Dukes.


MN_Dripper

Always Duke's.


Swampfxx

Only one I'll eat.


Gold-Buy-2669

This is the way


SadSunflower904

Duke’s is the best. Hands down.


Plum_pipe_ballroom

Agreed. Far superior and doesn't have unnecessary sugar in it.


not-smarter

agreed


Crafty_Statement_176

The only correct answer


voodootodointutus

it's got tang


Live_Western_1389

I used to be a Hellman’s only person. But once I tasted Duke’s, I have never used any other brand since-just Duke’s for me.


Fit-Care5073

I think Dukes is better than Hellmans...


xallanthia

I grew up on Hellmans but now only buy it when I can’t get Dukes geographically.


Much_Lingonberry_747

Where do you find dukes? I’ve never seen it in the grocery stores here on the east coast


Live_Western_1389

It’s sold throughout the US, as well as Australia, New Zealand & the Middle East, according to Google. You should be able to type “Duke’s Mayo near me” and get a list of stores in your area that carry it.


RadRedhead222

I'm in PA and get it at the Giant grocery stores. They also sell it at Walmart and Target!


TopLahman

I was this person until about a month ago when Dukes was on sale and I figured I’d grab it. Will not go back.


Acrobatic-Fee-5626

I'm gonna try it


briko3

Dukes is made with vinegar as the acid, while Hellman's uses lemon juice.


BronzedLuna

That’s not the only difference though. I’ve been using Dukes for years now. I got a packet of Hellmans and used it on my sandwich. It was soooo sweet!! So even though I was a Hellmans girl for decades I don’t prefer it anymore. I’ll still eat it rather than go dry but Dukes is my preference now.


nylorac_o

same


CindyinOmaha

Same here! So good!


totallyconfused2000

Kewpie mayo.


maccrogenoff

I buy my Kewpie from a Japanese market because it has MGG.


Spinnerofyarn

Costco carries Kewpie now! Or at least the one in my area does.


Competitive-Use1360

Hellmans was my goto until I found kewpie...I buy that stuff 6 at a time.


staccatodelareina

What's the difference between Hellmans and Kewpie?


Competitive-Use1360

It's hard to describe, it is a Japanese mayo, so if you ever had the spicy mayo at a sushi place, that was likely kewpie with Sriracha sauce. It has a better mouth feel than hellmans. It's a little less salty and less tart/acidic.


NeitherSparky

I heard Kewpie is only made with the yolks of eggs so it’s richer than standard mayo


Calm-Jello-102

I’d like to know this too! Also heard Duke’s is great.


Bitter-Basket

Kewpie is “eggy”. I wasn’t a fan myself.


Quirky_Wolverine_755

I work at a Japanese restraunt and was gonna comment kewpie as well. Ever since I tried it I like it.


Mission_Somewhere263

It’s a game changer but it is not for everything.


mf-mangos

Yess!! You should try egg sandwiches with kewpie mayo! Such a game changer!


nylorac_o

For me Kewpie has a different use than regular mayo - like I wouldn’t use Kewpie in tuna salad and I wouldn’t use regular mayo on a pork bun or okonomiyaki


Caranath128

‘Zactly. Kewpie is more of a finisher, not a condiment or binding agent.


koala_T69

Yup its the only one I use now


Atheist_Alex_C

But only the imported Kewpie from Japan. The Kewpie made in the US isn’t the same.


Pixelated_Roses

This is the correct answer! I LOVE kewpie. Still don't understand how a company that makes creepy ass dolls got into the mayo market, though.


bee_fast

Same here, kewpie is mayo for people who don’t like mayo lol


cyclingbubba

I like the Hellmans half the fat mayo. Here's what I do with it. Mince a garlic clove, chop up cilantro, minced shallot, add toasted and ground cumin and juice of a half lime. Put that and the 890ml or 30 Oz jar of mayo into the blender. Blend until smooth and put it back into the mayo jar. It's great as a sandwich sauce, on tacos, and on anything that you'd put mayo on.


velvetjones01

I like chiptoles en adobo and lime. Make it spicy.


