There are European brands I've been trying. They're pretty good. Made with different oil than hellmans. hellmans makes me nauseated now. I found them in the polish/Greek type aisle.
I legitimately never tried mayonnaise (knowingly) until I was like 15. My family bought Miracle Whip and I cannot explain to you how much I despise it. But we would occasionally get Subway and I LOVED their mayonnaise so I was very confused for a long time lol. Needless to say, no more miracle whip for me!
I like all three but i use them for different things really. Kewpie and helmans are my goto for most mayo things sandwiches and dipping and making sauces and are basically interchangeable for me. but I really do prefer using miracle whip as a dressing for tuna, chicken, and pasta salads. mainly because thats what i grew up with and how my family made them. theres room in my fridge for all three. also i usually buy olive oil version of the helmans not the original i dont find them to be all that different tasting but its just what i grab.
@@slowthriller LOVE IT ! I’m from PA but when I joined the Navy and was stationed in the South. That was it bro! Anything but Dukes will make y’all puke!
I have a chef friend who wrote many cook books and cooked for michelin starred restaurants. One time I asked him why he doesn't have a recipe for mayo and he said that in the end he prefers helman's to most homemade and even pro ones. I tend to agree, although, I'm making flavoured mayo from time to time. Re MSG... yes, people need to snap out of the BS. Every time you reduce tomatoes you get MSG.
As an American I have always made my homemade mayo with just egg yolks, oil and a tiny bit of salt and its exactly how I like it. Will add some acid later for specific stuff.
I never liked Mayonnaise until I tried Kewpie now I use it all the time, I revisited the other brands to see if I would like them but no they are not going to be in my pantry.
I watch a vlog by a Japanese man who loves putting mayo on so much, and I was like, are you kidding me? On dishes as opposed to just sandwiches? Maybe Kewpie explains why he loves it so much. Now I must find some.
I found it yesterday in an Asian specialty shop in my city in Denmark. It came with the insane price tag of 65 DKK (~$9.64) for a 500 gram bottle, while real "quality" mayo from a normal shop costs like 15 DKK (~$2.22). I'll try it today - it better be worth the price! :P
It was very good, which could maybe make it worth 2x, or even 3x the price of regular mayo, but I think over 4x the price is pushing it. I will probably buy it again at some point, but it won’t be a regular item in my pantry. 🙃
I still need to try Kewpie…and it may not have made a difference in the end…but, you should’ve used classic vs. organic Hellmann’s. There is a difference. And thank you for not trying the lite stuff. I will be trying Kewpie soon.
Miracle whip is sweet compared to regular mayonnaise. So, I wouldn't say they could be used "interchangeably" per say. Miracle whip is for people who prefer sweet vs. Salty mayo (Like me 😃)
I got introduced to Kewpie by Sam the Cooking Guy. Good stuff. As for MW, that stuff can be consigned to the trash heap of culinary history. I’ve never liked it. Growing up, my mom used to make mayonnaise herself. She used an extra egg yolk in hers, which leans it towards Kewpie. She’d also put in a small dollop of Dijon mustard and fresh ground pepper before blending it up. As olive oil became more readily available, she’d use that too. Her homemade mayonnaise was the best.
@@matt4398 it doesn't matter who you vote for now, America is collapsing. I just hope my state succeeds again so the filth in DC no longer has control over it.
I always hated any kind of Mayo or Miracle Whip. Just hated them. Give me plain before that crap. Until ….. I tasted Kewpie Mayo and also learned how to make my own. I love Kewpie mayo!
These are the only two products that I refuse to buy generic. Miracle Whip straight up isn’t mayo and as much as I tried to replicate Kewpie at home (with relatively satisfying results), it’s not the same as the real thing. Hellman’s and Kewpie are the only two brand items in my shopping cart xD
Side note: I clicked on your video specifically because you didn’t use a clickbaity title like “The Untold Truth about Kewpie Mayo”. Thank you good sir
I love Miracle Whip, it goes great on a sandwich, it has a sweet taste, probably because it has tons of sugar in it, I dont know that for a fact. I only eat it for special sandwiches where I want that taste. Just bought Kewpie yesterday for some Hawaiian Mac Salad, cant wait to try it. I am from Chicago as well, and Hellmans lived in our fridge.
I noticed recently that Hellmans (Beat Foods out west) was using soybean oil. I am trying to stay away from soy anything and have had a helluva time trying to find Mayo without it - do you have any suggestions?
I tried kewpie for the first time, of course on it's own to understand the flavor profile of the mayonnaise, and I didn't really like it. However, when use as a condiment should be, it shows its true flavor in contrast with whatever you use it on.
I'm looking forward to trying the Japanese Mayo. I did go to my kitchen we have Dukes and and Kraft Mayo in my American kitchen. Dukes have 0 sugar naturally in Kraft has less than 2% which is not even on the nutrition label ...a 0 carbohydrates or sugar. I didn't think they did. As mayonnaise isn't sweet unless you're using low fat or even miracle whip which yuck! That stuff Definitely have sugar. It's sweet and it just is nasty lol. I'll definitely be trying out the Japanese Mayo this week. We love mayo in this house so I am excited to try it. What would American Mayo taste like with a little bit of MSG added.
