Ingredients
1 egg yolk*
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
2 pinches sugar
2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 cup oil, safflower or corn
Directions
In a glass bowl, whisk together egg yolk and dry ingredients. Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture. Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit, (which means you’ve got an emulsion on your hands). Once you reach that point you can relax your arm a little (but just a little) and increase the oil flow to a constant (albeit thin) stream. Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.
Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated. Leave at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours then refrigerate for up to 1 week.
Miracle Whip - trash.
Mayo - cheap white bread, homegrown tomato sliced thick, slathering of mayo, ahhhhh heaven.
That's why I buy the cheaper store brand mayo. Tastes the same.
Cereal, canned tuna, toilet paper, coffee, sugar, and now mayo.
Shhh~ maybe she won’t find out :(
Bring out the Hellmann’s and bring out the best.
As a kid. like all..I put ketchup on everything...the Heinz bottle is one of my earliest memories....I think I was about 13 or so,,and away at camp for the summer, when I saw my first bottle of Hunt's CATSUP..man..I was soooo confused...
anyone else remember??
Mayo with some dill pickles in it (tartar sauce) is what I love on French Fries...Absolutely cannot stand ketchup!
My favorite mayonnaise movie reference was in “Undercover Brother”. As part of a plan to infilitrate and foil the plans of “the Man”, Undercover Brother was hanging out with Denise Richards and eating mayonnaise sandwiches.
some things are just the best brands and Hellman’s is one of them...Kraft is ok...Best Foods is Hellmans...Dukes in a pinch
it’s like Ketchup...it’s Heinz or Del Monte..Hunts as a back option
Peanut butter..mass market variety...you go for off brands and don’t use Peter Pan, Skippy, JIF and you might regret it
cereals...same thing...discount brands are not as good
cold cuts and hot dogs same thing
soft drinks same issue
I know this having grown up to where when I opened the pantry or fridge and saw name brand I knew Dad and not Mother had been shopping. My mom reused paper towels...over and over. She came up hard.
I stopped using Heinz Ketchup in order to stop subsidizing Teresa Heinz and John Kerry. When Burger King gives out Heinz packets, I give them back and say, "I don't like this brand."
The Hellman’s olive oil mayo is excellent.

My wife will not eat red beans and rice without a big spoonful or two of mayo mixed in. Says it cuts down on the heat of the cayenne pepper in the beans.
9 out of 10 savages prefer Miracle Whip ;)
Ooooo, I never thought of mayo w/ my rice and beans. Thanks for the added calories!!!
Isn’t that why sour cream was invented?
Thing is she was born and raised in Louisiana where red beans and rice is a staple!
