I hate it.
You can love mayo, you can hate Mayo. Both are totally acceptable.
If you consider miracle whip to be good however…that is a crime that must be punished.
They’re not the same thing? As a hater of mayo, I’ve always thought they were
*Mayonnaise is made of oil, eggs, and vinegar (or lemon juice).
*Miracle Whip is made from water, soybean oil, high-fructose corn syrup, vinegar, modified corn starch, eggs, salt, natural flavor, mustard flour, potassium sorbate, spice, and dried garlic.
Changed the ingredients because the source said sugar and not corn syrup. Miracle whip is basically a science experiment to make super cheap mayo. It’s like comparing cheddar cheese to American cheeze. One just isnt right.
It’s sounds like Miracle Whip is the better of the two…
Miracle Whip is like a sweeter mayo. Unless you were born and raised with it, then you’ll likely hate it.
Mayonnaise can be made simply by emulsifying oil into egg yolks. It’s super easy to make if you want, and it’s easy to modify by adding spices or seasonings. You don’t eat it by itself, but it’s fantastic for use in baking, mashed potatoes, sandwiches, sauces, and dips.
Mayo is primarily an ingredient for use on something else. You would never eat flour by itself, just like you’d never eat straight mayo by itself.
I thought I hated mayonnaise. Turns out I didn’t know Miracle Whip wasn’t mayonnaise. I hate Miracle Whip.
20 percent of us find it disgusting. https://www.popsci.com/mayonnaise-disgust/
Mayo for hot sandwiches, miracle whip for cold deli, that’s my strat
Absolutely not.
Uh oh…
Don’t tell me…
Normal mayo (like Hellmann’s or Heinz) is fine and all, but goddamn Kewpie mayo is the shit. It’s easily top 3 readymade condiments in our fridge; we’ve always got a bottle on the go!
The only kind I use.
I have been trying to find a reason to get it and try it. You are that reason.
Kewpie is the reason I’m the mayo monster. I love it in my sandwiches, salads, sushi and ramen. It has an incredibly rich, savory, nutty flavour.
You’re making a great decision! It’s more expensive than regular mayo but jeez is it worth every penny. We have a Korean shop near us which stocks it at lower prices than regular supermarkets, so we go and stock up occasionally
Is it actually different? I thought it was just a different brand. It’s not like miracle whip, right?
It’s absolutely different, a much deeper and more umami flavour! We used to just use it for Asian type dishes that called for it but it’s so good that we’ve essentially replaced normal mayo with it at this point
PREACH
Would you like some slime on your sandwich
No I wouldn’t thanks tho
We should start a cult for people who don’t like mayyonise
Wait so you don’t like any condiment on your sandwich? They’re all slime.
Mayo just adds a particular texture. High protein and a little bit greasy which is great for certain foods.
Incorrect. The ones that are paste, I like fine. Jam or mustard or hot sauce, fine. Those are all human consumable texture and flavor combinations. The “let’s put on this food some egg+vaseline mixture that someone left in the sun” experience of mayonnaise is one I can skip though.
I also strongly dislike the texture of bananas going all mushy while I’m “chewing” them, to the point that I don’t eat them, so maybe it’s just a me issue. That is my feeling though.
It ruins my Spicy Chicken Sandwich from Wendy’s whenever I forget to specify “no mayo”.
Yeah, I stopped getting it because even when I remembered to say “no mayo”, they’d still pile it on
I think mayonnaise is so easy and cheap to make at home I don’t know why people buy it in a store.
I can buy a fat jar that lasts a long time for like $3.
Not only does Mayo make things like sandwiches better but you can combine it with various other flavors for deliciousness. E.g. garlic or spicy aioli.
Sriracha mayo is awesome with burgers, fries, tater tots, etc
Glad to see. I’m not the only one.
You take nasty ass uncooked eggs, Mix them up with some oil and a splash of vinegar, lemon juice and mustard. How does that not sound appetizing?
- Some dick head in 18 Dickety 4 or whenever they invented that shit probably
Get the fuck out of my life Mayo, and fuck your cousin aioli trying to sneak into my sandwiches as well.
Food is food
Agreed
I think it’s not an instrument.
It makes for a decent replacement of butter on grilled cheese
I agree.
Also, username checks out.
I don’t understand this. Is there some sort of trick or do I just prefer buttery flavor? I’ve tried mayo on grilled cheese twice so far: while I suppose it toasts nicely, it’s just nowhere near as good as butter. It’s just toast with cheese
It’s aioli that someone figured out how to sell before they finished making it
It’s ok on burgers and sandwiches, but otherwise I don’t care much for it.
I agree that’s mostly where it belongs. Taste-wise it can fall between “fine” and “pretty good” but its strength is as food lube, an enhancement for (often bready) food that would be unpleasantly dry without it.
There’s bad mayonnaise out there, like a lot of bad. I prefer to put it on my fries. It’s very delicious.
Where I used to live a favorite was fries with mayonnaise and cheese powder.
Arctic Circle in Utah gave out fry sauce (aka fancy sauce). It’s just mayo and ketchup, but it was so popular all of the local chains started providing it as well (McDonald’s, Wendy’s, 5 guys). The better ones generally splash a bit of BBQ as well.
My favourite use for mayo is as a butter substitute specifically for making grilled cheese sandwiches. It fries up really nice on the bread because it’s eggy
Exactly what I came to say.
Someone who fries a grilled cheese with butter is making an inferior sandwich.
