why is Duke's the best Mayonnaise? see How It's Made

Dukes (C.F. Sauer Co.) is literally down the road from home for me (6 miles), and I've always wondered if they offer tours.

If so, I'm going to take one, then post pictures just to irritate all the people here who didn't get to go!

😁😁😁

Duke's has a nasty yellowish color and I know my family will hate me for saying it but since I got educated, I prefer the refined whiteness of Hellmans.

Miracle Whip is the LGBT, Non Binary, ejaculate of the salad dressing isle.

For years, my wife has put down Duke's as disgusting. We've known each other for 30 years as of this year and I only recently discovered WHY.

Because she can't stand yellow in food stuff.

That's it.

I added one more thing to my Eye Roll List when I found this out.

By the way...

If Miracle Whip is "the LGBT, Non Binary, ejaculate of the salad dressing isle", then what does that make the yellow Duke's?
 
On one hand this is a fascinating video about manufacturing processes...
But then there's all the mayo... uck!
 
OK...everybody's favorite unsweetened tea drinking Yankee here to stir the pot and generally raise some hate and discontent.


All you French-ridiculing guys sure get bent out of shape over something that was invented by a French chef.

Honestly, the only thing I care about with respect to mayonnaise is that there is something in the fridge that kinda looks and tastes like it. In other words, whatever my wife likes. And darned if I can remember which it is, because in the end it won't matter: if I buy it, it'll end up not being the right one and I'll have to listen to her endlessly b**** about it long after she's thrown it out and got whatever it is she gets.

About the only thing I use it for is a BLT anyway. Sometimes some other sammich if the mood strikes me.

Miracle Whip isn't even mayonnaise anyway. It's a "dressing". It was created by Kraft in the early 1930s as an inexpensive alternative to mayonnaise. During the Depression Era. When people didn't have squat for money and were going around singing "Brother Can You Spare A Dime". It doesn't take a genius to see why Miracle Whip soon outsold all the brands of mayonnaise in existence at the time. It was similar, it was affordable, it was even sweeter (a bonus when even sugar is a major expense for rare treats during the Depression).

If you want real mayonnaise from Kraft they have "Real Mayo". It ain't Miracle Whip.


I look at mayo like I do other foods, having literally traveled around the world to who knows how many different countries since I first joined the Navy back in '85. If I visit some other place, I want to see what THEY have. It's a complete waste of time for me to go someplace and INSIST that I will only eat/drink what I can find back home. Like all the stupid dumb***** on liberty in foreign ports who only want to find a place that serves Budweiser. Find some local foods and drinks; you can swill on what you grew up on when you get back home.

In Louisiana I hear the mayo of choice is Blue Plate. New England area it's Cains. Japan it's Kewpie. In France it's hard to find mayo without a touch of Dijon in it and it's damned good.


ALL THAT SAID...it all boils down to personal taste. If you like mayo, great. If you don't like mayo, also great. If you like Brand X exclusively, then don't frickin' buy Brands A, B, and C.

One thing you can be absolutely sure about this Yankee, though...if I come over to your house for dinner, I'm going to eat whatever it is you fix and I'm going to have something of everything. If there's something I don't like, I just won't get any when I go back for seconds. Because that's the way I was raised.


Since @Chdamn doesn't like mayo at all, here's a link with a bit of humor on the subject.

I'm going to sit back and watch the fun while sipping my unsweetened tea, now.

Mayonnaise is disgusting, and science agrees

A lot of Americans can’t stand mayonnaise, here’s a look at why.

@RetiredUSNChief
I’ll start out the rebuttals with only positives.

1. I too have traveled to the four corners of the earth. Was a time I needed a caddy just to carry my passport. When visiting a new place, one of my first stops would be a grocery store. I was always curious about what was on offer and even how many of “our” brands were on shelves. There was almost always Tobasco, no matter where I was.

2. I don’t remember where but I was in a pub or cafe and asked the fellow what kinda beer he had. He recited the list and stressed Budweiser. I hissed, “I didn’t come all the way over here to drink Budweiser!!!!!”. He laughed and said, “This is the ‘real’ Budweiser”. He was right.

I hope it didn't come out wrong when I said only a true southerner could appreciate Dukes mayonnaise.
No slam intended if some took it personal.

No worries from me on this! I rarely take anything personal on this site. If I do, I'll either address it respectfully, or maybe PM a person about it.

The only reason why I don't eat Dukes at home is because my Southern wife can't stand it and won't buy it. If she had it in the fridge and I wanted some mayo, I'd eat it!

Fries with HP sauce, yum.

Fries with the original, unaltered HP sauce (prior to 2011)...even yummier.

I think they also changed the sweetener ingredients to use HFCS in place of some, probably the sugar. I can't find this online, though, but I seriously doubt the original 1895 recipe had HFCS in it, as this was first marketed in the early 1970s. Currently the sweeteners used are molasses, glucose-fructose syrup, and sugar.

You can add about 2 grams of salt to the current HP Sauce and restore the salt content to the original, but I'm not sure how the HFCS change will affect the flavor afterwards. Probably be closer than it currently is, though.

I've only recently discovered this wonderful culinary contribution from the UK. I was pleasantly surprised with how good it is.

Who would have thought that a land where beans and toast is a breakfast would have created something this good. 😃

With proper Heinz beans that aren't candy in a can, beans on toast is fantastic

Marmite and Vegemite are fantastic, too, but people in the States simply aren't used to it and it's not what they think it should be for a spread.

I prefer New Zealand's Marmite (by Sanitarium Health and Wellbeing Co.) over the UK's Marmite (by Unilever).

I'm thinking of using some as a beef broth substitute for my Vegan daughter.

Which reminds me, I need to get some more. I'm out.
