I'm convinced the majority of people pick favorite foods (spreads and toppings especially) according to whatever they were raised on. It's likely that $ played a big part in the preferred products of a family. In lean years ( the depression), the wife may have had to buy what was cheaper. If the family was doing better than many, displaying on the table a more expensive item was sort of the era's version of a Coach bag. My family was very poor in that era. Miracle Whip cost less, so it was the one my grandmother brought. It's been a widely preferred spread across my family for a long time...I also think the rest is bland goop. I'm pretty sure Miracle Whip would be my preference, but family background may well have played a bigger part. Anyway, whatever the grandparents ate will typically heavily influence one's own preference, as it's what one ate as a child. People should learn to realize that much of what one prefers has much to do with culture (and that includes finances, along with religion, ethnicity, etc.). I loved seeing the cast so vehemently espouse a preference for a product and then not even pick it. One even picked the forbidden Miracle Whip. On a regular basis, I'm forced into mayonnaise and can't tell one from the other. They're all equally bland and tasteless to me. I think it amazing they THOUGHT they knew their preference, but must never have bought the others. I think, to a point, we're all pretty brain washed on certain foods. 🤭🤫
This was hysterical! I grew up in a Hellmann's family - Miracle Whip NEVER crossed the threshold. My parents are Texans and my daddy on occasion would eat a dollop of mayo by itself...or as a dip using a jalapeno pepper to scoop it up.
It always cracks me up because I've been a Blue Plate fan for ages and every mayo ranking Blue Plate comes in first and everyone is always so shocked for some reason. I don't understand the Blue Plate hate, it's very reasonably priced and it tastes good.
Right!?! True deep south born and raised southerners were raised on Blue Plate. I never even heard of Duke's until I was in my 30's. Blue Plate is THE best and only real Mayonnaise! 💙
Of the brands in video, I believe Blue Plate is the only brand that just uses egg yolks instead of whole eggs (yolk and white) in their mayonnaise. (even the non-mayonnaise Miracle Whip uses whole eggs). I believe the use of just egg yolks is part of the reason Blue Plate came out on top. Compare Blue Plate with Kewpie Mayonnaise some time; Kewpie only uses egg yolks instead of whole eggs as well. Just using egg yolks gives the mayonnaise a noticeable boost in flavor. I'm pretty sure Hellman's used to only use egg yolks originally but now it's "whole eggs and egg yolk". Kewpie tastes more like how I remember Hellman's tasting in the past -- nowadays Hellman's is a bit bland. A recipe change didn't occur to me until I tried Hellman's Homestyle mayonnaise a couple years ago -- it's a bit more like how I remember Hellman's tasting but not quite there.
SO I DID THE MATH: Using a ranking where 1st place got 4 points and last got 0 points, I added it up. Out of a max of 12 possible points, here is how it broke down: Blue Plate got a score of 10 out of 12 for 1st Place. Hellmann's got a score of 8 out of 12 for 2nd Place. Duke's got a score of 6 out of 12 for 3rd Place. Miracle Whip got a score of 4 out of 12 for 4th place. (Blame Adam.) Kraft got a score of 2 out of 12 for LAST PLACE. If Adam had flipped Kraft with MC, MC would have had no points and Kraft would tie with Duke's.
@@NativeWarrior88 Um... dumb question: How does that relate to the numerical rankings? My comment was specifically about how the staff ranked the mayos and how that added up, not what anyone's opinion on Mayo is. You have a whole comment section to play in, so go start your fights there.
My mother grew up on a farm in SE Ky. They didn't have electricity, gas, used a wood stove for heat/cooking, carried water from a natural spring. They also used the spring pool to keep perishable foods cold. My mother hated mayo. I bet my grandma made it by whipping it forever like she did cake batter. As a child, I detested miracle whip and refused to eat anything that had it in, or on it. My mother always felt that ppl got poisoned using mayo. I guess they may have if they didn't keep it cold. I love Helmanns for some things and Dukes for others. Sometimes, I just just buy the one that is less expensive. Helmanns usually costs more except if it's on sale. Ty for your vids, I really enjoy them. I'm going to be 73 soon. I still cook in cast iron skillets. I love greens with country ham cooked in, homemade skillet baked cornbread, I can't stand cornmeal that has leavening already added.
So just get what’s cheapest. As long as it isn’t Kraft. MW has its place. It’s great on a canned pear, over ONE slice of iceberg lettuce. That dollop goes right in the dip.
It's made with exactly the same ingredients as regular mayo, just with extra spices. So yes, it is mayo. Idc if unpopular opinion. Facts are, it's still made with vinegar, oil, and egg yolks.
A Midwesterner who watches your videos - I LOVE Hellmann's! Never tried Duke's or Blue Plate. Kraft is terrible, and Miracle Whip should be outlawed. Curious now to try some Blue Plate.
As a Michigander by way of Florida (south of the "Southern" part of Florida) i agree to a point. I have tried Dukes, it's currently in my fridge, and it's good, but it's not noticably better or worse than the other big 3. Miracle Whip should not exist, Kraft is fine, I'd say Hellmann's and Dukes are basically equals, but I think the one I like best was never mentioned or tested, Heinz.
I grew up hating mayonnaise and never knew it was just because I was raised on Kraft. I began my adult life eating Miracle Whip (Murkle Whup), which I've hated ever since someone finally introduced me to Hellmann's in my early 20s.
@@michaelgoebel9370 No, not that I recall. It would be the grossest kind of false advertising if it did. Murkle Whup is the sandwich spread for people who don't like mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise, made fresh, is _super_ easy to do (~2 minutes) and you can create your own taste profile. Egg yolk, oil, Dijon mustard, seasonings like salt & pepper, some whisking action. Done. Superior to anything in a jar with preservatives.
@@Erica-en2qz Check out the video on French Cooking Academy's channel. It's old, so the production values aren't as good as now. But still a good how-to.
