Mayo question

[Claudia Killebrew]

This is not a question about cooking, it is a question about jarred mayo.
 
I always favored (still do) Hellman's mayo. When I lived in Florida, people kept talking about Duke's, so I tried it. I found the flavor and consistency almost the same as Hellman's, so if it was on sale, I bought it. We go through a TON of mayo. Hubby puts it on everything. However, the last couple of jars I bought, the consistency is different. Thinner and creamier, more like Kraft. We like the thick (chunky?) texture of Hellman's better.

So, the question for you Duke's eaters. Have you noticed a change also or is it just me?

[C. B. Williams]

I usually make my own. Super easy. See my mayonnaise recipe in the cookbook.

[Claudia Killebrew]

C.B., I did make my own mayo. Once. While the flavor was good, the texture wasn't what we like. See above remark about chunky. Also, if I did make my own, I would be making it on the average of every other day. Again, see above about using a ton and Hubby's habits.

I've never even heard of Dukes mayo. Always buy Hellmans but I don't know what you mean by chunky. It is more 'stiff' than creamy, if that's what you mean.

[Claudia Killebrew]

Yes Mark. Stiff. You can get a big "chunk" of it out using a knife.
I grew up in NY and never heard of Duke's until I got to Florida. It's a Southern thing I guess, but I can get it here in Maryland. Funny, I never really thought of Maryland as Southern even if it is south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

I like Hellmanns.  I know what you mean about it being "chunky".   I did try Duke's.  Here is Wisconsin it's not a brand I see much however our Dollar Tree carries it.  I thought it was okay.  I prefer the Hellmans though.  I see discussion about Blue Plate mayo too but I can't find it around here.

As I understand it, Blue Plate is only available in the South.  I brought home a jar of it from Chattanooga but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

I agree about Hellman's becoming less creamy and more "chunky" over the years.

Hellman's Only in this Household.

I am not a fan of mayo.... but...

When I do use it, it is Hellman's or nothing...
(Chicken Salad, Ham Salad, and use in my Crabcakes and a few other things..)

For those in the WESTERN USA.... Hellman's = BEST.

Same product, same company, different name.

Learned that during my travels to Colorado!!
(one less food product to stuff in my CarryOn for extended visits!)

I put mayo on and in anything, I LOVE the stuff. My preferred is Blue Plate, it has a lemony zing that I adore. Bottom of my list is what a lot of people hand you when you ask for mayo **Miracle Whip** CRINGE** It's not mayo!  >:(

[C. Perry Rapier]

I know what you all mean about the consistency of mayo. If its chunky that means you can get in the jar and get a 'dollop' with no trouble. We use to eat mayo sandwiches. I learned later on it was something like ketchup and mustard.

And I like Hellmans. I THINK thats the one they call 'real' mayo.

[Duke Gilleland]

Figure it's what you were raised on at home. For us it was Miracle Whip. About 20 years ago, wife Cindy came across
an award winning chicken salad recipe that called for Hellmans. GREAT  stuff! No problem and I like it there but still prefer Miracle Whip as regular sandwich spread. We have Dukes here in Texas. Tried it and did not care for it. "Taste" is a funny habit! :-/

[C. B. Williams]

Do you know what this is?

[Mark R. Smith]

Ok it says mayo maker. Have questions. Can it also be used as a butter churn? I hate single task kitchen tools.
Next question did Griswold ever make one in cast iron?. ;D

[Sandy Glenn]

My preferred is Blue Plate, it has a lemony zing that I adore.

We finally got into that jar of Blue Plate that I brought home from the convention.  It's the BEST!  Far superior to Hellmans. 

I wish Blue Plate were available locally but it isn't.  I can get it online but it gets pretty pricey when you factor in shipping.

[C. Perry Rapier]

Hello Sandy. Thank you for this information. Now I wanna try that 'Blue Plate'. I've never heard of it before till now.

[C. B. Williams]

I will stick with my home made, with the whole egg. And I can get blue plate and hellmans.
The French know their stuff when it comes to cooking.

[C. Perry Rapier]

Folks used to make mayo at home a lot. I have an electric mixer that is right at one hundred years old and works as good as the day it was made. And one of the attachments I have that came with it, is an oiler to use when making mayo. Its a container that holds cooking oil and it has a spicket on it that can be turned on and off like a water faucet, and as your bowl goes around, the oiler adds to your mix at the rate you set it for.

[Claudia Killebrew]

Never tried Blue Plate. I could get it in FL, but it's not available here in MD. I did try Sauer's. Not bad, but I prefer Hellman's. As for Miracle Whip, my mother liked it, but I think it's gross.

Oh yes, Blue Plate is wonderful :)

Luckily in Georgia everybody carries Blue Plate mayo, even Sams Club. If you mail order it make it worth it, get the 128oz size  [smiley=drool1.gif]

We prefer Hellmans but have found that Burmans sold at Aldi's tastes just as good at about 1/3 less, We use both the Regular and Olive oil mayo's and love them.
