Janie Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Miracle Whip is Satan's sloppy seconds. http://theoatmeal.co...og/miracle_whipPutting mayo on a sandwich is like putting Maroon 5 on your turntable. Wretching is inevitable. I'd rather eat a dry sandwich than put that sweet crap on it. I can't even figure out what kind of chemistry produces that taste. At least with mayonnaise you know the tangy flavor comes from the lemon and salt. You can make mayonnaise easily at home (and homemade mayo is awesome). Unless you work in a lab, you can't replicate Miracle Whip. Mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip seems to be a regional thing. My husband grew up eating Miracle Whip in the midwest. I've converted him to mayonnaise.My husband was also a MW fan but I do the grocery shopping and insist on buying only tasty, edible food. Like you Mara, I also think MW is way too sweet and has an off-chemical taste. And it has this weird shine to it. I think I accidentally insulted my MIL once by making a, "MW is nasty" comment. They grew up eating that stuff. But then I showed her all the onions I had in my pantry and all was better. Edited March 15, 2014 by Janie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that I have an iPhone, I can text her for onion recipes! She'll be here next month. I will be going to Costco before her arrival and buy a very massive bag of onions. (For the record, I actually really like my MIL. We talk every weekend or every other weekend for hours.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I grew up eating salad dressing. That stuff that kind of looks like mayonnaise but isn't? My mom used to put that on everything. Weird stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenJennings Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 There's a time and place for each. You tell me your sandwhich fix'n's, I'll tell you which to use. I'm a Guru at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 On the whole, my favorite 'sandwich spread', if I could only have one, would be Hellman's mayo. Not Kraft mayo. Not Heinz mayo. And though some are occasionally alright, I'm not going to risk any off-brand mayo either. Hellman's or bust. In fact, if I can't get Hellman's, I'll probably go Miracle Whip over anything else. But again, there's a time and place for each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushchick10 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I actually would rather not have either. BUT, if I had to choose it would be Miracle Whip. Mayo makes me gag. I've called and complained to drive-thrus where I have SPECIFICALLY requested no mayo (because I'd rather eat a dry sandwich) and the person ignored my request and put mayo on anyways. Vile, nasty, putrid stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Do you people who like MW use it in things like potato salad? I can't imagine anything yuckier, except maybe egg salad with MW. I think maybe the only way to make an egg nastier is to mash it all up with MW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you could put it in egg salad but I don't eat egg salad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo73 Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Miracle Whip is putrid lolMy in laws use the fat free MW. It's literally gray in color. It even SMELLS gray, if that makes sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vile, nasty, putrid stuff. I'm with you! Except that I might choose to starve instead of choosing to eat one or the other, because they both gross me out so thoroughly that I'd be afraid eating either one would make me puke to death anyway! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John V Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I have not tasted Miracle Whip since i was a kid. I think my mom bought it sometimes as it might have been on sale.To be honest, I think MW and mayo were interchangeable back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe the only way to make an egg nastier is to mash it all up with MW. I VERY rarely eat potato salad, macaroni salad or egg salad. IF I eat potato salad, it has to be the mustard variety. The others I just REFUSE to eat. Oh, and coleslaw is out of the question as well. Any of those creamy "salads" run the risk of having mayo in them and that's just f-ing gross. And, I don't make them at home. Just not a huge fan. I will make my own chicken or tuna salad at home, but I replace the mayo with plain greek yogurt instead. Much healthier for you and I don't really notice a taste difference because I use spices like paprika, dill, curry, etc. to pep up the flavor anyway.