kewpie is becoming a new favorite for me. So many uses. I put it on sandwiches, hot dogs with mustard, brats, i make Spicy mayo, it sounds gross, but add some along with an an egg and some shredded garlic to your instant ramen to make it richer and creamier. Pure umami. The way of ramen shows this method, it's popular in japan i guess and after trying it i see why. Just have to get the right amount of water because it dilutes the soup base just a tad.
yeh these rich kids are way to picky... its not organic so it must be bad... stfu Japan mayo has sugar in it also this guy is a idiot tbh. miracle whip is good af just like mayo.
Yum! I love mayo. We have all those mayos except for the Miracle Whip. One of my mates was Dutch and we got some Dutch fries and they served them with some Dutch mayo which he claims is the best. I’ve never thought about a whole world of mayonnaise varieties before 😅😂
The Dutch don’t call it mayo, they call it friets sauce, they use it for deep fried snacks and has less fat than an average mayo. I love that sweet flavor actually
@@eduardohernando2849 actually as a person from The Netherlands i have to Correct you. We have FrietSauce that is similar to mayo but less fat. and we have Regular Mayonaise wich has normal amount of fat.
Oh if only you could try our Belgian mayonaise. Especially the brand 'Devos & Lemmens' (preferably the red lid one) is hands up the best. Very good with fries, perfect with bread an chicken from the oven.
I love miracle whip but it is not mayo. To suggest it is primarily a survival food meant for the great depression is offensive because it is delicious regardless of the era in which it was created. IMO, miracle whip is more like a dressing that can be customized just like more traditional Mayo is not Ranch. Similarly, kewpie is way sweeter than regular American mayo, and I thought it was disgusting the first time I had it 15 years ago, but now I've grown used to the very rich and distinct flavor it provides. Compared to the more blank canvas of duke's/hellmans, Miracle Whip is more flavorful, acidic and has some sweetness as you mentioned. I use all three of them differently and sometimes together depending on what I'm in the mood for. I like to compare to having gelato, ice cream, and sorbet in the freezer, there are some similarities but all are delicious depending on your craving.
MSG is great. Miracle Whip is Satan’s condiment. We always had it in the house when I was growing up because my brother loves it. But he also doesn’t like bacon, so I think we can all agree that his taste buds are broken.
FYI Helmans isn't available up here in the PNW = Pacific North West all we have is best foods and they say it's the same thing but with a different label. I want some helmands first so I know if they are the same or different.
Hellmann's Is Best Foods & Visa Versa, The Name Is Interchangeable. It Solely Depends On What Side Of The Country You On Like East Coast, West Coast Mid West.😉
"American" mayo when the only American thing about it is the brand. I wonder if the "kewpie is much better" rhetoric that seems to be so popular would hold up if people gave the accurate "French vs Japanese" label.
I've always been indifferent on Miracle Whip, as someone who doesn't really care for mayo in general. I would prefer not to use it, but growing up it was the only kind my father ever bought so it grew on me a little. Really I prefer normal mayo if I must/choose to use it, however if I'm eating something like a BLT it doesn't taste right without Miracle Whip.
Try Belgian Mayo, It is the best mayo ever made. it's sour and full. perfect! That's why you put mayo with belgian/french fries. The japanese mayo is amazing with fish, but Belgian is still the best ever made!
Miracle whip never really was supposed to substitute for real mayo. It was like magarine a light version of something. In some salads, etc. salad mayo or mircale whip is actually a little less hefty and with its acidity you can eat more :) That is where it already stopps for me as well because reaal good mayo is great stuff.....sadly all american stuff tastes even worse than anything else...even here in europe it is hard to find good mayo because people want "light" stuff and reading 80% fat on the box seems to work and people actually dont want to buy good mayo. Same with proper milk. People here dring half fat milk, H-milk (which islonglasting milk and tastes gros to me). Thats why some homecooks here have really twisted behaviours and tastebuds. :)
Yoyo. If you dug the video, come say what up on the O.A. Discord - discord.gg/aFQ4h4BXg4
Used Kewpie TODAY, to make tuna salad. I can honestly say it's the best tuna salad I've ever had.
Heck yeaaa
There are European brands I've been trying. They're pretty good. Made with different oil than hellmans. hellmans makes me nauseated now. I found them in the polish/Greek type aisle.
Way too sour for me
I get very excited whenever I see a resurgent supply store carries a giant tub of kewpie
lolol, me too. They sell the big tubs at one of my local Asian markets, I have yet to buy it tho. It just get's me excited.
What's a "resurgent" supply store?
just in case you weren’t aware, the stuff sold at Costco isn’t the same Kewpie. It’s an American formula and more like Hellman’s.
I legitimately never tried mayonnaise (knowingly) until I was like 15. My family bought Miracle Whip and I cannot explain to you how much I despise it. But we would occasionally get Subway and I LOVED their mayonnaise so I was very confused for a long time lol. Needless to say, no more miracle whip for me!
Happy to help :)
Try making a Miracle Whip and peanut butter sandwich sometime…trust me I was hesitant at first too.
Same!! Grew up with miracle whip and I can’t stand it!!
Bro, kewpie tastes like miracle whip
@@khaleesi_redrain5474Bro, kewpie tastes like miracle whip

