Mayonnaise Taste Test will SHOCK Datalounge to its core

Absolute horseshit.

In the pocket of Big Mayo!

Bahahahaha!

This thread WILL end in tears and more than likely permanent scars.

I can't get redrafted into the Mayo Wars, can I?

This person is a charlatan! As discussed many times before, we all now realize Duke's is the best all-around mayo ever.

Sir Kensington's is terrible, I agree.

Kewpie mayonnaise is absolutely disgusting, so that person's opinion has no validity.

The guy is correct. Hellmann's is the best. Glad that's settled.

Trader Joe's is also good.

I agree with some things...

I like Dukes specifically for sandwiches and wraps because of the tangy flavor but whenever I make homemade pimento cheese, chicken salad, glazes, etc... it has to be Kraft.

As much as I enjoy cooking and eating, I've never used mayonnaise on a regular basis. I prefer Hellman's, but a friend from New Orleans just gifted me a jar of Blue Plate, and I'll be eager to try it once my current jar of Hellman's is finished.

And this is a DL sin, but now that I think about it, I don't believe I've even so much as tasted Duke's Mayonnaise.

Love Hellman's, but Japanese mayo has all of them beat.

[quote]I don't believe I've even so much as tasted Duke's Mayonnaise

Has he tasted yours, r11?

duke's has some collard sandwich on their insta today. wtf? i must try out!

Kewpie’s the best.

Bring out the Hellman’s and bring out the best !

Miracle Whip isn’t mayonnaise strictly speaking. It’s like a salad cream. Too sweet.

I also question the writer’s taste level praising the revolting 365 Dijon mustard from Whole Foods. Okay if you want pure vinegar. That shit isn’t even made in France. Just go to Trader Joe’s and get the authentic thing for $2 a jar.

Dukes or Hellmans for me please.

[quote] "Has he tasted yours, [R11]?"

Ha! He has, R13. But...it's been a while.

In New England it's always been the law to eat Hellman's.

I tried Duke's for one jar. Too sour. I sometimes buy Kraft. IIRC, they were the first ones to offer olive oil mayo. I liked Whole Foods' mayo, too. I was surprised it wasn't #2. I wouldn't buy TJ's for fear I'd like it and they'd cancel it.

Hellmann's is the one I buy most often. I don't use mayo in many things, mostly tuna, and making dips with sour cream and herbs, but I'm not surprised Hellmann's is #1.

Kewpie mayo comes in different flavors. I've only ever had the one with the red packaging, which I think is the original, plain mayo. That one is good.

I agree that Miracle Whip is not a mayo.

only Hellman's. I avoid food prepared w/ mayonnaise as much as possible

Hellman's mayo is the perfect example of the public getting used to the worst product out there. Sir Kensington's which has by far the best ingredients, does not taste anything like anchovies. I try to get the avocado oil based version, it's superior the the regular one.,

I tried the Kensington ketchup and didn't like it. Maybe it is a matter of getting used to a certain flavor (Heinz).

Hellman's/Best Foods is my favorite, Dukes would be my second choice. I don't care for the sugar in Blue Plate.

This article is one person's opinion. It wasn't even one of those, a bunch of tried lots of mayo and voted.

Buy what you like - who cares what some Today rando likes.

Unilever brand buys mass media endorsement.

QUICK! Call the Mayo Clinic!!

that Whole Foods organic mayo is foul.

[quote]QUICK! Call the Mayo Clinic!!

“Oh Dr Over, I’ve got a Mr Hamm on line five.”

If it ain't Duke, it's puke.

I will say this, Hellman's is a good alternative if one can't find mayo royalty, The Duke.

^^ Said like a Prince!

I'm using a jar of Duke's now for the first time ever. Not impressed! Hellman's is best! Duke's is dookie! That will be all.

R11 Stores in Maryland sell both Duke's and Blue Plate if you're up for a short drive. They're both good. Duke's is fluffier and tangier and Blue Plate is very similar to Kraft.

The entire concept of "Sir Kensington’s Organic Mayonnaise," from the name to the labeling, is hilarious to me.

A brand of mayonnaise that was available for over one hundred years(until recently discontinued) here in Philly was Mrs. Schlorrer's. It was the first commercially available mayonnaise, started by its namesake, a housewife who began production in her home kitchen. It really took off and every Philadelphian of a certain age would be familiar with the name.

Other brands began to appear on the market, and Mrs. Schlorrer's lost shelf space in grocery stores, but it was always available because so many shoppers requested it. The company that discontinued it, Golden Barrel, stated they were doing so because of health risks. These risks don't seem to be stopping the many other companies making mayo available. I'm betting the reason is that after all these years it's lost its customer base. Sic transit gloria mundi.

