How to Make Store-Bought Mayonnaise Taste Homemade. Mayo is an almost perfect blank slate for experimentation.

I like Miracle Whip too. Or I’ll take store bought mayo, add some vinegar and sugar, celery seed, pepper, a dab of sour cream. Whip it up until silky smooth, and it makes a great Cole slaw dressing. I wonder what bacon fat would be like in a mayo. Baconnaise?

I’ve never tried Japanese Kewpie Mayonnaise, btw.
So what is Japanese mayo all about? What differentiates it?

... Japanese mayonnaise has a rich egg flavor because only egg yolks are used compared to the American mayo that contains the entire egg. Also, Japanese mayo is typically made with rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, instead of distilled vinegar.

Same here. Nothing wrong with Hellmans. Just finished my tuna salad sandwich made with Hellmans. Yum. Get it in costco in the BIG jars.

I dropped and busted one of those BIG JARS in the store one time...............

Southerners know that Duke’s and Blue Plate are the Dom Perignon of mayo.

I’m a Miracle Whip guy myself (I grew up on it), but my wife is an Alabama gal and won’t eat anything unless it’s got Duke’s mayo on it. And I admit, Duke’s has a tanginess that is pretty good, so we keep a jar of it handy.

Claire could save time by beginning with homemade instead of jumping through all those hoops.

My immediate reaction to the headline was “Buy Duke’s.”

I make my mayo with neutral-tasting vegetable oil. As little flavor as possible so I can add whatever other flavors I want at that moment. Olive oil didn’t work for me taste-wise, and neither did coconut oil (hardened when I refrigerated the mayo, so I had solid mayo!).

Baconnaise

I bought 2 bottles of Duke's last Summer while I was in the South. It was good. I never heard of Blue Plate before so I thought I would try it. I ordered 1 jar, it will be here tomorrow.

I refuse to buy Hellmann’s again. I forget exactly why, but I am boycotting a lot of businesses. I see no practical way to boycott a few companies, but I do what I can.

Blue Plate is my first choice recently. When sold out, Duke’s is an easy alternative.

Almost sounds like she wants to put on a mayo clinic...

I didn’t know it was really a thing. :-)