Blue Plate is what I grew up with and it has always been my favorite. I knew it was going to be first. (for the ones who's taste buds were working, lol) I will use Dukes if I cannot find Blue Plate. For the short time I lived out of the south, I did use Hellman's. However it was called Best Foods on the west coast. It works if you can't live without mayo, like me.
Hellmanns is good enough to eat right out of the jar....the very big jar that when people see you buying it they think youre the warden at an all girls correctional facility. True.
During a trip to the grocery store when the shelves were almost empty I needed mayo and all they had some was weird vegan pseudo-mayo stuff. But then I noticed on the bottom shelf that they had Blue Plate and it was on a buy one get the second for half off deal so I bought a couple of jars. I had never heard of it before but I must admit that it's a solid contender.
@@Miss_Camel It was a Kroger that I describe in my post above. Not sure if they normally have it because after using those 2 jars I was at a different store when I bought more.
63 yo Southerner. My parents, bro/sis n I hv always been BLUE PLATE! Tried em all except Miracle (Gro) Whip n always come back to BP! Duke’s has only become a fad recently due to online endorsement by cooks n it just seem to feed upon itself. Now, the Kewpie (Japanese) mayo is doing the same thing. But even it is tastier than Dukes. One solution: try making ur own fresh!
I've ordered Duke's since I was a kid before the "hype." My grandparents also uses JFG which was gross. I tried Blue Plate a couple years ago because I saw people on Facebook talking about how good it was. I thought it was just okay. I would buy it if I couldn't get Duke's or store brand. I guess we all have our preferred mayo.
Perry Malcolm- I agree. It's a lot of hype vs. market area availability and what people are accustomed to. Grew up on Hellmann's but later in life became a JFG fan. Tried Duke's repeatedly and just couldn't grow to like it let alone love it with the fervor others claim. To me it is very bland. That said, I'd eat it with a spoon before I'd cave to Miracle Whip which is only good for its intended purpose- salad dressing
I've always been a Best or Helman's fan (they are the same), I do remember Blue Plate and liking it. Never knowingly tried Duke's but I agree with Kraft and Miracle Whip in last place. I guess I need to find a source of Blue Plate in Arizona since it was way up there.
First Miracle Whip doesn't claim to be mayonnaise. It's salad dressing. All of those (except Kraft) are fine choices but sorry folks Kewpie is hands down the best.
No. Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise, but for some insane reason people often use it as a substitute. I honestly can't think of any plausible use for Miracle Whip as a food product, and the thought of slathering it on a salad is pretty disgusting.
Miracle Whip is a "dressing"--a mayo with seasoning. That was the closest that I could get to the SS Pierce restaurant "salad dressing" that we used for tuna salad when I worked at Friendly a million years ago. I still use it.
I was raised on Blue Plate mayonnaise and Mt. Olive pickles. When I gave Duke's to my family a few years ago, they gave it an enthusiastic 👍 ! Duke's has been our mayonnaise ever since.
Growing up in NY and living in KY last 20 years, have always been a Hellman's absolutist. My KY soldiers made me do a blind taste test about 7 years ago. Hellman's, Duke's, Kraft, and then that nasty Miracle Whip was the ranking I ended up with. Also me, never heard of Blue Plate, and will now seek it out. 62 and still not opposed to change.
"The best potato salad you can make" uses mustard - I should know, my mother's made it all my life- so Hellman's doesn't enter in. But yes Hellman's / Best is quite tasty.
I can taste Miracle Whip even if my taste buds are shot, nasty stuff. Blue Plate is pretty good, I love Duke's for potato or mac salad. My goto is Hellmann's, Kraft is probably the worst "mayo" on the market.
I agree with your take on Miracle Whip...nasty stuff 🤮 If you've ever tasted Heinz Mayonnaise (Burger King has those packets) that's actually worse than Kraft IMO
Blue Plate is the best, in my opinion. Liz and Ryan proved that. All I can do is pray for poor Adam. I just wish that it was easier to get my beloved Blue Plate here in Wyoming (originally from Georgia).
Blue plate is the best. My aunt, who gave me her recipe for pimento cheese, says I have surpassed her pimento cheese. She wanted to watch me make it. Two differences were the kind of onion we grated. She uses red and I used sweet. She uses olive oil based mayo and I use Blue Plate.
8 oz block of sharp cheddar cheese, grated 8 oz block of medium cheddar cheese, grated 4 oz pimentos, drained 1 TBSP sweet/Vidalia onion, grated with juice 1 tsp coarse black pepper Mix all together add enough Blue Plate mayonnaise to hold together and I usually add about 1/2 cup more if I’m putting it straight into the fridge because the cheese will soak it up. I don’t eat it. I just make it for family. :) my mom has to be my taste tester.
I was born & raised a southerner, but lived in Michigan 25 years now. I had never heard Blue Plate. After this, I ordered a jar from Amazon & it's now our favorite! Thanks!
Dukes. I had no idea that they made any other kind of mayonnaise. When I go to the grocery store all I see is Duke's that's why I grab it. It's been like that my whole life... I may have a blind spot for it. That being said after 50 years I ain't going to change now. When you find the best you stick with it.
as i say, "Dookees mayo" cause it tastes like 🤣 my family loves it. I prefer miracle whip which is not mayo...as I was conditioned to think. Salad dressing. "A sandwich isn't a sandwich without the tangy zip of miracle whip"
Adam.... you are my new fav. I love MW, I grew up on it. Mayo or not, it's the best for egg salads and tuna fish sandwiches. As I told my Duke's loving wife and son.... more for me!!!
If you are from a Southern state and you've never heard of Blue Plate something is wrong with your stores because Blue Plate is made in the food state Louisiana
Was surprised to learn Reily Foods moved Blue Plate mayo production to their plant in Knoxville, back in 2000. I could swear the label still says 'New Orleans' ... maybe b/c Reily Foods HQ is still there.