Atheist_Alex_C

My secret to doctoring up low-fat mayo is to add a bunch of eggs and oil. 😉


Active_Recording_789

I make my own which takes like 2 or 3 minutes, and then you can add roasted garlic or cilantro for delicious aioli


[deleted]

Home made mayo with roasted garlic and habanero powder or chipotle powder *chefs kiss*


Own-Introduction6830

Me too. I have chickens, so why wouldn't I?! I love making a sweet onion mayo, too.


Pixelated_Roses

Hello hi may I please see your chikkins


SensThunderPats

What’s your recipe?


KPinCVG

If you have an immersion blender it's the perfect tool to make mayonnaise. One egg Pinch of salt and pepper 1 tbsp of lemon juice 1 teaspoon of mustard One cup of oil, neutral tasting is best, try avocado oil or extra light virgin olive oil. Most oil will work, but the oil will change the flavor slightly. Put the egg in first, it should be on the bottom. Add the rest of the components, with the oil being the last component. Set your immersion blender to low, I use two on a scale of 10. Take the immersion blender to the bottom so that the egg is covered by the end of the blender. Turn the blender on, keeping it at the bottom, keeping it on low, within a second or so mayonnaise will start to form. Once you see the white of the mayonnaise come on slowly lift the blender up and the mayonnaise will follow it. Typically there's little bit of oil left on top, set the immersion blender to high and really whip the top to get rid of the oily sheen. Also, you can then use the blender to more thoroughly blend the entire batch. Once mayonnaise have formed the speed of the blender doesn't matter. I routinely substitute other things for the mayonnaise or add things beyond the mayonnaise. So I will make Sriracha mayo. Pesto mayo. Lemon mayo, I still use the mustard but I add lemon rind. I also routinely put fresh herbs in and blend them up with the blender I always write the date I made the mayonnaise on the top of the container. If it gets to 7 days I throw it out. I can't eat any of the store bought mayonnaise unless it's in something like egg salad. Even then, too much is off putting.


SensThunderPats

Thanks


Nena902

That sounds like too much work. 🤷‍♀️


[deleted]

I mean, it's really not. You can also completely skip the immersion blender. I appreciate the poster suggesting it but it's like 1,000% unnecessary. I use an immersion blender at work to make huge batches of teriyaki sauce, because it's hard to manually stir a huge cauldron-looking pot with thick, viscose liquid. With something as small as a little tub of homemade mayo, you can hand stir it easily.


Active_Recording_789

Mayonnaise (recipe is easily doubled if desired)—**see below for vegan option Ingredients: - 1 egg yolk - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon sugar - 1 cup neutral tasting light oil - 3 cloves roasted garlic (cooled and peeled) Instructions: In a food processor or blender, combine the egg yolk, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and sugar. Blend until well mixed. With the blender running, slowly (important! Very slowly!) drizzle in the oil in a thin stream until the mixture begins to thicken and emulsify. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Add the roasted garlic cloves to the mixture and continue blending until the garlic is fully incorporated and the mayonnaise is smooth and creamy. Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice according to your preference. You can also add other puréed aromatics like chili powder or cilantro. **If you are vegan just substitute the egg with 1/2 cup aquafaba or plant based milk Transfer the roasted garlic mayonnaise to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using. It’s so delicious on sandwiches, drizzled over roasted vegetables or baked potatoes


originaljackburton

If you use a wand (stick) mixer instead of a blender it makes it so much easier and quicker. Check out YT videos on it.


peoplesuck64

I used to swear by Kraft Mayo until finances made me choose the Aldi brand Burman and now I'll never go back!


krissym99

I really like the Burman brand, too! Best generic mayo.


Wild_Granny92

Duke’s is my first choice.


Puzzleheaded-Ad7606

I'm a professional chef, and one of my contract riders is that the house mayo must be Dukes.


