NFT: Mayonnaise

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.

in their recipe, you can tell. i'd enjoy reading your thoughts.

I believe it's big in the south.

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*

here.

... but based on Dukes popularity, I'm sure I'd like it (I never had it)

or best foods as its called in AZ

Here in the south, they swear by Duke's.

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 can't imagine anything better, unless it's homemade.

but lived south of the Mason Dixon for 15 years.
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".

I love saffron aioli and chipotle lime. Plus its more interesting than plain mayo.

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.

NY transplant to RVA. Obviously Hellman’s to Dukes kinda move. Though aldi has been out of dukes lately

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 wish I had Duke’s all my life.

If you haven’t given Dukes a serious try, you’re missing out.

I like it.

Also Miracle Whip should be a felony.

and Duke is darn good. Hellmans: meh.

Wicked, wicked stuff

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.

Born and raised on Hellman’s…

Tried Dukes…will never go back

Way better flavor…

Damn auto correct

in NJ but have a home in the OBX and Dukes is great mayo. I bring back a few jars to have around the NJ home.

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

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.

Give Japanese Kewpie mayonnaise a try. Personally, I started with Hellman’s, went to this and never looked back

I somehow got a cheesesteak that they put mayo on. I threw it out of the window.

Hail Satan!

and we have had Duke's. It is good. Flip a coin between Hellman's and Duke's.

Miracle Whip is a non factor.

...You will probably find it in the international or Latin American section of your grocery store.

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

Would try Duke’s solely because of lono’s endorsement.

As to Miracle Whip let’s just say I’ll take a pass on it moving forward. One try was enough.

Until, like others I moved down south.

Dukes all the way.


Can't find the kewpies anywhere here. Might get some from Amazon. Heard it's killer in deviled eggs

Hellman’s guy until I moved to Va. and found Duke’s; now I’m sold on Duke’s and pissed it wasn’t available in my area of NY!

Blue plate is more of a factor than miracle whip

Sticking with Hellmans

I'm a Duke's guy

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

but Kewpie is greater than all

Is so nasty

It’s gotta go somewhere

avocado mayonnaise. Grew up on Hellmans, but really like the avocado oil based ones.

Not a big Mayo person but love the taste of Duke’s

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.

Duke's is the only mayo we buy.

we're waiting. What's your verdict?

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.

loyal supporters and a lot of folks made fun of Miracle Whip as if it was inedible. I took offense at that.
