Mayo vs. Mustard

[PerkyForHerky]

Ohh... Totally forgot about the miracle whip vs. "regular" mayo debate. Poll for another day. I actually like both. Please use them interchangeably for the poll.

THEY'RE NOT THE SAME THING

1 type of mustard is boring. I usually have 3-4 most of the time.

Mayo is nasty. Miracle whip on a sandwich is ok.

This makes no sense. Miracle whip is mayo with sugar and a couple of spices.

You don't get a pumpkin pie until you add some sugar and spice to the pumpkin. And no one would claim the 2 are the same.

 

[WorldSeriesChamps2015]

Neither, both are disgusting.

No it’s not...

Make my own mayo and it tastes better than Duke's which I used to use all the time.
If interested:
1 large egg
1and1/2 tbsp of no cal sugar. Can omit if you don't have a sweet tooth.
1 tbsp plus 1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey mustard
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of white pepper. Can use regular pepper if you don't mind black specks in mayo. I use regular.
1 cup of extra light tasting olive oil. I use Bertolli.

Use food processor.
Add first six ingredients. Beat five minutes on low.
Add olive oil. Beat five minutes on low.
Change to high. Beat five minutes.
Use spoon to stir and ensure that all of olive oil is incorporated. Beat five minutes. It becomes thicker if allowed to sit overnite in fridge.
Enjoy.
Of course don't have to beat that long but I do.

I was a Hellmann's guy for years. Tried Duke's and I liked the change up. It is a little extra lemony with maybe a hint of garlic. Got tired of that and back to Hellmann's, which is the gold standard for mayo.

So you use raw eggs or do you get the pasteurized kind?

Nothing beats Duke’s and it is lower in carbs than any other brand.

Well, we will just have to disagree I guess.

Mayo is nasty.

 

[beanerhawk]

A good burger has just mayo and mustard but no ketchup.

 

[WisestIowan]

I'm good with mayo or mustard but Miracle Whip is trash.

 

[Hawkeyenuts66]

Any type of mustard and real mayo. Miracle whip is the toxic waste of condiments.

Use EGG*LAND'S BEST. Doesn't say they are pasteurized on carton but I assume they are. Never have had upset stomach from them.
Hope some posters try recipe. You may never go back to bought mayo if you do. You control the quality of ingredients used.

I wouldn't assume that. At our local grocery stores, I have only seen on brand of pasteurized eggs, and they are about 2 to 3 times more expensive than regular eggs. With that said, the risk of salmonella poisoning is very low. And with that said, I managed to get it once from eggs. But that was almost 20 years ago so I'm less gun shy about runny eggs than I used to be.

I have seen that at Hy-Vee and it is super expensive. Typically when I try something like that I wish I had just gotten something normal. Do you think it is worth it?

Wife buys it on Thrive Market and its better priced there I hope. It is pretty good. I was raised on Miracle Whip but I do like some of the better/nicer mayo out there. Get dijon mustard from Trader Joes

OK. Will look for pasteurized next time.