If you haven't guessed, I'm from New Jersey. Hellmann's is my mayo of choice. I've never had Duke's or Blue plate or Kewpie. My go to sandwich is rye bread , sliced ham , swiss cheese, Mayo and spicey brown mustard.
It was Duke's, but now that all manufacturers use soybean oil to make their mayo my pick is none of the above. Soybean oil hurts my gut, and aggravates my gallbladder. But I really miss tomato and Duke's mayo sandwiches.
Soybean oil is incredibly unhealthy. Its fatty acids break down into a substance that’s highly inflammatory in the gut and can exacerbate digestive issues, and IBS. Too bad, because we love Duke’s but just won’t eat it. We buy avocado oil based Mayo, which is a little heavy for my taste, but healthier.
@@samuelbean9928 I looked up the ingredients for Duke's with olive oil: water, olive oil, canola oil, soybean oil. Canola oil is another red flag oil. We were taught polyunsaturated oils were good for us - but they're not as they are very inflammatory (as is corn, sunflower - and possibly safflower but I just haven't done the research on that. You can buy high oleic sunflower and safflower which are somewhat safer to use). We use Chosen Foods avocado mayo. Sadly, I much prefer the taste of Duke's, but given how many tuna and turkey sandwiches I eat - I refuse to consume that much polyunsaturated oil.
I agree with Adam. Mayonnaise is Mayonnaise. Had Helman's, Dukes, Blue Plate, and you know what? It's all just sandwich lube. (Might get my southern card revoked for that comment.)
Feel exactly the same way. I can't differentiate between brands because its not the main flavor in a sandwich or burger. Same for salads - there's too many other things going on.
Blue Plate is definitely the best mayo! I've always heard how good Dukes was but it wasn't available in my area. I'm not a fan of the others but I'll eat it if I have to. With that being said I was recently in Pennsylvania and tried Duke's and it's now my second favorite mayo.
Blue Plate is the only true mayonnaise using egg yolks ONLY and no egg whites. Even America's Test Kitchen rates it as the best, but say they can't get it up north. Miracle Whip is technically a salad dressing.
My GRAMMA used Miracle Whip so end of story. Matt, your taste buds are first class, world class, first in show. I can also appreciate mayo, especially homemade. But this isn't an either / or subject - it's AND: MW is excellent in almost everything including: deviled eggs, homemade mustard potato salad, bologna sandwiches, tuna salad, and even scrambled eggs.
I think a lot depends on what you grew up with. There were lots of allergies in my family. My mother bought Miracle Whip (thinking it was egg free). So, I never ate mayonnaise until college. It wasn't better, it was just different. To this day, 50 years later, I still prefer Miracle Whip, because it's what I'm used to.
As an Englishman, I would always have said Helmann’s (Duke’s isn’t an option this side of the Pond), but then we tried a Polish brand called Winiary. Clear winner for half the price.
I'm from Michigan and had never heard of Duke's before moving to Texas. I've never liked mayonnaise but always like Miracle whip. But now I want to try Winiary. I love eggs.
I go to polish supermarkets in NYC to buy my Mayo even their Hellman’s tastes different? Or does it??? I will have to make my own blind taste of Mayos lol
I love Miracle Whip but fully acknowledge that it is not a traditional mayo. It needs to be in its own category. It’s perfectly acceptable to have a jar of regular mayo and MW in the fridge as their own separate condiments.
I was excited to see this episode! Born and raised in Georgia, blue plate all the way! I thought they might have used saltines instead of bread though. Holding my breath to the end hoping blue plate was in the lineup!
I was shocked that they even mentioned Blue Plate. I’m born and raised in Louisiana, where BP was created. It’s all my grandparents and parents ever used. I still use it, but have switched to the olive oil variety. Just as good, in my opinion. Got my cholesterol down, as well!
As a Russian, we love Mayo, but Winiary is the best. :) Edit: When I moved to Texas to be with my now Husband and kept going to parties everyone kept asking about the various potato, macaroni, egg, etc salads and people kept wondering what/how I made them. Slowly, I've started converting people to Winiary.
Hellman’s or Duke’s but I’m a Relocated Northerner, so Hellman’s has got to be #1. ETA: starting a gofundme for either Adam’s departure from the south or hospital bills, which ever comes first. 😄
My Louisiana relatives got me hooked on blue plate mayo. But I still make my bologna sandwiches with miracle whip, because that's just how I like them. No shame.
I've never had Duke's even though I used to live in Kentucky and I've never heard of Blue Plate. I usually buy Best Foods brand of mayo. It's the same company as Hellman's, just sold on the west side of the US. It's the same as Carl's Jr and Hardees, same company just different names depending on where you're located.
I've lived in Kentucky my whole life and never saw Duke's anywhere here until the last few years. I had heard so much about how good Duke's was I had to try it, and I don't like it at all. I thought it tasted nasty and I was so disappointed.
Poor Adam, he will be missed. Psst, great choice! Miracle Whip is my favorite *sandwich spread* because it is NOT "mayonnaise"! I moved to the South and tried Dukes a few years ago. Eh, it's okay but I prefer the tanginess of Miracle Whip--born and raised! What is Blue Plate? I've never heard of it. I have heard of Hellsman. That all said, I'll eat mayo if it's on a sandwich but if I have a choice, I go for the Whip of Miracles!
What a coincidence! I was just digging in the fridge for mayonnaise when this popped up!!! How did you know I was in the mood for mayonnaise? (It was Hellmann's for me). I may have to try Blue Plate.
Makes me want to do a taste test now. I usually use Hellman's. Big ole nope to Miracle Whip. I'll be looking for Blue Plate next time I am in the store. Never noticed it before.
My husband had the same problem. Also from Arkansas. They didn't have Duke's anywhere to be found. Now that he's safely in Florida he knows better! Lol
Hellman's, or Best Foods out here in California. Had a friend's mac salad that tasted so good, she said all she put in was Best Foods and a little salt and pepper. Been using it ever since. Kewpie is great, too.
