Will I be flogged if I admit that I like Miracle Whip?

Hell no! I like it too! Each has it's place IMHO. I prefer that on some sandwiches over mayo. Ham and cheese for one.

Don't forget the day after thanksgiving cold turkey sammich! I grew up on cheap mayo and miracle whip!

I just don't consider Miracle Whip to be mayo, it even refers to itself as a salad dressing. Not a hater, just think it's an apples to oranges comparison. I think it's similar to calling Durkees, mustard. It's mustard like, but certainly not mustard.

 

[Fueling Around]

Never heard of it. If I can find a squeeze tube may try it.
My wife was a happy camper once I got her to try Dukes

GFS has heavy and extra heavy on the shelf . Never knew what that meant .

Something about adding yolks to a jar says No to me . I saw the SV part , but strikes me as a bad idea .

We need a chime in from the mayo maker noboundaries
I don't recall how he processes his eggs.

Not by me. Miracle Whip has some flavor to it where mayo is just a step above library paste

I've never eaten library paste but it must be delicious!!

We are dukes here. Last week I was at a restaurant and I wants mayo on my sandwich. She asked if I wanted real mayo or fake. I said I want real stuff. Don't know what it was but it was good

I use commercial raw eggs, but not farm-to-fork raw eggs, for making mayo. Commercial eggs in the US must have their shells pasteurized, which requires them to be refrigerated. Farm-to-fork eggs are not treated that way, so there's supposedly a higher risk of bacteria transfer.

I've switched to using/making avocado oil mayo instead of canola oil, but there's no big savings when compared to Costco's avocado mayo pricing, especially when on sale. Mine tastes better, but my wife still prefers commercial.

To pasteurize raw eggs at home, I use a yogurt maker where I can set the temperature and time setting. I crack the eggs into a Pyrex bowl that fits in my yogurt maker, add the cover to the bowl, them heat them in a water bath set to 135°F (57.2°C) for 90 minutes. I guess you could use a sous vide machine, too.

Came in last night and the 20 yr old daughter says she bought some "generic" mayonnaise for her canned chicken salad. Said it was funny tasting compared to the household standard of only Dukes.
Took a peek at the bottle and it was Miracle Whip. Pointed to the pantry and our suppy of the the good stuff.
Her bottle promptly was tossed in the trash!

It's all personal preference... here in the Midwest Dukes has just become available locally within the last year, although currently about $ 2 more than any other brand. We tried it and liked it. During hunting season if I'm making sandwiches for the guys... it's miracle whip. Otherwise it's Kraft mayo for wife and I and has been for years.

Funny story, as a kid all I like on my burger was "meat, bread, & mayonnaise" but I was raised in a house that Miracle Whip was the only "Mayo" my mother bought (she didn't like real mayo) So I was always confused why the mayo I got at a restaurant or burger joint tasted better (IMO) than our mayo at home. I was damn near 18 yrs old before I figured out Miracle Whip wasn't mayo

My childhood was a lie.........

Love dipping French fries into Hellmans, Dukes, & Blue Plate!

Along with a whole bunch of other things.
It's a wonder we know how to tie our shoes...

My wife has a huge sensitivity to soybean oil (which is in everything - bastards).
So, it's only Sir Kensington's, @ $9 for 12 ounces.

Yep fries are great like that!

I see both Dukes and Hellman are soybean oil. The Mikes Amazing Mayo that Steve posted this thread about lists vegetable oil instead of soybean.

Came across Duke's up here in ND, have never seen it before. Picked up a bottle and first though was "Oh my this has changed my view on mayo forever. Whoever thinks Dukes is better than Hellman's must not enjoy a little extra flavor." Seriously I made two identical sandwiches side by side and could tell the difference, Dukes isn't bad actually but there is a reason it was much cheaper at our local store than Hellman's. Could be worse as at least it's not as bad a Hunt's Ketchup, that is a mistake my wife and I will never make again.

You're about to start a secret and Civil War LOL. Kidding aside it's a great demo of how folks taste varies. I've done the same test and find the Dukes to be as good in flavor and it's without the high fructose corn syrup. I'm a heretic as well though as I am becoming more and more convinced that Kurtz is as good or better than both.

As I re-read it some of my joking might not be coming across.
Accept for the Hunts Ketchup thing, that was no joke