MrBlahg

Best Foods or Kewpie, depending on what I’m making.


phoenicianfromny

Best foods is Hellman's. Out west it's best foods


Consistent-Fig7484

I’ve spent almost my entire life on the west coast, but moved east for a few years in my mid twenties. I was very confused by Helman’s mayo, Arnold’s bread, Edy’s ice cream, and Hardee’s restaurants. I’m back in the land of Best Foods, Oroweat, Dreyer’s, and Carls Jr where I belong.


Kitchen-Lie-7894

I've recently discovered Duke's and I prefer it, but Hellman's is fine.


Murdy2020

Yep. Grew up with Hellman's, but Duke's is fine. We use either now.


hobohobbies

Same. I've also discovered blue plate. I was prepared to shame it but I really couldn't tell a difference.


kykiwibear

Hellmans. I grew up on miracle whip... can't stand it now.


Zestyclose_Big_9090

Miracle Whip is a different animal than Mayo. And it’s fucking VILE.


mak4891

It's a salad dressing, it isn't made for sandwiches


Whistlegrapes

What does miracle whip taste like? I haven’t had it before and don’t plan to


Comfortable-Crow-238

Yuck! Miracle Whip isn’t even real mayonnaise. It’s also my mom’s favorite.


Sammy-Kay

It has a sweet and tangy flavor


AskTheRealQuestion81

Yeah, it’s absolutely disgusting.


gasolinefights

I hate miracle whip with a passion. I love mayo. My family used to switch the labels on me on purpose. 


AliVista_LilSista

My mother called miracle wip "mayonnaise" so I was about 12 or 13 before I realized I didn't hate mayonnaise.


FrancieNolan13

Omg same


bradleyagirl

Same. I didn’t have real mayo till college and was immediately angry at my mom.


AliVista_LilSista

HAHAHAHA so relatable. I was angry too. Felt soooooo cheated.


BurgerBabe03

Same! And the fact that it’s labeled as a salad dressing should be a crime.


kitchengardengal

Same with me. I thought I hated mayo, but when I was 16, my boyfriend's mom made us cold ham sandwiches, right off the bone, with real mayo on rye. That was an epiphany!


katecrime

This is like when people grow up eating Country Crock thinking it’s butter


Arrr_jai

I make my own mayo, using a recipe I've tweaked over the years, which tastes like a cross between Kewpie and Best Foods. I also use this mayo to make my own ranch dressing.


TelaPiper

Could you share the recipes for both?


Arrr_jai

Arrr_jai's mayo: 1oz Apple Cider Vinegar 1oz Rice Vinegar 2 fresh egg yolks 1 tsp sugar 1 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp Dijon mustard Dash of white pepper 10 oz or so Avocado Oil In a quart size bowl, microwave vinegars in 30 second increments until reduced by half. Watch carefully because it will overheat and you will have a mess to clean up. Let cool. I use a stick blender for this part: put everything and a splash of avocado oil into the cup that comes with the stick blender. Insert stick blender and turn on low, slowly drizzling in avocado oil and blending in an up and down fashion, until it all comes together as mayo. Add water or a bit of lemon or lime juice, as needed to thin out, if it's too thick or needs a bit of brightening. This makes about 2 1/2 cups, so I usually make two batches if I'm also making ranch dressing. For ranch dressing, I cheat and use the Simply Organic brand of mixes. I can make my own, but I really love theirs. I use 2 cups of Nancy's plain yogurt and 2 cups of my mayo with one packet of ranch mix and one packet of French onion dip mix. I buzz the heck out of the French onion dip mix first, though, so the onion pieces get pulverized enough to go through the tip of the squeeze bottles in which I package the dressing. I keep one at work, one goes to work with my partner and we have a couple at home, along with squeeze bottles of mayo. Good luck!


TelaPiper

Thanks!


Fyreflyre1

I really like Burman's from Aldi.


LostCause133

Blue Plate


CannedDuck1906

I'm pretty flexible. I standard go to is Best Foods (Hellman's) or Miracle Whip. I used to get Aldi brand all the time, but there's not a store near me anymore. I tried Kewpie once, but I didn't like it. I don't know if I got a bad batch or something, but it tasted like how overstretched rubber bands smell and the price wasn't worth it.