I found that Duke's is a very assertive Mayonnaise, & doesn't do well by itself, or applications where the mayo needs to be subtle. However when combined with other aggressive flavors it really shines. So for subtle applications I use Blue Plate, & for an extra tangy application I use Duke's
I recently discovered Blue Plate, and absolutely love it. Bought a jar of Dukes the other day since everyone raves about it, and was severely disappointed. Glad to see that taste tests confirm my thoughts :)
It must not be big in the south because I've never heard of it until now. Definitely going to have to try it if this channel makes another video on it.
@@gseric4721 yes. I’m from southeast Louisiana and there is no better Mayo for a poboy , potato salad, etc.. If you ever come across some try it 😄❤️. If you’ve tried Dukes it’s very similar in color but with less vinegar taste.
I'm in East TN. Never heard of Blue Plate. I'll have to look for it. For over 3 decades I didn't care which mayo I had, so long as it was either Dukes or Hellman's. Then about 3 to 4 years ago, Duke's changed something. Now if I can't have Hellman's- I'll do without.
I’m not a Mayo person and my go to is Miracle Whip (I know I know that’s gunna get hate) but my go to to buy is Hellmans in my area. I always make everything by mixing both Mayo and Miracle Whip in my recipes. I have to get the top brand since I think I’ll really hate the taste even more if I don’t. Haven’t tried some of those brands.
@@luckytahlula6515 People rave over my potato salad and want the recipe. I tell I make with Miracle Whip, but will they use ? No. They use their bland mayo with all the other ingredients I use and still expect their potato salad to taste like mine. It doesn't. Miracle Whip is my favorite, always will be, and I'm not ashamed to say it.
A few years ago I was invited to a July 4th party in Buckhead (Atlanta/money). I was asked to bring deviled eggs, which got rave reviews and gobbled up immediately - dont think my husband even got one! Didn't have the heart to tell them I used Miracle Whip.
FYI, Hellmann's and Best Foods are the exact same product. Hellmann's is marketed to eastern US and Best Foods is marketed to western US. It even shows both names on the jar. I am partial to Best Foods/Hellman's myself. I had a friend tell me to use only Hellmann's for her potato salad recipe. She had no idea it was one in the same.
Miracle Whip is questionable at best as being a mayonnaise. Technically it's classified as a dressing. I've had Duke's twice in my life (that I'm aware of). Both times it tasted like the oil in it was old. Hellmann's is fine, but I'm not crazy about the texture. I've never tasted Blue Plate (that I'm aware of), so I can't comment on it. I don't care what anyone says, my favorite is Kraft's mayo. It's so smooth and creamy. I'd like to point out that it got low ratings here NOT because of its taste, but because it's "too white". That's no way to rate something in a "taste" test. Finally, when they began stocking Heinz Mayo around here I tried it and loved it. It replaced Kraft as my "go to" mayo. But then they turned back around and stopped stocking it. So I went back to Kraft. I'm going to buy some Blue Plate and see what I think.
Adam, don't worry about the Miracle Whip debacle. My mother loved Miracle Whip, and my dad loves Hellmans. They were married for 24 years (when my mother passed away). If they can live in a mixed household, I'm sure you'll be fine. As for me? I prefer Hellmans, but I'm not really tied to any mayo. I'll even eat Miracle Whip. But if I'm shopping and cooking, it's not Miracle Whip. It's also not Kroger's Brand, either. That stuff is runny like egg snot.
Miracle Whip is a Salad Dressing made by Kraft. Hellmanns and Dukes also have Salad Dressings. They all three also have Sandwich Spreads (Mayo and Relish blend).
What is this Blue Plate, and how did it become an option? My wife is a die hard Duke’s girl. Me, I prefer salad dressing over mayo, so give me the Miracle Whip.
Well, I did a full in sight taste test. Wife’s Dukes, my Miracle Whip, and Blue Plate. I’d give Blue Plate a minuscule edge over Dukes; however, I still prefer the texture and sweetness of Miracle Whip. I guess I’m like Adam in this video, if it is a buffer between my bread and lunch meat, it has served it’s purpose.
Loved this episode!❤ I loved that the mayonnaise loving contestants ranked everything pretty much the same except ranked the other person's favorite ahead of their own, and that's okay! Maybe they still really like their "own" brand but also recognize another good brand and maybe like variety. And since I trust their taste buds I want to try this "Blue Plate" now! As far as Adam, he admitted from the start that all mayonnaise tasted the same to him and that he was "no respector" of any particular one. So maybe it's fine that he picked Miracle Whip! I won't trust his tastebuds however because I despise miracle whip, but I will eat it if there is no mayo at all. Funny how everyone agreed on Kraft being last. Anyway, what a fun and exciting video, thanks!!😀
Blue Plate is the best Mayo of all time... A true Southern Mayo from Louisiana... Never listen to snobs who say Kewpie... It is the Grossest of all Time!
Hey Adam, I’m from the South, Lower Alabama and Miracle Whip isn’t bad. Sometimes you want something a little bit different on a sandwich and it’s not a bad thing. Although if you try to replace mayonnaise with it on potato salad, you will definitely have to relocate out of the south.
So my mom REFUSES to eat mayo, she ONLY uses Miracle Whip, and I prefer mayo. I learned to appreciate Miracle Whip for what it is, a sandwich spread that happens to be white like mayo but uses paprika. And Kraft makes it, so it's probably just mayo with paprika or their mayo is just Miracle Whip without paprika lol Thanks for the video, hilarious!
I only buy Hellman's (Best Foods in California), but I'm a Northerner. I've never had Duke's, so I'll have to try it when I visit family in the South. Miracle Whip is not mayo (yucch!)