I'm not a mayo guy at all, so I don't keep it on hand. If I need some for a recipe I'll by a small jar, usually Hellman's(since that seems to be the consensus as to quality) or just make a small batch myself.

MIRACLE WHIP MIRACLE WHIP MIRACLE WHIP. Real mayo tastes like it was keft out on the counter overnight and spoiled

There is no one best taste mayonnaise, just as there is no one Sexiest Man Alive. We are all individuals and have our own tastes and desires. I tried Duke based on the raves about it in here, while it looked richer and almost buttery compared to other mayonnaise, it was virtually tasteless to me, I ended up throwing it away. My experience doesn't mean that Duke isn't the best tasting mayonnaise to someone else.

r36 Miracle whip is just vile. It tastes like putrid goblin cum. How anyone can stand it is beyond me.

With Kewpies you can taste the yolk, that’s why it’s the best.

For the veg/vegans:

Hellmann's Vegan Baconnaise - Ambrosia in a bottle. Creamy, smoky mayo, excellent addition to sandwiches, salads, chips, raw veggie dip. Vegan and Kosher certified! Prefer it to Vegenaise, Sir Kensington's Vegan Mayo and American Garden eggless mayo.

When I was a kid I came home from school and there was nothing to eat in the house- meaning no cookies 🍪 or snik snacks so out of desperation I took a jar of Hellman’s Real Mayonnaise out of the refrigerator and ate a HEAPING tablespoon of Mayonnaise- eww 🤢

I appreciate there are more meatless and dairy free options for sale. But the sodium content is sky high in these products.

I love Dukes and Blue Plate...Hellmans not so much

I don't think I've had mayonnaise in a decade at least

Duke's is King.

Here is the blasphemer. I would never take mayo assistance from this person. It's Duke's or it's trash.

[quote]or snik snacks

WTF is wrong with you?

Hellmans' is my favorite. We used Dukes' in L.A. and didn't really notice a difference.

And Miracle Whip is just vile.

And vegan mayonnaise? Come on. Why even bother?

I'm excited to try Duke's. King Soopers, Denver's version of Kroger, started carrying it. I snapped up a jar when I was there last.

[quote] Duke's is King.

You were raised right son.

Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise. It's salad dressing and includes things that mayonnaise does not, such as water and sugar. It's considerably thinner in consistency than mayonnaise.

I bought a Sir Kensington product on sale (not mayo) which proves very disappointing, icky texture and little flavor.

This idiot included MIRACLE WHIP in the mayonnaise taste-off. Miracle Whip is NOT mayonnaise.

The whole opinion must be thrown out.

Back to Duke's.

Duke's and Hellman's both have a somewhat buttery flavor, which I much prefer. Kraft and others that are stark white don't interest me at all.

But overall I still like the mayonnaise I make myself. I can make any flavor I want, depending on what herbs I have available. A stick blender, an egg, some oil & spices, and a mason jar and you've got yourself some great homemade mayo.

I'll settle this. Give me a big glass of each, and I'll tell you which is the most drinkable.

Which one would be better on a dung beetle, Dukes or Hellman's?

[quote]Mayonnaise Taste Test will SHOCK Datalounge to its core

Dataloungers have cores?

Flabby, but they are in there.

I love the tang of Blue Plate. I'm in the South and grew up with it though, so maybe that's why. The other remind me of soft lard.

Is Duke’s even sold on the East coast? Does it taste like Hellman’s?

Duke’s first ingredient is soybean oil which is extremely unhealthy

I only like Miracle Whip light

Boar's Head Mayo is the best, followed by Hellman's.

This product sponsor placement was brought to you by Hellmans.

You can't beat Hellmans. Sometimes I use Dukes, when I'm in a pinch, and it's pretty good, but Hellmans is the best. I've never used it on my hair, though.

Who cares- I only eat Vegenaise .

R66-

Bring out the Hellmann’s and bring out the best!

Make your own mayonnaise, without sugar or weird ingredients and preservatives. It’s really simple and you‘ll never want for store-bought ever again.

Try Vegenaise. Never look back.

Anyone saying Hellmann’s without trying Dukes is disqualified

I prefer non Unilever mayonnaise while they keep giving money to Putin.

Have Duke's in the fridge now. Prefer Hellman's, but that's because that's what I grew up with, as ( I suppose) is the case with Duke's and Duke's lovers.

Kisses!

I like Blue Plate.

Bought a jar of Duke's which I will be trying when I finish the Hellman's jar in the fridge.

I want to try it because of all the raves it gets here.

I don’t think we have Duke’s available for purchase up here.