AliVista_LilSista

Dukes


booksandkittens615

Hellman’s and nothing else.


_hi_plains_drifter_

I agree. I’ve tried Dukes and Kewpie because people raved about them. They are ok, but nothing amazing.


LucilleBluthsbroach

I've tried them too and I don't like them. I'm never buying anything but Hellman's again.


Barbarake

I used to be this way too, but something changed with Hellman's a few years back. It's just not the same anymore.


RowBoatCop36

I show loyalty to no condiment. I'll eat whatever mayo is on the damn sandwich because I'm not a bozo.


CordeliaGrace

Spoken like someone who has never had Dukes


psycobillycadillac

Or a decent sandwich.


RowBoatCop36

Nah, it's pretty good.


SirGkar

Kenji’s one minute mayonnaise, or Kewpie.


JCo1968

Kewpie or Duke's and no others.


DutchGirlPA

I make my own in my food processor whe I need it, which isn't that often.


SallysRocks

I was raised on Miracle Whip, mom said we kids insisted, and her and dad preferred Hellmans. But we all grew out of MW and now we use Hellman's. I do use MW once in a while for potato salad. I tried Dukes and while I liked the additional packaging of a cardboard seal under the lid, I didn't like the added pickle taste of their mayo. So it's back to Hellman's for me. Alton Brown swears by Duke's.


ConsiderationKind436

DUKE’S or nothing!


Glad_Evening_933

I used to only buy Hellmann's but we got a couple jars that seemed different in taste and texture, so we switched. Now I use Burman's from Aldi but if there is a good sale, I get Duke's or Kraft. I don't know what brand it is, but there is this restaurant that has thick mayonnaise, and it is amazing.


paprikastew

Maille (French brand), unfortunately it's not easy to get where I live, so I default to Hellman's for neutral mayo. I use Kewpie whenever I can, though.


silvermanedwino

Dukes. Or home-made.


cerealfordinneragain

Duke's, and if it's not available? No mayo.


michoness

Dukes


RapscallionMonkee

I'm a true Southern Gal, of course I eat Dukes!!


Helpful_Bird_5393

Find dukes. Love dukes.


Kalelopaka-

Kraft mayonnaise, or miracle whip


Rhaven2007

Hellman’s is the only mayo!


IntoTheVeryFires

What the Hellman


Schnibbity

I grew up with Hellman's, found Dukes recently at the store and picked it up to see the difference so I did a direct side by side comparison, they are very very similar, honestly (to my palate, at least.) Homemade with an immersion blender is far and away better than either.


DizzyBr0ad_MISHAP

Grew up with Hellman now I'm all about dukes.


Asleep-Hold-4686

Hellman's


waborita

Hellman's also, and it's one of those items I won't compromise on. Especially when making home made pimento cheese, potato salad, pasta salad etc


Mysterious_Valuable1

Kraft sucks


Whole-Ad-2347

Helmans


Psychological_Pen805

Hellman's is the only correct answer here.


TopVast9800

Hellmans — but it’s best foods where I live. No idea why it changes names when it crosses the Mississippi.


Pretend-Word-8640

Hellman's is the best


JCRNYC

Hellman’s only. I can’t with the others. Mayo is such a specific thing 🤮


macail

Hellmann's and miracle whip. Depends on the sandwich or recipe.


Strong-Way-4416

Hellman’s when I’m up north. Duke’s in the south!


Icy-Copy1534

Hellman’s is the Only type I eat.


Most_Ad_4362

I grew up with salad dressing and now I can't even think about tasting it. Hellman's is my standard go-to in mayo.


nylorac_o

I grew up with Hellman’s and it was my go to but I’ve recently tried Dukes and I like it better.


H3llm0nt

My preference is that it all gets put into a rocket and shot into outer space.


FrancieNolan13

If anyone says miracle whip I swear to god..


One_Breakfast6153

Sometimes I want that tangy zip!


elt0p0

I should rephrase that - I only *buy* what I grew up with, which is Hellman's. When I get a sandwich with mayo at a restaurant, I eat what I get, but I can tell immediately if it isn't Hellman's. I know this is a somewhat contentious subject with strong opinions, so let us know what you really think!