I dig the mayo neutrality. Good insight.
Everyone should try Blue Plate... Best Mayo Ever! Just my opinion!
Try duke's
@@slowthriller Ive had dukes. Better than hellmans, for sure IMO.
@@slowthriller
LOVE IT ! I’m from PA but when I joined the Navy and was stationed in the South. That was it bro! Anything but Dukes will make y’all puke!
The only Mayo you should be buying is Kewpie or Dukes. Both are amazing
I have a chef friend who wrote many cook books and cooked for michelin starred restaurants. One time I asked him why he doesn't have a recipe for mayo and he said that in the end he prefers helman's to most homemade and even pro ones. I tend to agree, although, I'm making flavoured mayo from time to time.
Re MSG... yes, people need to snap out of the BS. Every time you reduce tomatoes you get MSG.
I use miracle whip for potato salads and similar stuff. It tastes WAY better than regular mayo in salads like this in my opinion.
Miracle Whip has a tang and consistency that regular mayo doesn’t
Honestly, I love all 3. They all uave their place. Mayo, American or Japanese is for sandwiches for sure though. Any type of sandwich.
Kewpie is my favorite but every now and then i crave the tang of miracle whip. Kinda want to make a hybrid mayo hmm
Japanese one is good because it doesn't have sugar. In main courses, savory trumps sweet.
As an American I have always made my homemade mayo with just egg yolks, oil and a tiny bit of salt and its exactly how I like it. Will add some acid later for specific stuff.
I never liked Mayonnaise until I tried Kewpie now I use it all the time, I revisited the other brands to see if I would like them but no they are not going to be in my pantry.
There's also Duke's, available in the south East, which is an all yolk mayo
I watch a vlog by a Japanese man who loves putting mayo on so much, and I was like, are you kidding me? On dishes as opposed to just sandwiches? Maybe Kewpie explains why he loves it so much. Now I must find some.
I found it yesterday in an Asian specialty shop in my city in Denmark. It came with the insane price tag of 65 DKK (~$9.64) for a 500 gram bottle, while real "quality" mayo from a normal shop costs like 15 DKK (~$2.22). I'll try it today - it better be worth the price! :P
Was it worth it?
Update?
It was very good, which could maybe make it worth 2x, or even 3x the price of regular mayo, but I think over 4x the price is pushing it. I will probably buy it again at some point, but it won’t be a regular item in my pantry. 🙃
@@Lemonz1989 thanks for the reply 🙂
Just make it yourself. There are tons of Japanese Mayo recipes on line.
Hated mayo until I became an adult. Now its Duke's all day
I still need to try Kewpie…and it may not have made a difference in the end…but, you should’ve used classic vs. organic Hellmann’s. There is a difference. And thank you for not trying the lite stuff. I will be trying Kewpie soon.

