Miracle Whip or Mayo????

colklnk38 · 10-10-2005, 05:40 PM

Which do you like best? I prefer miracle whip!

mamagiff · 10-10-2005, 05:42 PM

Mayo - MW is too sweet for me.

Hildebeest · 10-10-2005, 05:43 PM

Mayo, all the way, for me; Miracle Whip has sugar in it.

Really, though, I have never liked Miracle Whip; my mother instilled an unreasonable prejudice when I was a kid. She got me hooked on mayo, then made lots of unhappy noise whenever she screwed up and grabbed the wrong jar at the grocery store. "Oh no, I BOUGHT MIRACLE WHIP!" was a dreaded cry in our household about twice a year.

Mom's always been a good bit farsighted.

Hmm. I would like to say first of all that since I don't like MW, I am probably not the best person to answer this question. I'd think, though, that if you experimented with adding a little splenda and a teensy bit of vinegar to mayo, you might come up with a reasonable sugar-free facsimile.

I am sure that the more experienced kitchen-chemist MW lovers have an exact recipe for you.

thanks, I am going to make some deviled eggs and I love them with mw.

i put splenda in mayo for my husband. he was a MW guy and he says mayo + splenda tastes just like MW.

to make low carb "miracle whip"

mix 1 cup mayo, 2 TB vinegar, 2 TB splenda

got that from one of the posts here a long time ago, tastes great and much better than miracle whip in a jar!

Mayo for me! My calorie watching mom always used MW, and I didn't like it! I was just a mustard girl until I tasted the real thing. . .mayo!

dizneegirl · 10-11-2005, 01:09 PM

Never did like Miracle Whip... nothing but the "real thing" for me!

sherrymyra · 10-15-2005, 07:15 PM

I grew up on mw. After trying lowcarb, on and off, now on again, I learned to absolutely love mayo. I can't stand mw. I can eat mayo off the spoon. yum.

Charski · 10-15-2005, 07:20 PM

Mayo here and ONLY Best Foods (aka Hellmans) for me!

The ONLY thing I ever used MW for was a "heavenly hash" fruit salad, full of mini marshmallows, pineapple, apple, banana, and Mandarin oranges, plus full sugar coconut - needless to say I no longer make THAT so MW does not hold a spot in my fridge these days....

Mayo. Never could abide the taste of MW. I figure I am a minority in that opinion.

PiDevil · 10-17-2005, 08:36 AM

Mayo! MW is

jokath · 10-17-2005, 09:23 AM

Mayo!!

staceeee · 10-17-2005, 10:25 AM

Miracle Whip is the bomb! Oh...and for those of you that love deviled eggs like me...here's a way to get extra protein in your eggs. Add some cooked lobster to your eggs and Miracle Whip before filling them into the whites! You are gonna love it!

ScrapDragon · 10-17-2005, 02:56 PM

I love mayo and I love MW.

Deviled eggs, egg salad are just not "right" unless they are made with heavy restaurant mayo (the type you buy at B.J.'s in the 40-gallon-drum)!!

I used to love MW-sandwiches. Nothing but cheap white bread and MW - yummmm! Oh, and canned asparagus is just not the same unless it can be dipped into MW.

BLTs just aren't the same w/o MW, but I gave it up to try and avoid sugar.