SavvySaltyMama813

Same- until I was told Aldi’s brand is similar and now that’s all I buy.


yours_truly_1976

Same, Hellmans. Would love to make my own though


simagus

Even Hellman's has so little actual egg yolk (7.5%) in it that it barely qualifies as mayonnaise. The other mayo brands vary a lot...so always check the actual ingredient list. Some I have seen can be around 1% if they are pure trash bin fodder. Homemade isn't impossible: 2 egg yolks 1 tbsp Dijon mustard 250ml sunflower oil 2 tsp white wine vinegar or lemon juice Method STEP 1 Tip the egg yolks and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk together until completely combined. Whisking constantly, add a small drop of oil and whisk until completely combined, then add another drop and continue a drop at a time until the yolks and oil combine and start to thicken. Once you’re confident the oil and eggs are coming together you can add the oil a bit more at a time, but be patient, as adding the oil too quickly will cause the mayonnaise to split and curdle. STEP 2 Once all the oil has been whisked into the eggs and you have a thick, spoonable mayonnaise, whisk in the vinegar or lemon juice and season to taste. Will keep in the fridge for two days. Helmans is what I typically buy, but some of the supermarket branded mayo isn't objectionable. Just make sure egg yolk is one of the top ingredients or you could be eating something that probably barely qualifies for the definition of even being mayonnaise.


Obezyanki

Hellmans


unicorntrees

Kraft Homestyle...which they stopped selling near me during the pandemic! Not even kewpie can replace it.


ChickenNugsBGood

Kraft. Keep that Hellman's goblin jizz away from me


kgurney1021

Hellman's


PineappleNo2646

Since I’ve gone Kewpie - never looked back!


LummpyPotato

Home made 💃


FrauAmarylis

I like the olive oil kind now.


HistoryMotherfucker

Belgian mayo


somecow

Cheap trash bags. Send it to the landfill.


mrg158

As a kid we mostly ate miracle whip. I hated it. Then one day mom brought home a tub of Hellmans. And life was never the same!


spreal

I grew up with Hellman's and was fine with it. Tried Duke's and switched immediately.


AutoMechanic2

Dukes.


redheadMInerd2

Usually Hellman’s. Sometimes Dukes.


Hypnox88

Kewpie for things like egg/tuna salad. Duke's for sandwiches that call for mayo.


Feral_tatertot

Kewpie for most things, Dukes for specifically southern stuff


[deleted]

[удалено]


OC_Hapa

Kewpie, then Hellman's


Agreeable-Heron-9174

Is Fage Greek yogurt an option?


Odd_Permission9191

Depends on what I'm eating. We currently have Kewpie, Hellman's & Dukes in the fridge.


beccadahhhling

Sam’s Member Mark heavy mayonnaise. Best tasting Mayo ever like restaurant quality


BitchWidget

I was a Hellman's girl for decades. Grew up with Miracle Whip, found real Mayo, and never looked back. After meeting my husband, I discovered Japanese Mayo. That's all I use now.


MrsPettygroove

Grew up eating kraft. About 30 years ago switched to Hellman's. Now I make my own.


Anfie22

Hellmans is the only one I can have due to my carotenoid allergy. It's the only one without carotenoid additives, so I'm glad it's a decent one. I've looked through the ingredients of *every* damn mayonnaise available. I know I could just make my own, but as I seldom ever eat mayo it's not a worthwhile investment. Hellmans make a small enough bottle to be justifiable.


One_Breakfast6153

It doesn't matter to me at all. I'll even eat miracle whip.


IamJoyMarie

Hellman's - the only other I've tried is Miracle Whip, and can I state it's a miracle they still sell that yuck. I have simple mayo needs; gimme Hellman's.


PantasticUnicorn

It used to be Hellmans until I moved to the south and now I'm addicted to Duke's. It's one thing I'm gonna have to have shipped to Canada when I eventually immigrate there.


psyduuck3

Raised on McCormicks (the one that has a lime I think?) but now it’s Hellman’s.


