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.
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.
