Bill do you think this thread could use the addition of TIMMAH?

Miracle Whip is a unique product. It does seem to start out much like mayonnaise, but has additional sugar and vinegar, which defines it as a salad dressing. (mayo has no sugar, or a tiny amount) I've tried and failed to duplicate it my own kitchen.

I have learned to make a lot of name-brand things at home for less money. Stay tuned!

Sometimes you don't have the room or the budget for two big jars of stuff, since the quart jar of either is the best value for a small family. One thing you can do, if you happen to prefer Kraft mayonnaise over Hellman's, is to add half a cup of sugar to a cup of Kraft mayo, and let it sit on your counter long enough to come to room temperature. This is close to Miracle Whip, the closest you can get without buying the original.

A friend of mine used to use equal parts of mayo and Miracle Whip in her potato salad and/or coleslaw, to "slow down" the vinegar. This is another thing that only works with Kraft products. Oddly enough, if you try this with Hellman's, the two dressings cancel each other out and you end up with a tasteless blob.

The purposes of Miracle Whip are limited to "common" things like bologna salad, potato salad, tuna. Please don't try to dress a lobster or prime rib with it! It is excellent for its own purpose.

I quite literally had never had mayonnaise until I married and moved away from home. My mother preferred Miracle Whip over mayonnaise, and so that's what we had. As a newly-married couple, Paul and I enjoyed entertaining and one time we invited my co-worker Bob and his wife over to have a "horses doovers cook-off." Wendy brought a simple mayo-based item, and I was in love with mayo forever. All it was, that tiny rye bread you can get at the grocery store, spread with mayo, topped with a slice of onion and sprinkled with parmesan cheese out of the can. She put it under the broiler for a minute or two. After I tasted it, I actually said, "Wow! This is mayonnaise?"

So here's the recipe for basic mayonnaise:

Have all ingredients at room temperature. Cold eggs won't do the deal.

* 1 egg + 1 yolk (give the white to the dog ;>)
* 1 cup corn oil or olive oil.
* 1 tsp salt.
* 1/4 tsp powdered mustard.
* 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice.

Put everything but the oil in the blender. Whizz it all up for a minute. Then add the oil in a continuous stream until you can see the blender's not mixing anymore.

When I was in South Carolina on bidness, a southern mainstay is Dukes mayo. When a local yokel saw us using Hellman's on our lunch break she immediately knew we were from up north. After stating we knew nothing about cooking and a bunch of other things, like being lazy and backward, she got to the mayo and told us that only Dukes could be called a bonafied mayonnaise.

She was right about the mayo...

Fiancé's from South Carolina originally. She has her mom mail her Duke's mayo because she refuses to eat any other kind.

I go back and forth on Hellmans and Miracle Whip. Im kinda the same way with Coke and Pepsi. Like em both, even though they're different. Seems like I alternate between the two, and always get the small jars to keep it fresh.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Ok. I'll bite, since Bill's thread has been deduced to talk about mayo. I've eaten plenty of sanwiches with many types of mayo, but if you blindfolded me and had me try Miracle Whip and "real mayo", I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The wife makes killer potato salad, with roasted garlic "mayo". Wheter it's real or not, I couldn't tell you, but it sure a shit tastes good.

[peeker643]

Can we ask Bill if he prefers Mayo or Miracle Whip to get this shit back on track?

Not sexual sexual innuendo attached either.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

This is crap. Hellmans/Miracle Whip, it's all the same. Fuck it. I'll just eat spoonfuls of Marzetti Slaw Dressing.

I freely admit Dukes to be much better then Hellman's...

Guy can't taste the difference between Hellman and Miracle Whip, but glance over to the beer thread and he is a regular beer connoisseur...

Hard to trust anyone who can't tell the difference between Hellman's and Miracle Whip. Sorry, CDT, but one is based off of a classic french sauce, and one is vegetable-oil based nonsense.

I like making homemade mayonnaise, as long as I know it will be used quickly. Miracle Whip does have it's uses, like in a potato salad you're going to take on a picnic, so you don't get salmonella.

But how anyone can not tell the difference between the two is incomprehensible to me.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

Beer > Mayo/Not Mayo.

Beer is great Mayo/Not Mayo is just a shitty condiment. You gonna drink a frothy mug of Mayo/Not Mayo on a fall day? Or you gonna enjoy wonderful beer?

As e0y pointed out through a very odd way, i'm a jeanyus.

Nothing is further from the truth.

Miracle Whip isn't even close to any mayonaise, not even Kraft.

Miracle Whip rules.

So if you guys were blindfolded and given real mayo and not real myo, you could tell the difference? That's impressive. Here I am just eating it and not thinking, but you guys can actually tell the difference.

No doubt... Then again put a mainstream beer in front of me and I cannot tell the difference. Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite... Yet people have loyalty to one and bash the others....

Miracle Whip on a sandwich almost makes me sick. MAYO FTW!

Beer, no problem, I can tell between Coors and Bud, Miller is the easiest, because it makes me want to puke. OT: I was in Milwaukee a few years back for a friends wedding, we're at the bar I walk up and order 4 Bud Lights and 4 shots, the bar tender says "You're from Ohio ( I had a OSU hat on) we drink Miller beer here", I said "Yeah?" "Well i'm from Ohio and I drink beer that doesn't taste like piss.". He wasn't happy........

Pretty sure Bill has been logged in yet he's given us no insight regarding Duke's, Hellmans, Kraft, or Miracle Whip.

I am starting to think TCF spotlight might not work if these guys aren't going to get into the spirit of things.

[Triple-S]

I REFUSE to give my business to Miracle Whip after this commercial. Appealing to the hipster douche bags? Mayo is the epitome of unhip, don't try and make it something it's not.

Besides, Hellmans is where it's at.

Let's put it this way CDT, I can tell the difference between Hershey's syrup out of a can or out of the plastic bottle.

Maybe I should try out for America's Got Talent.

My neighbor is the same way. I just brought up a jar of Duke's for them during my trip down south. And yes, Duke's is that good, the mayo discussion ends there. I wouldnt hit my dog in the ass with a jar of Hellmann's.

OT: I was in Milwaukee a few years back for a friends wedding, ....snip snip snip........"You're from Ohio ( I had a OSU hat on) ........

Sweet. 3 pages of drivel and finally a hidden gem. Tell us more about the OSU hat at your friends wedding. Was it a top hat? Did you wear a matching scarlet cumberbund?

It was actually before the wedding at some local bar. But if I had a OSU top hat and cumberbund, i'd wear the shit out of them.

Maybe, but i'd still win because beer is more important than syrup/mayo/not mayo, on the consumption heirarchy
