Technically, Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise – but to many people it is…so it’s included. I grew up referring to Miracle Whip as mayo, using it like mayo. Here is the reason it’s TECHNICALLY not mayo: Miracle Whip Vs. Mayonnaise
My favorite sandwich growing up was super soft white Wonder bread, a slice of American cheese and both sides of the bread with a layer of Miracle Whip. The BEST cheese sandwich.
After sharing my Tomato Sandwich post yesterday, many people left comments on Facebook stating I should use Duke’s Mayo, NOT Hellmann’s. I grew up in Michigan and never heard of Duke’s Mayonnaise, it wasn’t even available in stores. I only learned about Duke’s when I started blogging and following southern food bloggers. When I moved to Georgia a few months ago, the first thing on my list was to purchase some Duke’s mayo, to find out what the fuss was all about…and I must say, I prefer Hellmann’s. I’m sure those are some fighting words. Ha!
Even though I prefer Hellmann’s over Duke’s, I recently purchased Duke’s Tartar Sauce – HOLY SMOKES IT’S SO DARN GOOD!! The best tartar sauce I’ve ever purchased, better than most homemade!! If you see this in the store, grab a jar, you can thank me later.
Thanks for stopping!
Cheers!

Has to be Miracle Whip!! But store brand salad dressings supposedly the same as Miracle Whip are NOT the same. They taste very different. I think whichever you prefer, Miracle Whip Salad Dressing or mayonnaise (any brand),
really just depends mainly upon which you were raised eating!

I was raised on Miracle Whip which I love on some things but after trying a deli sandwich in California I only want mayonnaise on a good sandwich. I still like Miracle Whip though.

In South Africa the competition would be between Nola mayo and Cross & Blackwell Mayo. We do have Miracle Whip. Minette