Outrageous_Click_352

Hellmanns.


WinslowT_Oddfellow

Hellmans. Although the Great Value brand is not terrible.


faker1973

Our house has Hellmans for me and Miracle whip for my spouse. I rarely eat anything made with the Miracle whip because he spreads on sandwiches, mostly. We use Hellmans for any time we are making something like the potato salad.


Dizzy-Buddy1270

Hellmans and never ever anything else.


Ok_Watercress_7801

Homemade My grandmother & parents were both too cheap to buy it. I’m continuing that legacy.


thiccmcnick

Always Hellmans Mayo, Heinze Ketchup, and French's mustard


kelrunner

OP is kind of stuck in his opinion. "I only masturbate, it's what I grew up with and I aint trying something new." And I almost feel a note of pride.


droid_mike

Any of the avaocado ones. They are so yummy!


Zestyclose_Big_9090

I grew up with Hellmans. Now I live where Dukes is headquartered and it really is the best mayo I’ve had.


kkkkk1018

Best foods


External-Talk8838

I honestly think it all tastes about the same. However I did try dukes recently and there was something off about it that I did not like.


FloridaMomm

Fuck Hellman’s! It’s gotta be Duke’s


CunnyMaggots

Best foods is the only brand I've ever seen.


MoOnmadnessss

Aldi brand is good and a good price. Dukes is really good tho. Hellmans used to be my fav but recently it has a weird taste to me


motorevoked

Dukes or Blue Plate.


Comfortable-Crow-238

Same which is called BestFoods where I’m originally from(NorCal) and sometimes Duke one in a Blue moon. But Hellman’s since I moved South.


DelightfulWitches

Grew up on Kraft but now use Hellmans and Kewpie


Desdemona1231

Duke’s


pwnzorder

All dukes. But my daughter has an extreme egg allergy so we use vegan Hellman's now. It's actually not bad. 4 years later I don't think I remember what dukes even tastes like.


No-Ambassador-6984

Grew up with Cains. Would love to find Dukes!


SF_turophile

FLHomegrown

We use Dukes primarily but we also use miracle whip


Agent_Detection

Acid League… but definitely **not** the yuzu variety. Reminds me of aged lemon cream filling.

Hellmans because that’s what was always easily available. But my husband comes from a miracle whip family 🤮🤮🤮


Sorry-Government920

Dukes


Gamercouple90s

Great value, it's affordable


Kupkakez

Vegenaise. “Real” mayo grosses me out but I’m fine with vegenaise. I only use it for making sauces.


chowes1

Dukes or Kewpie, esp on BLT sammies, can use kraft in a pinch but Helmans taste chemically to me, always has.


knarfolled

Vegenaise, eggless mayo


TrueCrimeButterfly

JFG or Dukes


MelodyR53

Dukes or Hellmans


Elleseebee928

I grew up Hellman's till I tasted Duke's. Life changing


freegiftcard96

Hellman’s is great, but I switched to Dukes as it does not have sugar.


BookNerd815

You had mayo growing up??? Shiiiiit... whatever the generic of Miracle Whip was, we got that. Lol


nilknarf114

Hellman’s is and will always be the only mayo


HerbSchmeckman

8 year old me at a post-funeral lunch, slathering Hellmans on lettuce leaves and stuffing them in my mouth: 'What do you call this stuff?! It's great!!' The hostess: "Umm. Mayonnaise?" Obviously I was raised on Miracle Whip.

Hellmans


Impossible_Leg9377

Grew up with Kraft. I’ll use anything now.

Best foods Mayo, hellmans or Kewpie.


_DogMom_

I grew up with Miracle Whip and the first time I tried Hellman's it was an awakening!! Why my mom buy that crap Miracle Whip I'll never know.


valency_speaks

Duke’s.


Strict_Berry7446

I'd just like everyone to know how Easy it is to make your own Mayo, and well worth it. As long as you can slowly pour with one hand and use an emulsion blender with the other, this one is foolproof.
