hellmann's (Best) and was a no.
Tried it again once we Duke's in the fridge. Yeah, still a no. Butter or a no go.

I do not care for Avocado flesh either. However, I can use Avocado oil.