We just started getting Duke's up north here a few years ago. Because of your videos I tried it, and I liked it. Now, if we had Blue Plate, I would try it also :)
@@KenS1267 I have a jar of it in my pantry. I'm in Florida. Publix sells it and so does WM. It's really good. I was raised on Hellmann's. Blue Plate is as good as Hellmann's and IMO both are better than Duke's. I'm not saying Duke's isn't good. It is. It's just not the best.
I have never heard of Blue Plate mayo. It must be good. I grew up on Hellmann's, I'm a Hellmann's girl. I've been wanting to taste Dukes & see what all the hype is about. They don't sell it where I live, I purchased a bottle when I was visiting a friend. I'm going to use it in a potato salad, & see what all the hype is about.
I don't really understand what I'm doing with my life, it's the weekend and I'm watching people eat mayonnaise online.
I know how you feel.😂
🤔 Same
Great right?😀
Congrats! You found the on ramp!!
Agreed. Not only did I watch it, but I enjoyed it.
"It must be Thursday. I could never get the hang of Thursdays."
I completely lost it at Liz's reaction to Adam putting Miracle Whip first.
Liz: YOU DID WHAT?!
🤣🤣🤣
Yup, revoke his Southern card, hell revoke his human card as well.
Because that's his real wife. Not the girl that plays his wife.
He's the only one that got it right.
That was my reaction too 😆
Miracle Whip is nasty.
I freaked out when helman's guy and the Duke's girl made such a big deal about their favorite mayo, and then chose the other one over their favorite.
LOL. That was hilarious.
It just mayo… not a religion!!
I'm convinced the majority of people pick favorite foods (spreads and toppings especially) according to whatever they were raised on. It's likely that $ played a big part in the preferred products of a family. In lean years ( the depression), the wife may have had to buy what was cheaper. If the family was doing better than many, displaying on the table a more expensive item was sort of the era's version of a Coach bag. My family was very poor in that era. Miracle Whip cost less, so it was the one my grandmother brought. It's been a widely preferred spread across my family for a long time...I also think the rest is bland goop. I'm pretty sure Miracle Whip would be my preference, but family background may well have played a bigger part. Anyway, whatever the grandparents ate will typically heavily influence one's own preference, as it's what one ate as a child. People should learn to realize that much of what one prefers has much to do with culture (and that includes finances, along with religion, ethnicity, etc.). I loved seeing the cast so vehemently espouse a preference for a product and then not even pick it. One even picked the forbidden Miracle Whip. On a regular basis, I'm forced into mayonnaise and can't tell one from the other. They're all equally bland and tasteless to me. I think it amazing they THOUGHT they knew their preference, but must never have bought the others. I think, to a point, we're all pretty brain washed on certain foods. 🤭🤫

She was rationalizing Duke’s coming in third like a helicopter mom consoling her darling for not becoming Mayonnaise Queen.

Blue Plate is what I’ve always used. I’ve tried others, but keep going back to Blue Plate.
I think blue plate is sweeter than the others. Always in my pantry and fridge. Now I need to check the oil source. Dang it.
Right!?! True deep south born and raised southerners were raised on Blue Plate. I never even heard of Duke's until I was in my 30's. Blue Plate is THE best and only real Mayonnaise! 💙
Of the brands in video, I believe Blue Plate is the only brand that just uses egg yolks instead of whole eggs (yolk and white) in their mayonnaise. (even the non-mayonnaise Miracle Whip uses whole eggs). I believe the use of just egg yolks is part of the reason Blue Plate came out on top.
Compare Blue Plate with Kewpie Mayonnaise some time; Kewpie only uses egg yolks instead of whole eggs as well. Just using egg yolks gives the mayonnaise a noticeable boost in flavor.
I'm pretty sure Hellman's used to only use egg yolks originally but now it's "whole eggs and egg yolk". Kewpie tastes more like how I remember Hellman's tasting in the past -- nowadays Hellman's is a bit bland. A recipe change didn't occur to me until I tried Hellman's Homestyle mayonnaise a couple years ago -- it's a bit more like how I remember Hellman's tasting but not quite there.
@@InvisibleAvenger I keep meaning to try kewpie. Is it even remotely similar to blue plate?
SO I DID THE MATH: Using a ranking where 1st place got 4 points and last got 0 points, I added it up. Out of a max of 12 possible points, here is how it broke down:
Blue Plate got a score of 10 out of 12 for 1st Place.
Hellmann's got a score of 8 out of 12 for 2nd Place.
Duke's got a score of 6 out of 12 for 3rd Place.
Miracle Whip got a score of 4 out of 12 for 4th place. (Blame Adam.)
Kraft got a score of 2 out of 12 for LAST PLACE.
If Adam had flipped Kraft with MC, MC would have had no points and Kraft would tie with Duke's.
THANK YOU
Blue Plate tastes like the bottom of a garbage can......
@@NativeWarrior88 Um... dumb question: How does that relate to the numerical rankings? My comment was specifically about how the staff ranked the mayos and how that added up, not what anyone's opinion on Mayo is. You have a whole comment section to play in, so go start your fights there.
I agree blue plate is the best. I've used hellman's and dukes before. Duke is a close 2nd.
My mother grew up on a farm in SE Ky. They didn't have electricity, gas, used a wood stove for heat/cooking, carried water from a natural spring. They also used the spring pool to keep perishable foods cold. My mother hated mayo. I bet my grandma made it by whipping it forever like she did cake batter. As a child, I detested miracle whip and refused to eat anything that had it in, or on it. My mother always felt that ppl got poisoned using mayo. I guess they may have if they didn't keep it cold. I love Helmanns for some things and Dukes for others. Sometimes, I just just buy the one that is less expensive. Helmanns usually costs more except if it's on sale. Ty for your vids, I really enjoy them. I'm going to be 73 soon. I still cook in cast iron skillets. I love greens with country ham cooked in, homemade skillet baked cornbread, I can't stand cornmeal that has leavening already added.