Miracle Whip is NOT mayonnaise, nor does it pretend to be. It advertises itself as 'salad dressing," and was conceived of as a cheaper [italic]alternative[/italic] to mayonnaise.

This would be like having a taste test for what is the best coffee and deciding the winner is Postum.

Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and an acid, either 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. The original Miracle Whip is produced using less oil compared to traditional mayonnaise, thus has around half of the calories. Due to added corn syrup it is also sweeter compared to mayonnaise.

I'm from the south. Dukes is king around here. Hellmans is a decent 2nd choice. But someone needs to tell the mook who wrote that article that Miracle Whip IS NOT mayonnaise. It's a salad dressing goddamnit!!

All that other slop he listed is garbage.

For vegans this is the best, Sir Kensington's Vegan Avocado Oil Mayo.

The name "Sir Kensington's" is ridiculous.

Hellman's is The Law in New England.

If you're putting any of that shit on pastrami I'm not enlisting in this fight.

Or ham and cheese.

The stores I go to all sell Hellman’s and Duke’s. I like Kraft better than either. But I usually just buy the store brand, it’s not that much of a difference to justify the price.

According to Dorie Greenspan, Julia Child's tuna sandwiches were made with Hellman's mayonnaise and Pepperidge Farm white bread. I've grown to like the richness (and sugar-free quality) of Duke's, though.

Dutchie is right. These days there's not much excuse for not making your own mayo. If you have a stick blender and the tall, thinnish plastic beaker that comes with it, you can just throw all the ingredients in at once, put the stick blender in touching the bottom, and gradually raise it when you see the strands of mayo-color forming. It takes all of 40 seconds from start to finish, and you can throw in garlic and whatever herbs or spices you like if you wish.

You can only do it if the container is not much wider than a measuring cup, otherwise the stick blender's reach isn't good enough.

r80 -- The hell it is.

In the Gulf South, Blue Plate is where it's at, mon frere.

Blue Plate is for trailer dwellers. It looks like melted white plastic.

Fat Whore thread.

I have not seen a best lubricant thread on Daralounge in years. But mayonnaise, chocolate, blueberries, all the time.

Virginia Mayo insists that she was the best spread!

I’m sorry but I just cannot give credence to a food writer whose greatest claim to fame is that he was Honey Boo Boo’s PR person.

Mayo is gross. I'm not surprised Miracle Whip wins.

These days, whatever is on sale is the best option.

DL mayonnaise thread always have a bunch of posters who say how easy it is to whip up a batch of mayo from scratch and how they always make it - never store bought. I’ve never known anyone who did this in real life. I guess I need to become acquainted with a more sophisticated class of people.

[quote]Mayonnaise is an emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and an acid, either vinegar or lemon juice.

I know that every fat whore on this thread owns a blender or a food processor.

Making a small batch of Mayo for a few sammiches or whatever should be your go to rather than grabbing an ancient bottle of commercial crap of any name.

Datalounge has a core?

I have three small jars of Duke's in the pantry because I caught it on sale, but IMO, I have decided it doesn't have as much flavor as Hellman's. Our stores just don't seem to carry small jars of Hellman's and I end up throwing it out. I hate to be wasteful.

1-2-3…And there he is.

I've made my own fresh Mayonnaise a few times and it is really wonderful.

r99, it's less of a core and more of a soft, squishy center. Like a Mallo Cup.

Mama always used Miracle Whip instead of Mayonnaise. Yes call it a salad dressing. But no matter, it is what she used on her potato salad and that potato salad was her crowning glory. It was the hit of any gathering, and much requested.

We use Blue Plate, made in New Orleans, or homemade.

R97 it is infinitely easier & cheaper to whip up your own mayonnaise than paying the ridiculous prices they charge for it in the stores. I use a stick blender (one of the best kitchen implements I've ever bought) and a pint mason jar and in less than 2 minutes I've got some of the best tasting mayonnaise you could ever want. One pint of home made mayo costs less than a dollar.

This year, we invited twenty top Southern chefs to our offices and asked them to determine the best store-bought mayonnaise in a blind taste test. Duke’s obviously, right? Not so fast. What brand was the chefs’ favorite?

Duke’s and Hellmann’s tied with seven votes each. (Though it should be noted that fifteen chefs stated before testing that their go-to brand was Duke’s.)

For Vivian Howard, the winner was plain to see: “Duke’s has that thigh jiggle,” she said, shaking the sample bowl. Others relied more on their taste buds. “Duke’s has great salt and it’s really flavorful,” said Steven Satterfield. Katie Button agreed: “Mmm. It has more flavor—it’s more savory with less sugar.” (Indeed; there is no added sugar in Duke’s, and the acid is supplied by a blend of distilled and cider vinegar.) For Shuai Wang, fragrance was the first giveaway; he studiously sniffed each sample, and only then tasted them. “Duke’s is more eggy.”

