A lifelong Hellman's/Best Foods guy, here. Today I found and bought a jar of Duke's. Sometime in the near future I'm gonna find out if all you Dukophiles are right or not.
But you know, the from scratch mayonnaise from the tedious slow pour EVOO (or less virginal) is some good eating sides too, change of pace.
I'm been planning on making my own mayo again, soon, now that I've found you can do it in a food processor. One of these days I'll do a 3-way taste test (sorry, Miracle Whip is not mayo)

I now insist on Dukes; it has just a little more "bite" (sour?) than what used to be our standby Hellmans.

To my taste it is not "sweeter".
Growing up with Hellman’s all my life, I have no problem saying
More bite is a good way to describe it. I do like both, grew up with Hellmans, but like Dukes just a little bit more.

I really dont notice much FLAVOR difference to be quite honest. But texture-wise, it is much better, less runny.
For instance I use wasabi sauce on my lumch wraps and I put sweet pr cherry peppers which have vinegar and with regular mayo the wrap turns into a disaster, but Dukes, it only drips a bit.
I will go ahead and admit that I like Miracle whip occasionally. I like it with bologna, american l& t and onion on whole wheat....it adds a sweetness that I kinda dig.
Now, I havent had it in years, and I have never purchased a jar of it for myself. I always used it when at my aunts. Maybe regular exposure would make it gross for me.
But when I tried Dukes for the first time, I really liked it and have been using at home ever since. As said above no sugar added and just has better flavor IMO.
At work we use three different kinds depending on volume. House made, Hellman’s and Just Mayo which is a vegan mayo and honestly damn good.
For the record, I've had both Hellmann's and Duke's (and Ken's Extra Heavy Mayonnaise) and honestly can't tell the difference. Of course, 40 years of smoking may have destroyed my taste buds, so maybe I'm not the best judge of condiments.
I'm a Duke's convert. I like it more, but I still like Hellman's. There is a new kid on the block that I really like 'Mike's Amazing Mayo'. Like others have posted above, Duke's is a little more tangy than Hellman's, but it doesn't even come close to the Miracle Whip sweet/tangy garbage. It's very similar to Hellman's. Mike's Amazing is really thick, and comparable in flavor to both.
I seem to remember an old thread on mayo. Dukes had a ton of
loyal supporters and a lot of folks made fun of Miracle Whip as if it was inedible. I took offense at that.
I guess using the word 'garbage' really isn't fair, but Miracle Whip isn't a mayo, I believe it's sold as a salad dressing. I think of it as a dressing for coleslaw, and as a sandwich topping, Cole slaw is pretty good, so there is that.

you do usually add sugar to cole slaw, so I can see that. I'd still rather add sugar to the mayo :)
I didn't know I was on the clock, lol. I gave a little taste out of the jar yesterday. The Duke's was a little tangier, thicker and seemed to give more of a mouth coat. Just looked at the labels- Duke's is yolks only, Hellman's is yolks and whole eggs, so you'd expect Duke's to be thicker. I'm gonna make some mayo today- 1 whole egg plus one yolk and see how it goes :) Gotta decide what to try it out on.

I do a half cup of sugar, a half cup of apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp salt, 2 cups of mayo, and 1 med head of shredded cabbage, and one carrot. Make it at least 1 day before.

I'm guessing a medium cabbage would be about 2 pounds? That's a lot of sugar, vinegar and mayo. I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure the wife is going to like it. I can always add more cabbage :)
Ta daa. I'm not a mayo expert and may not have the greatest palate, but....
I tried the mayo on a plain piece of wheat bread. I thought the Hellman's and Duke's were very similar, enough so that I'd probably just go with the best price. Surprisingly, I thought the homemade was just about as good. I'm not sure if it's cheaper. Maybe, it's just canola and egg. And no preservatives, which I always appreciate. I don't know how long it actually will store in the fridge. We'll see- I never go by the shelf life they tell you. If anyone wants to give it a try, here's what I did:
Food Processor Homemade Mayonnaise
Ingredients
1 egg at room temperature*
1 ½ tablespoons vinegar or
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup oil, not flavorful
Directions
Add the egg and mustard to a food processor
Process the ingredients a couple seconds, then with the motor running, add the oil in a slow stream.
Run until thick and glossy, a few minutes.
Add salt and vinegar. Pulse a few times. Refrigerate.

Add vinegar or.. ?? What's the or, lemon juice? Also I wonder what vinegar type works best. I might consider trying with Apple cider vinegar
Sorry, sloppy job of altering original recipe. I had recipes that said room temp eggs and also some that made no mention of temp. I made mine with egg right from the fridge, and it was fine. The "or" was lemon juice.
It's already hot here, so I didn't want to have mayo shipped by Amazon. I googled it for local stores and found it in Fry's (Smith's) and also Walmart. Try your local area.
But I read or heard that it's sweeter than something like Hellmann's, and if that's true, it wouldn't be for me.
You're then headed into the dreaded Miracle Whip area, and I hate that stuff. *grin*
I'm been planning on making my own mayo again, soon, now that I've found you can do it in a food processor. One of these days I'll do a 3-way taste test (sorry, Miracle Whip is not mayo)

Miracle Whip is not even a food product. *grin*
But Duke's has more egg yolks in their mixture than Hellman's or the other brands. My DW says it just doesn't work in some of her recipes.
And bring out the best.
(For you old timers out there!)
I now insist on Dukes; it has just a little more "bite" (sour?) than what used to be our standby Hellmans.
To my taste it is not "sweeter".
But having tried Dukes, its pretty effing good. Plus you can get it on amazon.
Yeah. I felt the same way, and while Hellman's is still my fave, Duke's is good, and I'm not sad if I have to eat it.
Which is the case with Kraft and most other mayos I've tried.

If you haven’t given Dukes a serious try, you’re missing out.
Also Miracle Whip should be a felony.

Tried Dukes…will never go back
Way better flavor…

Good thing you corrected....I had no idea what you were talking about. 😏

I somehow got a cheesesteak that they put mayo on. I threw it out of the window.
Hail Satan!
Miracle Whip is a non factor.
It's really good, it has lime juice in it, but it's not sweet. It's baller on french fries, LOL.

I noticed Duke's has a lime version also
As to Miracle Whip let’s just say I’ll take a pass on it moving forward. One try was enough.
Dukes all the way.
Can't find the kewpies anywhere here. Might get some from Amazon. Heard it's killer in deviled eggs
Miracle Whip is a non factor.
Blue plate is more of a factor than miracle whip

I still have nightmares about that tuna fish salad my aunt made with Miracle Whip...
