Hellmann's Or Miracle Whip?

[Aviano90]

Think you might be conveniently taking something out of context to get your shot in? There was nothing marginally racist about that post. It is about the origins of flavor and food and how the taste buds of the different peoples brought about some of the foods we enjoy.

There was nothing bigoted about that post and I think you know that but play your game.

Just playing by the rules established in the new normal where intent has been thrown out the window.

As for the question. I prefer mayo on most things but occasionally like Miracle Whip as a change of pace.

Same with Coke vs Pepsi. Would drink Coke most times and toss in a Pepsi here and there for something different. Don’t drink sodas anymore though.

I'm a much bigger fan of fried Spam than I am eating it without any modification. lol

Mayo/Miracle Whip... As I posted before, to me they are two totally different products with different applications. I

It would be like comparing Mayo to peanut butter or Miracle Whip to peanut butter IMO.

Funny you should mention that comparison. Until I moved up north to PA, I had never heard of mayo and peanut butter sammiches and I was surprised at the number of people that were surprised we were surprised. They looked at us like "who doesn't eat mayo on a peanut butter sammich"? However, I need to add that some of these people admitted they grew up eating boiled hamburgers. Aw hell, there goes the gag reflex again.

I have never tried it and I am a guy that experimented with peanut butter, dill pickles, apples, pickled jalapenos and the craziest thing, iceberg lettuce, but no mayo.

Mentioning boiled hamburgers...

We're just across the PA state line into NY and one of the local favorites are loose-meat burgers and the hamburger/ground beef is boiled.

But quite often at the fairs and such the vendors will keep a partially made burger in boiling water to both help finish cooking it and keeping it moist.

If you were to taste a burger that was made on a grill or and kept on/in some kind of warmer and then compared it to a burger started on a grill and then kept in boiling/hot water I'm betting you would prefer that.

I could but one boiled from the get go and not grilled or flat topped, nuh uh.

Haven't heard of that mustard, have to add that to the arsenal. Looked it up online and it looks similar to Plochman's jar.

For yellow, I've been a French's guy for years but it's now in 3rd behind Heinz and Plochman's. If I see a new mustard, I buy it, I am down with the sickness. I looked in my pantry closet this morning, taking inventory, and I have 9 different unopened mustards and another 5 in the fridge. I need a condiment intervention.

Whataburger mustard is the best yellow variety

That is good, got a bottle in the pantry.

Know what's good on a burger? Mix in either dill pickle juice or pickled jalapeno juice in with your mustard, adds a nice zing.

For me, pickles is the second worst thing to put on a burger…..ranking right behind the tomato

Agree on the tomato but if not for pickles, burgers would not exist. Which came first the burger or the pickle?

 

[Dallas_Cowboys50]

Both

Miracle Whip

 

[Creeper]

Hellmans and it is not close. MW is gross.

Mayo is a start, not the finish. Add some lemon juice and minced garlic and spread that on chicken or turkey.

CC.. you have a serious problem! I buy one or 2 at a time. Burn through those and move on to the next flavor. Mustard expires pretty quickly. You definitely need an intervention. Gotta ween yourself off buying mustard and finish what you already have!

My favorite is Jack Daniels mustard. I can't find it in the store I shop anymore though.

I know, I didn't realize how quickly it expires until I was ordered to go through our pantry, fridge and freezer and throw away all expired products. I always thought because of the vinegar, mustard, pickles and peppers would last a long time but I was surprised and threw away a lot of stuff.

Biggie, I have a bigger problem than that, I suffer from Pantry Emptius Spaciatus, no empty spaces in the pantry allowed. I go through it every 6-8 weeks and toss out expired stuff and then see available space for future expired stuff and start the fill in process. I need a keeper but a better one than my previous one because she couldn't stop me.

When we moved to Memphis, we got this house with this great kitchen and a really large walk in pantry and my wife went to Little Rock with the kids for the weekend to visit her family. Leaving me all alone with an almost empty pantry, time on my hands and a large vehicle.

When they came back on Sunday afternoon, she had stopped by the store on the way in and when she opened the pantry door and I was in the family room and I hear "Oh my God!!!" and go running in, not thinking she might have opened the pantry door without me preparing her first, and I round the corner and she's just standing there with her mouth open in shock. She just looks at me and asks "how did you get all of this in the car to get it here". I responded "took more than one trip and one was to Sam's".

My older son, 15 at the time comes in takes one look and goes "cool". At least I was a hero to one of the family members. Looking back on that, I do think if the city of Germantown had checked out our pantry, they could have taxed me as a small grocery store.

The funniest part of that was that night as my wife and I are lying in bed she said "you know, if you don't want me to leave you alone on the weekend, you can ask me not to go". She actually took pictures of the pantry and sent them to her sister, which she put on her fridge and still has them and the story to go along with it. The caption was "Some wives only have to worry about their husband running around on them when they're out of town. I have to worry about mine running to the store".

yup you definitely have a problem! lol I do the same thing when I go shopping! The trick is sticking to a list but there’s always more stuff you never knew you needed when you were making the list in the first place. At least we know you’re not sleeping around! You’re wife’s a lucky lady to have such a loyal husband and plenty of condiments!
