LOL!
I’m partial to Hellman’s; I grew up on it, and we’re in Maryland. While I see Duke’s in the grocery, among my local cooking friends I haven’t found a real preference for Duke’s.
Is it a deeper-South thing? and what’s different about it?
We had never tried Duke’s until we moved to North Carolina and just about everyone there swears by it. We had always used Hellman’s but one day I bought some Duke’s because it was on sale BOGO and tried it out. From then on, it was our favorite. My husband was a dyed in the wool Hellman’s fan but he only wants Duke’s now. Luckily, it is readily available in Florida. I can’t quite put my finger on WHY it’s better, it just is. Try it. What’s the worse thing that can happen? If you hate it, you can take it back to the store.