Miracle Whip is not mayo. But now that we've established this fact, it is also a perfectly valid condiment, and it is acceptable to like it.
Miracle Whip is salad cream. It should be compared to salad cream, not mayo.
Thank you for pointing that out before i did lol
So just get what’s cheapest. As long as it isn’t Kraft. MW has its place. It’s great on a canned pear, over ONE slice of iceberg lettuce. That dollop goes right in the dip.
It's made with exactly the same ingredients as regular mayo, just with extra spices. So yes, it is mayo. Idc if unpopular opinion. Facts are, it's still made with vinegar, oil, and egg yolks.
@@cristinaj4274 Preach! Truth!
A Midwesterner who watches your videos - I LOVE Hellmann's! Never tried Duke's or Blue Plate. Kraft is terrible, and Miracle Whip should be outlawed. Curious now to try some Blue Plate.
As a Michigander by way of Florida (south of the "Southern" part of Florida) i agree to a point. I have tried Dukes, it's currently in my fridge, and it's good, but it's not noticably better or worse than the other big 3. Miracle Whip should not exist, Kraft is fine, I'd say Hellmann's and Dukes are basically equals, but I think the one I like best was never mentioned or tested, Heinz.
I grew up hating mayonnaise and never knew it was just because I was raised on Kraft. I began my adult life eating Miracle Whip (Murkle Whup), which I've hated ever since someone finally introduced me to Hellmann's in my early 20s.
Does Miracle Whip say mayonnaise on the bottle?
@@michaelgoebel9370 No, not that I recall. It would be the grossest kind of false advertising if it did. Murkle Whup is the sandwich spread for people who don't like mayonnaise.
@@michaelgoebel9370 it’s “Salad Dressing”
Mayonnaise, made fresh, is _super_ easy to do (~2 minutes) and you can create your own taste profile. Egg yolk, oil, Dijon mustard, seasonings like salt & pepper, some whisking action. Done. Superior to anything in a jar with preservatives.
Yep, I make my own mayo. I use an immersion blender to make it easier even
Thanks! I may have to try that. 😊
While this is so very true and I do agree, Kewpie mayo is pretty good for something out of a jar.
@@Erica-en2qz Check out the video on French Cooking Academy's channel. It's old, so the production values aren't as good as now. But still a good how-to.
May have to do this this summer
Blue Plate is what I grew up with and it has always been my favorite. I knew it was going to be first. (for the ones who's taste buds were working, lol) I will use Dukes if I cannot find Blue Plate. For the short time I lived out of the south, I did use Hellman's. However it was called Best Foods on the west coast. It works if you can't live without mayo, like me.
Hellmanns is good enough to eat right out of the jar....the very big jar that when people see you buying it they think youre the warden at an all girls correctional facility. True.

Hey, Adam I am a Miracle Whip fan and born and raised in Georgia.
We gotta stick together. 🤝
During a trip to the grocery store when the shelves were almost empty I needed mayo and all they had some was weird vegan pseudo-mayo stuff. But then I noticed on the bottom shelf that they had Blue Plate and it was on a buy one get the second for half off deal so I bought a couple of jars. I had never heard of it before but I must admit that it's a solid contender.
I’ve never seen it before, do they have it at Kroger?
@@Miss_Camel It was a Kroger that I describe in my post above. Not sure if they normally have it because after using those 2 jars I was at a different store when I bought more.
@@krbkrbkrbkrbkrb which different store had it? I wanna tryyyyy
63 yo Southerner. My parents, bro/sis n I hv always been BLUE PLATE!
Tried em all except Miracle (Gro) Whip n always come back to BP!
Duke’s has only become a fad recently due to online endorsement by cooks n it just seem to feed upon itself.
Now, the Kewpie (Japanese) mayo is doing the same thing. But even it is tastier than Dukes.
One solution: try making ur own fresh!
Grew up with blue plate
I've ordered Duke's since I was a kid before the "hype." My grandparents also uses JFG which was gross. I tried Blue Plate a couple years ago because I saw people on Facebook talking about how good it was. I thought it was just okay. I would buy it if I couldn't get Duke's or store brand. I guess we all have our preferred mayo.
Perry Malcolm- I agree. It's a lot of hype vs. market area availability and what people are accustomed to. Grew up on Hellmann's but later in life became a JFG fan. Tried Duke's repeatedly and just couldn't grow to like it let alone love it with the fervor others claim. To me it is very bland. That said, I'd eat it with a spoon before I'd cave to Miracle Whip which is only good for its intended purpose- salad dressing
@@stalstonestacy4316 💯 % agree!
Yes! Exactly! Born and raised southerner here and yes Blue Plate is the true southerners Mayonnaise.
"I can't believe I put _ _ as first place. What's wrong with me?" 🤣🤣
I can't spoil the ending for others, that was too good!
Adding Matt to the prayer list. I hope he’s ok.
Wait something happened to Matt?? Not Covid I hope...
I've always been a Best or Helman's fan (they are the same), I do remember Blue Plate and liking it. Never knowingly tried Duke's but I agree with Kraft and Miracle Whip in last place.
I guess I need to find a source of Blue Plate in Arizona since it was way up there.
First Miracle Whip doesn't claim to be mayonnaise. It's salad dressing. All of those (except Kraft) are fine choices but sorry folks Kewpie is hands down the best.
Found the weeaboo.
No. Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise, but for some insane reason people often use it as a substitute. I honestly can't think of any plausible use for Miracle Whip as a food product, and the thought of slathering it on a salad is pretty disgusting.
Miracle Whip is not for salads, it's a sandwich spread n is delicious! Grew up on it w my Pepsi household up North. You guys hatin me yet?! 😂🤣😅
@@blackholesun3152 miracle whip AND Pepsi? I think we were born to be mortal enemies
@@blackholesun3152 It does say salad dressing on the label, or at least it used to.