Count me on team Miracle Whip. I hate mayo.
Do a comparison with canned tuna fish! I prefer Miracle Whip with tuna!!
once u go kewpie, u never go back....
Kewpie tastes great but I also just like the original packaging because it's so much easier to use than a jar or the American squeeze bottle.
Miracle whip is superior

What was that other Japanese mayo brand you were showing? I've never seen any other brand besides Kewpie, and even that is super hard to find.
Food snob: I am neutral on Miracle Whip and in the same breath proceeds to trash talk it.
I think all the "Like"s were just a subliminal message telling me to Like the video.
It worked.

What funny for me about miracle whip is I prefer miracle whip egg salad over Hellman’s egg salad
🇯🇵!!!Best Mayo!!
I noticed recently that Hellmans (Beat Foods out west) was using soybean oil. I am trying to stay away from soy anything and have had a helluva time trying to find Mayo without it - do you have any suggestions?
Primal kitchen, I believe they use avocado oil. I like it, doesn’t have that nice eggy taste Hellman’s/Best does though
tbh the amount they use isnt enough to do u harm for like 80 years.
Should have included Duke's in the mix. (no sugar)
They got an honorable mention. I chose Hellman's bc it's easier to find.
Dukes Heavy has corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup
Now this makes me wonder... what if Hellman's used MSG in their recipe?

Miracle whip is not mayo. It's dressing
Legally, you're correct.
Miracle whip is gross
I have no idea what it is a dressing for though. Salad? Gross. Tuna, chicken, potatoe? ew.
its got mustard in it thats the only difference,.
is it because the pinky is out but Kewpie mayo tastes like mayo with miracle whip in it
Miracle whip is a salad dressing bud I have never seen anyone put it on a salad
kewpie is becoming a new favorite for me. So many uses. I put it on sandwiches, hot dogs with mustard, brats, i make Spicy mayo,

choose one.
yeh these rich kids are way to picky... its not organic so it must be bad... stfu Japan mayo has sugar in it also this guy is a idiot tbh. miracle whip is good af just like mayo.
It is a depression era struggle meal, in that you will struggle to eat it, and you will be so depressed that you will no longer have the will to live.
Miracle Whip is what all Mayo whishes it could be!
Its like it doesint matter what it is as long as it comes from a miniature over crowded island in the ocean its just superior am i right
MSG is way better than salt for those with high blood pressure!

Make mayonnaise as one would, only use yolks, sub rice wine vinegar for lemon juice and add a pinch of MSG. Boom. That's kewpie.
