Philly is Miracle Whip country. Nasty stuff.
Miracle Whip
Made from recycled milk jugs (shredded and macerated) and artificial flavorings, I think.
Dukes or home made
My in-laws swear by that dog vomit. Worse yet, they insist on the FAT-FREE dog vomit. Needless to say, I avoid making tuna salad when I'm there. A little spread on a turkey sandwich is about all I can stomach.
Mom made all my baloney (ok, bologna) sandwiches in the 50s with Miracle Whip. I was too young to know any better. Then I found real mayo when I left home at 18 and never had another drop of Miracle Whip. I tried it once about 20 years ago and you are absolutely right! “Nasty stuff.”
Watch your mouth! Down here in Texas you can make a sandwich with nothing but bread and miracle whip - the ONE TRUE MAYONNAISE.
Hey! I am a connoisseur of peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches! Easy there!!! ;-)