Miracle Whip is a "dressing"--a mayo with seasoning. That was the closest that I could get to the SS Pierce restaurant "salad dressing" that we used for tuna salad when I worked at Friendly a million years ago. I still use it.
Yes wanted to say the salad dressing thing. Thanks
Does it have sugar, too? I remember eating MW and PB sandwiches as a kid, which suggests
1). MW has sugar
2). I had zero taste as a kid
@@llamasugar5478 It does. I get the light to save a few calories. 8>)
@@llamasugar5478 yes on the sugar in MW
MW isn't mayo, it's made out of completely different things.
Love how the chair they bought still has the sticker on it! 😁
We tried Duke's last year or in 2020 for the first time and we love it. Never heard of Blue Plate but now I'm curious.
Give BP a try. You’ll love it!
I was raised on Blue Plate mayonnaise and Mt. Olive pickles. When I gave Duke's to my family a few years ago, they gave it an enthusiastic 👍 ! Duke's has been our mayonnaise ever since.
Blue Plate was all my great grandfather would eat if you served him any other kind he'd throw the food in your face
Blue Plate is New Orleans mayo, so the best mayo since New Orleans has the best food.
Growing up in NY and living in KY last 20 years, have always been a Hellman's absolutist. My KY soldiers made me do a blind taste test about 7 years ago. Hellman's, Duke's, Kraft, and then that nasty Miracle Whip was the ranking I ended up with. Also me, never heard of Blue Plate, and will now seek it out. 62 and still not opposed to change.
The sticker still on the folding chair is the most southern thing in this video 😂
I'm a Hellmann's guy through and through. Know as Best on the Westcoast, the best potato salad you can make, uses Hellmann's. :)
Lyle K - hellmann's is so fluffy; makes a mighty fine sandwich lubricant, potato salad, deviled egg, etc.
"The best potato salad you can make" uses mustard - I should know, my mother's made it all my life- so Hellman's doesn't enter in. But yes Hellman's / Best is quite tasty.
I can taste Miracle Whip even if my taste buds are shot, nasty stuff. Blue Plate is pretty good, I love Duke's for potato or mac salad. My goto is Hellmann's, Kraft is probably the worst "mayo" on the market.
I agree with your take on Miracle Whip...nasty stuff 🤮
If you've ever tasted Heinz Mayonnaise (Burger King has those packets) that's actually worse than Kraft IMO
Kraft is what you buy when you want a lot of something at a cheap price but you aren't picky about quality or flavor.
Blue Plate is the best, in my opinion. Liz and Ryan proved that. All I can do is pray for poor Adam. I just wish that it was easier to get my beloved Blue Plate here in Wyoming (originally from Georgia).
Dukes hands down!
Miracle Whip😤 not even Mayo.
Blue Plate has been my favorite my entire life! It’s a Louisiana tradition!
Blue plate is the best. My aunt, who gave me her recipe for pimento cheese, says I have surpassed her pimento cheese. She wanted to watch me make it. Two differences were the kind of onion we grated. She uses red and I used sweet. She uses olive oil based mayo and I use Blue Plate.
But what kind of bread? And do you toast it?
8 oz block of sharp cheddar cheese, grated
8 oz block of medium cheddar cheese, grated
4 oz pimentos, drained
1 TBSP sweet/Vidalia onion, grated with juice
1 tsp coarse black pepper
Mix all together add enough Blue Plate mayonnaise to hold together and I usually add about 1/2 cup more if I’m putting it straight into the fridge because the cheese will soak it up.
I don’t eat it. I just make it for family. :) my mom has to be my taste tester.
Wonder bread isn’t what it used to be. I’m on the search for good soft white bread, but we’ve never toasted the bread. 🤷🏻♀️
@@sheilaharrison8547 I posted the recipe below. Hope you like it.
@@GeekaG Thank you so much for sharing!
I was born & raised a southerner, but lived in Michigan 25 years now. I had never heard Blue Plate. After this, I ordered a jar from Amazon & it's now our favorite! Thanks!
Dukes. I had no idea that they made any other kind of mayonnaise. When I go to the grocery store all I see is Duke's that's why I grab it. It's been like that my whole life... I may have a blind spot for it. That being said after 50 years I ain't going to change now. When you find the best you stick with it.
Duke's is the best. Always. Forever.
as i say, "Dookees mayo" cause it tastes like
🤣
my family loves it.
I prefer miracle whip which is not mayo...as I was conditioned to think.
Salad dressing.
"A sandwich isn't a sandwich without the tangy zip of miracle whip"
Never heard of Duke's until the last 6 months, evidently expanding their market
Never heard of Duke's until I started watching this channel. I'm a Blue Plate girl.
Adam.... you are my new fav. I love MW, I grew up on it. Mayo or not, it's the best for egg salads and tuna fish sandwiches. As I told my Duke's loving wife and son.... more for me!!!
If you are from a Southern state and you've never heard of Blue Plate something is wrong with your stores because Blue Plate is made in the food state Louisiana
I'm from Florida and I've never heard of it. I am solidly a Duke's girl and always have been but I'm a native of NOLa so I'm willing to try it.
Was surprised to learn Reily Foods moved Blue Plate mayo production to their plant in Knoxville, back in 2000. I could swear the label still says 'New Orleans' ... maybe b/c Reily Foods HQ is still there.
Next time you cross Earhart and Washington, look for the Blue Plate Lofts
If you haven't guessed, I'm from New Jersey. Hellmann's is my mayo of choice. I've never had Duke's or Blue plate or Kewpie. My go to sandwich is rye bread , sliced ham , swiss cheese, Mayo and spicey brown mustard.
Make one for me!!!!
OMG it's so funny, I read the title and thought to myself "There is only Dukes why are we talking about this?!?"
And I read the title and said there is only Hellman's, so why are we talking about this !
Funny, since Dukes didn't win first for anyone, and neither did Hellmans.