Hellmann’s, the perennial national best-seller, earned raves for its mild quality and creamy texture. “I like the fact that’s it’s balanced,” said Ashley Christensen. The acid in Hellmann’s comes from lemon-juice concentrate instead of vinegar. Griffin Bufkin praised that “lemony” flavor, while for Brandon Carter, it evoked childhood memories: “This is what I grew up on.” “I guess I’m a Hellmann’s guy after all,” said a surprised Meherwan Irani.

I saw about 10 minutes of Rosalynn Carter's funeral. Her grandson Jason's eulogy. it was very sweet. He said Rosalynn was a typical Southern grandmother. "All her recipes included mayonnaise."

Mayonnaise is the mother sauce of the south.

Oh my God, Blue Plate changed their label.

Please PLEASE

It’s Hellmann’s

H E L L M A N N’s

Two els, two ens.

Blue Plate is the best. I love steak fries with mayonnaise, and Blue Plate squeaks out a victory over Duke's.

And on anything else, too.

Kewpie

For those of you who make your own Mayonnaise, which oil do you use in the preparation? I'm perfectly capable of making my own Mayo, but I've never found an oil that didn't leave a strong taste.

Don't they recommend grape see, avocado, or safflower oil if you're making mayo?

R115, Thanks; I haven't tried any of those. Olive and peanut oil are the ones I've tried, and I didn't care for the taste.

ROFL!

Duke's is #7!!!!!

Kraft is my favorite and it was #4. I'll get #1, Hellman's, if it's on sale, though. Or the store brand. I'm not that picky. I've never gotten the hooplah about Duke's. To me it's nothing special at all.

I’ve never noticed a big difference in mayonnaise brands.

So sue me.

R97 My mom would whip up homemade mayo all the time so it must have been somewhat easy to make. I was a kid and hated it, preferring Best Foods-Hellman's over anything else. It's all just a matter of personal preference and sometimes your age-related sophistication of palate.

In the larger scope of things, there are many people spending a lot of time and energy discussing these silly "problems" so they can distract others away from real problems ... like the number of children blown to bits in Gaza.

So hey, howzabout we discuss that danged War on Christmas~!

I use plain ol' corn oil to make my mayonnaise.

I'm glad they included Kraft. It's supplanted Hellmann's as my favorite in recent years.

It has a nice tang and lightness.

Kewpie is best. The Siracha Kewpie is amazing on fried chicken.

R119, we're discussing silly problems in addition to real ones, not instead of. Reality bites.

Being from the South, Blue Plate holds a special place in my heart. But honorable mention goes to both Hellmann's and Heinz. They make excellent mayos.

Member's Mark (Sam's Club) has a great gallon-size "extra heavy duty" mayonnaise that spreads wonderfully onto bread. Reminds me a lot of Burger King mayo yet not as tangy.

How is this shocking?

New here?

I was in Sam's Club this morning and they have the gallon size Blue Plate jars as well as the smaller size.

Big ol' jars 'cause folks love it!

Mayo is very easy make.

Why would you ruin good fried chicken with any condiment?

R129 Fried Chicken without either hot sauce or honey drizzled on it, is just wrong!

R119 are we suppose to not go about our day because a war is happening. It's the holiday season. Just go along with it. Let's talk mayo!... I use to sell Mexican corn on the street and my customer base was Black ppl. They would ask me why the corn tasted so good, it has to be Miracle Whip the would guess. But I'd take out the jar of Hellmanns and they'd be flabbergasted. But even that wasn't true, I'd go to Aldi when stocking up and I'd buy the mayo there and put it in hellmann jars. Aldi has some good products! Ppl didn't notice

The Trader Joe’s mayonnaise I tried based on one of these fake ‘best mayonnaise’ lists was made with soybean or canola oil, which gave it a distinct and unwelcome fishy taste.

Yuck.

I like Dukes, Hellman’s and Blue Plate. And Miracle Whip when visiting my parents. I’m mayonnaise promiscuous.

[quote] Fried Chicken without either hot sauce or honey drizzled on it, is just wrong!

I agree. I can't eat meat any longer, but I learned the distinct pleasure of hot sauce on fried chicken around 60 years ago.

Since any self-respecting people make their own mayonnaise, I assume this entire thread is here for camp value and inadvertently sad admissions of a life lived low.

Let's do a blind taste test with your homemade mayo, R134. If yours doesn't win, you must commit suicide as any self-respecting person would.
