Why do mayo people hate miracle whip so much?
After all, Miracle Whip never bills itself as mayo? It's like people hating horseradish becasue it ain't tartar sauce.

I'll occasionally use either one, sparingly. I just do not condiments with the consistency of "bad-bout-of-the-cold-snot" glopping up my food. Ick.

I don't like pudding either.

And for god's sake, don't even get me started on yogurt :puke:

1. I like both mayo and miracle whip for different purposes.
I don't get the controversy, myself.

5. I could deal with rotting ass taste, just so long as it wasn't
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 02:50 PM by eyepaddle
the consistency of sinus-infection mucus.

Matcom, this is a bit off-topic, but you should check out the new Priest "Rising in the East" DVD.

It is stunning.

On edit: err that'd be "rotting--not "totting" totting's more for the night threads!

3. I don't understand it either.
Why does it have to be an either/or proposition? I like mayonnaise for some things and Miracle Whip for others.

6. Mayonnaise is natural. Miracle Whip is processed.
Mayonnaise just tastes better.

7. Both make me gag like a sword swallower.
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 02:52 PM by HughBeaumont
Actually, that was kind of stupid since sword swallowers don't gag. That's how they can swallow swords.

Either way, mayo tastes heinous, kind of the same heinous as canned wax beans.

Plus there both usually good for a bellyache.

8. They Shouldn't Even Be Mentioned Together
Mayo is Mayo and Miracle Whip is SALAD DRESSING. So, those people that like Salad Dressing on their sandwiches - go ahead. Me, I'll stick with the real stuff - MAYO. That is what a sandwich needs.

12. That Mayo Lobby is pretty powerful
They are always crushing all the anti-mayo companies. Don't Miracle Whip fool you, its as anti-mayo as one can be. They just put up a front to fool people like you into supporting them. VIVA LA MAYO!

15. Because people use it as a substitution for mayo...
even though they shouldn't.

That's why I hate miracle whip so much. It's ruined a lot of turkey salads. :grr:

18. Yes, it's too sweet
and I don't like when people substitute it. I can't bear it in potato salad. I briefly went through a period of eating tomato sandwiches with Miracle Whip, but it lasted about two weeks.

26. Probably the same reason..
... folks prefer butter over margarine.

One is a somewhat natural product, the other a lab creation more suited to being a science project than it is to being consumed :)

Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 05:30 PM by eyepaddle
some vegetable oil mixed with water and whipped up?

I've got a mea culpa here, my mom is a heart patient and when I was growing up the medical advice was to shun butter, so I grew up on margarine.

Now I can deal with either. But if somebody tried to put as much butter on a sandwhich as so many people do mayo, ick. :puke:

I can understand people preferring one over the other, but the extent to which mayo people come unglued at the mention of miracle whip,....whew!

28. Not exactly..
... the oils in margarine are hydrogenated. They are every bit as bad for you as butter, maybe worse. (If you don't like "medical" advice about certain foods wait a couple of decades, it will change :))

Since margarine is no better for your body than butter, I'd rather eat the real thing. I do realize that whatever you are used to is what you like to an extent, but I found the changeover to butter easy and now I really cannot stomach margarine at all :)

31. Yeah, that was the advice when I grew up, back in the 70s
I don't avoid butter now, but I've grown pretty accustomed to margarine.

I never did go crazy with either. Some sandwhiches do cry out for "butter" in whichever form though.

29. when it comes to this, I am pure white trash. mayo sucks, MW rules!
Mayo really does make me gag. I can taste it when someone tries to fool me, ick!

I was raised on miracle whip for sandwiches, tuna, hamburgers, hot dogs, and...the all time white trash favorite in my family...

saltine crackers, miracle whip, and sliced pickles! so yummy.

I know, I am gross. I even eat just a slice of white bread with MW and salt sometimes, when I can't figure out what to eat and am in a hurry.

AND...I have low blood pressure, and low cholesterol! :-)

30. I'm with the "different users/can take both" group
pudding made on the stove is ok - instant is blech

I only like yogurt as tsaziki, not plain and NOT (gag - shudder)sweetened in some way.

33. It ain't the flavor
honestly, I think they all taste pretty good, mayo, miracle whip, pudding, some yogurt--it's the consistency of it.

It just ain't right. :)

37. But it's the same concept
I'm a book purist and the Wilder movie was a travesty. Even the author Roald Dahl hated the Wilder movie.

The Depp movie wasn't perfect but a definate improvement

Yummy! Sometimes one, sometimes the other.

43. Neither. Didn't you see the thread where I condemned both mayo and MW...
as abominations. Although MW goes even lower because it is an abominable copy of an abomination.

Lutefisk should be served either with butter or with a cream sauce which is basically an unspiced white gravy.
