    Great. I was afraid I'd be alone here after I banned all the mayonnaise eaters.

    I have never heard of Miracle whip but just reading about it makes me want to Gag! ( sugar in it?...yuk!!! ) Mayo all the way here... but I like honey and mustard dressing on my salads... I use Mayo mainly to dip things in like ..chips ( french fries to you guys)...rather than tomato ketchup .. or make a tuna and mayo sandwich.. , or a smoked salmon or trout sandwich will always taste nicer with a little thin spread of Mayo...

    I hate salad cream as well .. too vinegary.

    When I was the Chef at a processing plant in Alaska, I and my crew had to feed 1500 people 4 times a day. Out of all of them the only one I had to order anything special for was the Asst. Supervisor of the plant. The order? Two cases of commercial Miracle Whip for his 3 1/2 months stay. That's almost a quart and a half of the stuff per week.

    Can anyone in the congregation give me an "ugh"? And all the congregation said...…...ugh! .

    Actually, mayonnaise contains sugar. Miracle Whip has high-fructose corn syrup. So they both include sweeteners.

    I know all the rest of you can't help it but with @Yvonne Smith and @Bobby Cole living in the south, I would think they would know that the only thing fit to spread on a sandwich is Dukes Mayonnaise. All that other stuff is for people who don't know any better. ;)

    How about a pita pocket to contain the squish.

    OK, but how do you get the Miracle Whip in there, and evenly spread out? :( ;)

    Dukes IS the best mayo there is but now I might have an ought with it. It’s small, it’s petty and possibly even a bit idiotic but the last jar I had said it was made in Pennsylvania or Massachusetts or somewhere up north.
    It’s like getting a German beer made in Hawaii or finding out Santa Claus and his elves moved to Tahiti.

    It’s simply un-southern like and everyone knows that it takes a lot of egg yolks to make a good mayo and the best eggs by far come from grits fed chickens born below the Mason-Dixon line.

    We use Hellman's mayo and absolutely nothing else. I will sometimes dip my French fries in this mayo. I should do a Thread on, what some would call "odd" or "WHAT???", foods that I ate that my grandma ate. Think they were definitely Southern.

    I think that is because they cannot market it as mayonnaise since it has sugar in it, but "salad dressing" is a generic term that covers almost anything from oil and vinegar to stuff with buttermilk in it...and spoiled (bleu/blue) cheese.

    My wife has become a big user of mayo as a dip for things since she can no longer eat dairy-based things.

    None of the mayo I eat or buy has any sweeteners in it at all. I often make my own and use only the yolks, then use the whites for macaroons, a cookie my wife can eat.
