Pogo ftw!
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
Has anyone tried grape-seed mayo ? It only comes refrigerated, but it is also very good. Like homemade.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I prefer the taste and texture of Duke's, though i rate Hellman's a close 2nd. Of course, I was raised in a Miracle Whip family, so you should perhaps take my opinion in the matter with a grain of salt (and perhaps a grind of pepper, squeeze of lemon, and a healthy dash of hot sauce too!)
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I'm both a mustard person and a mayo person, though you wouldn't know it from looking in my refrigerator. I have 4 types of mustard and even pickled mustard seeds and just one lonely, rather old container of mayo. I really only use it in pimento cheese and egg salad (which also gets a solid mustard treatment). If I had to choose only one, it'd be mustard. Though I'd miss the mayo for my fries.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
Tex - when i make a sandwich, i like put a schmear of Gulden's atop my mayo - on both sides of the bread. if pressed to choose between condiments, i think i'd choose mustard. and i don't have a favorite: dijon, spicy, yellow, grainy, gimme all the mustards.
however, this is mayogate, and i'm partial to Duke's for the aforementioned reasons.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
If you're intent on being a mayonnaise snob, you really should make your own, but if you want to be a lazy mayonnaise snob you can probably justify using anything you like, up to and including Miracle Whip. Of course, if unsweetened mayonnaise tastes weird to you you can always sprinkle some sugar on your tomato sandwiches to compensate.
That said, the only mayonnaise they sell at Costco in less than a vat size is Duke's, which happens to be a perfectly servicable mayonnaise--especially for pimiento cheese.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
When I first made mayonnaise, I didn't like it because it did not taste like Hellman's. ( The recipe did not call for any sweetener.) I thought I was doing something wrong. Then I tasted Duke's. It tasted homemade.I use both now. Duke's for sandwiches and I have to use Hellman's for potato salad and layered salad.
Nicki. Try adding a couple of drops of ballpark mustard to the Hellman's Light in addition to the lemon. Also, if you gently heat it, it makes a pretty good low-fat Hollandaise.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I originally took exception to your comment that using Duke's wasn't "southern". Duke's is originally from SC, while Hellman's originated in a deli in NYC, and Kraft is based out of Chicago.
I'm not a big mayo person, but when I do use it I use Duke's. I don't like the added sweetness of the others, and I think that Duke's has more of a rich, yolky taste. (Hence the more like homemade comment).
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I'm a Duke's user, now that I know, but I have to say, I really still like Hellman's. I even think the light Hellman's is acceptable, with a squeeze of lemon added.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
You've got mayonnaise people and mustard people and seldom do they meet or agree condimentation. I'm a mustard people and would rather set my chest on fire than eat mayo of any type. Mayo on french fries, that's disgusting, no way to start a day.
Heavily infused horse radish mustard....MAN!!! Thats a condiment!!!!
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
I'm a very loyal fan of Hellmann's and will never ever ever use Kraft. Never tried Duke's but I guess I'll have to in the name of mayogate research. I'll throw another one in the mix with Bama Mayonnaise. That's my true favorite, but hard to find in TN.
Re: “Mayogate: The Mayo Debate Rages on Twitter”
Hellman’s Mayo, along with New Balance shoes and Louisiana Hot Sauce, is once of the few things I'm brand loyal to.
