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.
20 percent of us find it disgusting. https://www.popsci.com/mayonnaise-disgust/
Uh oh…
Don’t tell me…
Mayo for hot sandwiches, miracle whip for cold deli, that’s my strat
Absolutely not.
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.
I don’t know whether to upvote you for the “let’s put on this food some egg+vaseline mixture that someone left in the sun” experience of mayonnaise” or downvote you for the slight against bananas
Well I mean… it is my people’s beverage of choice
CHUG!

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
I see a few responses on here about “miracle whip”. For those ignoramuses amongst us, what is this thing?
It’s a brand name for a “whipped dressing” product. It’s similar in color and texture to mayonnaise, but it has a different flavor. It’s usually vegetarian ingredients, as opposed to mayo which uses egg
When I was growing up, my mother thought it was healthier, so we never had mayo. So I was used to the flavor of Miracle Whip and generally prefer it.
Thanks, it’s a new one on me
It’s “mayonnaise” with “flavor” added to it. And it’s gross as fuck.
It’s so much better than mayo, because a little hit of lemon juice giving it some flavor, some tartness, instead of the congealed snot of mayonnaise
I always thought it was like a Mr Whippy, but I’m guessing not from this thread! Maybe it’s like salad cream?
As margirine is to butter…
Essentially Americanized mayo. Cheaply produced and processed in massive quantities with lots of added sugar. Personally I find it disgusting (why would you want something savory so sweet?!) But my American grandfather loves it. If you would like to imagine it’s flavor, imagine mixing vanilla ice cream with normal mayo.
It’s one of those American staples that is a cheaper, more readily available, version of European staples that the American public continues to love and eat out of familiarity. American chocolate is similar, though more popular amongst younger Americans. I’d say miracle whip is less popular because quality mayo is now also readily available and very few prefer the cheap imitation. Quality chocolate is still much harder to find thus American chocolate remains popular.
Huh. My experience as an American is never having seen “quality” mayo, but switched to only quality chocolate decades ago
Interesting, thanks!
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 it’s not an instrument.
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.
I like it on sandwiches, but need only a LITTLE bit. It’s very easy to have too much and then have a slimy sandwich
Properly made mayonnaise, with decent mustard? Fuck yeah.
My issue is just when meh mayo goes on everything. Butter usually tastes better.
I love mayo. Maybe you should try hummus.
I used to it eat a lot of it as a child. But now that I think more about nutrition it is a rare treat for me. I don’t buy it nor keep any at my home, because if I buy it I’ll eat it. If I go out and eat fries I’ll usually eat them with mayonnaise. I do like the taste, especially in egg sandwiches.
On some level I like it but I mostly hate it.
A microscopically thin layer on a few select sandwiches is appropriate and delicious to me.
Anything more than a teaspoon and it becomes overwhelming and cloying.
I really think for the most part, mayonnaise has become a crutch for bad cooks. You really do not need to just add essentially pure fat to make food taste good, that’s not necessary unless you are lazy and cheap.
I find eating excess amounts of fat and oil to be disgusting and nauseating.
It’s one of those things that I find good to eat a little bit if it’s with other food, but too much makes it nasty. Same way with pickles, relish, sauerkraut. Great topping to add flavor, terrible as the main flavor of a dish/meal
vinegar is the culprit. its gut rot for me.
There’s bad mayonnaise out there, like a lot of bad. I prefer to put it on my fries. It’s very delicious.
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.
Where I used to live a favorite was fries with mayonnaise and cheese powder.
