East Carolina BBQ and dry rubbed ribs are the best, no matter what anybody else says...:^)
It was always Miracle Whip.
I hated the stuff and still do. Yucky!
Same for cole slaw, potato salad and chocolate cake with mayonnaise in it, which normal people find delicious.
As my late father liked to say, "Everyone to his own taste, says the man who kissed the cow."
Humans all have different chemistry. Emotions may also steer us to what tastes we like and those we don't like. Memories of a terrible time with a date eating raw oysters (as a good example) can reverberate in the mind decades later.
Aside from individual likes and dislikes, I believe many if not most Americans suppress a distaste (for mayonnaise, beer, hot sauce, salad dressing, you name it) in the interest of their being accepted socially, with family, friends, associates..
Go along to get along, be politically correct.
Don't offend the hostess when she spent all afternoon preparing the rumaki. We're expected to go ahead and try it, smile as if you were delighted to see such a treat and not grimace--or choke--as you force it down.
Sorry, Emily. I reserve the right to politely refuse to consume that which does not appeal to me. If it's on my plate I leave it there. If it's offered, I say "No, thanks."
A polite hostess will not press a guest into compliance.
They all have their place and uses is my take but for a sandwich Hellman’s, guess I’m a mayo agnostic just as I’m a barbecue agnostic. Kraft has too much lemon therefore sort of sour to me but works in some things. Duke’s too sweet but works in some things. As a condiment though, Hellman’s. Not particularly southern of me I know, but you like what you like.
I wouldn’t eat at Boston Market when McDonalds owned them. Don’t know if anything about the menu or ingredients changed, didn’t want to know.
Won’t get much argument from me but if it’s cook in a pit over hardwood by someone who has the slightest clue it’s all pretty good.
Duke’s is my mayo! It’s the only one I’ll use. It has a more tart, lemony taste, to me, than the others.
That’s fine by me, as long as you aren’t one of those Miracle Whip people. LOL
Sort of bland base for salad dressings is my understanding lol.
The wife is always right:)
It happened to you ONCE and it has never happened to me in 20 years.
.
Mayo with peanut butter or mayo and bananas - both horrible combinations. Poor kid having that combination as his first experience with mayo...
Basically mayo’s used so sandwiches can be made ahead of time and NOT have meats and fillings soak into the bread.
Well, whatever artificial chemical-laden ingredient Duke’s uses, my taste buds like it best, can’t argue with my taste buds :) But I do thank you for the information.
There was a Walmart up here that sold Duke’s, but no longer does. I’ll have to drop a hint to the manager to see if they will carry it again. You need some mayo on those sandwiches for sure.
It won’t ever happen to me again either because I won’t go in a Starbucks again......
I’m not going to pay $2.45 for a cup of black coffee...
When I was 11 we had gone out of town to attend my grandmothers funeral. We stayed with my Dad’s aunt and they fixed me a sammich with Blue Plate mayo. I had never tasted it and I thought I was gonna puke right then and there. When our kids were little my sister in law fixed ham sandwiches with Hellmans. It’s been Hellmans ever since. I buy Miracle Whip for the grands but I ain’t eating it anymore.:)
And that price I just quoted is off their website....
Hellmann’s or Burman’s mayo for me. Never been a Miracle Whip fan.
When we were kids that’s all we had (Miracle Whip) and I agree, I can’t stand it now. Hellmann’s house here.......;)
*ROFL*...Very good...
I’ve said it before on mayo threads and I’ll say it again.
Kewpie mayo is *the* greatest mayo on the market.
