<p>If I had as hectic a schedule as some of the moms and dads who pop in to the Parent Cafe, there is no way I would be considering making homemade mayo. Nor would I probably feel I had the time to always make sure I was getting the best deal on a clothing item, although that might be more worth it because it is a little more $ we’re talking about than mayo. And some come home and make full on spiffy meals regularly, too. I don’t know where they get the energy. I am impressed.</p>
<p>I really like Vegenaise. It’s a good choice for those who must limit cholesterol. BB, I’ve been around long enough that I recall you once commenting about it positively, but of course I realize that people’s tastes and taste preferences can change!</p>
<p>zipyourlips, that’s right! Oops. I was thinking about Cool Whip (which was mentioned earlier in the thread, but is not a mayo immitation priduct at all!) - the veggie spread is actually fine, as long as one does not expect it to taste exactly like egg-based mayo. :)</p>
<p>Oh
My
Goodness.</p>
<p>I just found a store here in Michigan that sells Duke’s!!! Sorry, got to run…it’s a commute, but it’s worth it.</p>
<p>I’m just thinking how wonderful those leftover turkey sandwiches are going to be this year.</p>
<p>^^Where?</p>
<p>^^ I sent you a message, 3bm103. I don’t want to start a run on the Duke’s supply in Michigan before I get some.</p>
<p>Another vote for it’s not mayo without eggs. </p>
<p>I am neutral on GMOs as I don’t completely understand it, but it is very interesting that the Just Mayo is being marketed as GMO - free, if the backers beleive GMOs to be harmless.

<p>To my understanding virtually all rapeseed/canola is GMO, just as virtually all yellow corn is.

<p>Miracle Whip was invented as a cheaper alternative to mayonnaise, and I think a whole generation of Depression babies foisted it on their families. I didn’t even know there was such a thing as “real” mayo until my fiance took a bite of a turkey sandwich the day after Thanksgiving at our house and nearly gagged. Since the I’ve only used Hellmans, and I agree that whatever the “Just Mayo” folks are peddling, it ain’t mayonnaise.</p>
<p>It must have been a while since I had mayo or any mayo-like spread… since we don’t eat sandwiches.</p>
<p>Baby kiddo said she got fed up with mayo during her 2 years of living abroad - it was added to virtually every dish except desserts! </p>
<p>I agree with all the “it’s not mayo” people. </p>
<p>Neither is miracle whip.</p>
<p>^ But Miracle Whip doesn’t have mayo in it’s name. </p>

Krispy Kreme has migrated a heckuva lot further than over the Mason Dixen. It’s on the other side of the Pacific. U shd see how long the lines of customers are in Bangkok, for a box of those guilty delights. 8-> </p>
<p>I think it depends on what you grew up eating. DH ate Dukes and I ate Miracle Whip. Both of us think the other tastes yucky. So we buy both. 
</p>
<p>Yuck to Miracle Whip…when my mother married my stepfather , this is where my sisters and I had the only adjustment problems 
But I grew up in Mass where people generally bought Cains . I got used to not having access to it.
I really only use mayo when I am making chicken salads or crab cakes </p>
<p>Lake Wash and Scout - Treat yourselves to a gift - here is the link to order directly from Dukes. (amazon also has Duke’s Mayo - but that seems like an odd place to order mayo…)</p>
<p>Just click on your flavor and enjoy! <a href=“http://www.dukesmayo.com/shop_online.asp”>http://www.dukesmayo.com/shop_online.asp</a></p>
<p>^ Just looked at the website. I didn’t realize that Dukes had its own version of Miracle Whip (Duke’s Whipped Salad Dressing). I’ll have to look for it in the store and try it.</p>
<p>They aren’t suing as a public service, I think it is ridiculous. If ppl want those products they will buy them no matter the name. We use veganaise exclusively. My roommate is allergic to eggs and I don’t use mayo enough to buy it separately, not a big mayo fan. Not sweet. Veganaise is a great tasting product. There’s even a Slate article about it. But sometimes hard to find because it has to be refrigerated. Looking forward to Just Mayo didn’t know I could get it at target.</p>
<p>Kajon, many thanks for the heads up!</p>
