I like both -- but tend to use Miracle Whip most of the time. I've always liked its distinctive taste.
It also has corn syrup and/or sugar in it, if I recall. And I think it has higher level of vinegar or some other acidic flavoring.@Stewball Miracle Whip has the same basic ingredients as mayonnaise, but is categorized as a "salad dressing" because it has less than 65% vegetable oil, which is the minimum required for mayo. It's similar to British salad cream.I don't know what miracle whip is!
I don't notice a difference... I always have it mixed with tons of other stuff, but I'm sure if I ate mayo with a spoon or something, it'd be more obvious.Hellmans is like it's sour in mixture .
I've heard that Japanese mayo is incredible! I've been meaning to try it.

I've heard Japanese mayonnaise is delicious and that they put it on everything. I want to try some, and I know they sell the Kewpie brand in some stores around here but it's so expensive! Plus it's loaded with MSG, so it's addicting (and this accounts for the deliciousness, I assume).
Is it Mayo and wasabi?I've heard that Japanese mayo is incredible! I've been meaning to try it.
The Kewpie is smoother, and slightly yellower than standard-issue Hellman's. That's because the Japanese stuff only uses egg yolks — Hellman's adds some whole eggs to its mix — which means it's slightly looser and closer in look and feel to homemade mayo. Kewpie also calls for a mix of vinegar, meaning its acidity is sweeter than it is in mayos dosed with lemon juice. (There actually are recipes out there for DIY Kewpie, but by the time you stock up on the dashi powder, Japanese mustard, and crystallized MSG, you're better off just buying a bottle of the real thing. Plus, doesn't making your own hyper-processed mayonnaise sort of defeat the purpose?)
Neither.
I don't know what it is either :dk:I don't know what miracle whip is!
I can eat mayonnaise by the spoonful.I don't know what it is either :dk:
I do eat mayo though.
Thanks for clearing that up Pam. Is it the same consistency? I like tangy mayo. Maybe I'd like miracle whip. I may never know though!!!Miracle Whip is labelled as a salad dressing (not mayonnaise) or can be used to spread on bread for sandwiches more so than a mayonnaise. It's made by Kraft and has more of a tangy flavor than does mayo. Around here, it costs the same as mayo; when one is on sale, the other normally is, too. I actually like it, I like the tanginess, but for a lot of people mayonnaise is the only way to go. I sometimes use a combination of MW and mayo when making salads with a mayo-based dressing.
My parents always had a jar of Miracle Whip in the fridge and it was all we used on tomato sandwiches with lettuce. I keep a jar, too. It has its uses.