I'm proud to say we here in Louisiana make the best food suck it Dukes and Hellmann's
@@kaldogorath Spoiler alert!
@@kaldogorath it's all good lol
Aww yes....I grew up with Blue Plate. IT IS THE BEST!!!
It was Duke's, but now that all manufacturers use soybean oil to make their mayo my pick is none of the above. Soybean oil hurts my gut, and aggravates my gallbladder. But I really miss tomato and Duke's mayo sandwiches.
Give sir kensington a try. They offer soy-free mayonnaise options.
Soybean oil is incredibly unhealthy. Its fatty acids break down into a substance that’s highly inflammatory in the gut and can exacerbate digestive issues, and IBS. Too bad, because we love Duke’s but just won’t eat it. We buy avocado oil based Mayo, which is a little heavy for my taste, but healthier.
How about Dukes with olive oil?
@@samuelbean9928 It is still mostly a combination of Canola and Soybean oil, with just enough Olive oil to be the "first ingredient".
@@samuelbean9928 I looked up the ingredients for Duke's with olive oil: water, olive oil, canola oil, soybean oil. Canola oil is another red flag oil. We were taught polyunsaturated oils were good for us - but they're not as they are very inflammatory (as is corn, sunflower - and possibly safflower but I just haven't done the research on that. You can buy high oleic sunflower and safflower which are somewhat safer to use). We use Chosen Foods avocado mayo. Sadly, I much prefer the taste of Duke's, but given how many tuna and turkey sandwiches I eat - I refuse to consume that much polyunsaturated oil.
Hey y’all. Blue Plate is from New Orleans and it’s great. Definitely very Southern. That being said, I love Dukes and Hellman’s also. Can’t go wrong.
I agree with Adam. Mayonnaise is Mayonnaise. Had Helman's, Dukes, Blue Plate, and you know what? It's all just sandwich lube. (Might get my southern card revoked for that comment.)
I grew up with salad dressing instead of Mayo.
Nope, you good. I agree.
Feel exactly the same way. I can't differentiate between brands because its not the main flavor in a sandwich or burger. Same for salads - there's too many other things going on.
I don't think mayonnaise is that special, but some mayonnaise is literally so bland it makes the rest of the sandwich bland.
Blue Plate is definitely the best mayo! I've always heard how good Dukes was but it wasn't available in my area. I'm not a fan of the others but I'll eat it if I have to. With that being said I was recently in Pennsylvania and tried Duke's and it's now my second favorite mayo.
Blue Plate is the only true mayonnaise using egg yolks ONLY and no egg whites. Even America's Test Kitchen rates it as the best, but say they can't get it up north. Miracle Whip is technically a salad dressing.
My GRAMMA used Miracle Whip so end of story. Matt, your taste buds are first class, world class, first in show. I can also appreciate mayo, especially homemade. But this isn't an either / or subject - it's AND: MW is excellent in almost everything including: deviled eggs, homemade mustard potato salad, bologna sandwiches, tuna salad, and even scrambled eggs.
Agree Agree!
That was so funny!! Adam...don't walk around for a while without a guard. Lol
I liked the plate flip... followed by the off camera, "You did WHAT?!?!?!".
I personally have a gag reflex with mayo, so sub it out with yogurt or sour cream.
I think a lot depends on what you grew up with. There were lots of allergies in my family. My mother bought Miracle Whip (thinking it was egg free). So, I never ate mayonnaise until college. It wasn't better, it was just different. To this day, 50 years later, I still prefer Miracle Whip, because it's what I'm used to.
As an Englishman, I would always have said Helmann’s (Duke’s isn’t an option this side of the Pond), but then we tried a Polish brand called Winiary. Clear winner for half the price.
Winiary is unbeatable
Winiary is the king, mayonnaise that actually tastes of eggs, not just vinegar or mustard
I'm from Michigan and had never heard of Duke's before moving to Texas.
I've never liked mayonnaise but always like Miracle whip. But now I want to try Winiary. I love eggs.
@@RebaHamiltonHomeschool Google say Walmart Carrie’s Winiary. And of course Amazon list it as Polish Mayo.
I go to polish supermarkets in NYC to buy my Mayo even their Hellman’s tastes different? Or does it??? I will have to make my own blind taste of Mayos lol
I love Miracle Whip but fully acknowledge that it is not a traditional mayo. It needs to be in its own category. It’s perfectly acceptable to have a jar of regular mayo and MW in the fridge as their own separate condiments.
So true!
I only like Miracle Whip Lite because I don't really like mayonnaise. But when I cook for other people, it's Dukes...always.
Bless you for loving the people you cook for 😘😂
That is so kind of you. I'd eat at your place anytime!
I like how both Liz and Ryan both ranked their favorite 3rd. Great video!
I was excited to see this episode! Born and raised in Georgia, blue plate all the way! I thought they might have used saltines instead of bread though. Holding my breath to the end hoping blue plate was in the lineup!
I was shocked that they even mentioned Blue Plate. I’m born and raised in Louisiana, where BP was created. It’s all my grandparents and parents ever used. I still use it, but have switched to the olive oil variety. Just as good, in my opinion. Got my cholesterol down, as well!
Haha not the saltines! My dad used to give saltines with mayo to us as a snack all the time!
I was holding my breath too, I was so happy they included it! 💙💛
Blue Plate on saltines are the best, remember those from when I was a kid also raised in Georgia. 😊
As a Russian, we love Mayo, but Winiary is the best. :)
Edit: When I moved to Texas to be with my now Husband and kept going to parties everyone kept asking about the various potato, macaroni, egg, etc salads and people kept wondering what/how I made them. Slowly, I've started converting people to Winiary.
My father loved Dukes, my mother loved Hellmans. I like Miracle Whip or Hellmans...I know...I know!
We've eaten Hellmans for years but switched to Duke's because it had a nice tange and seems less greasy.
Hellman’s or Duke’s but I’m a Relocated Northerner, so Hellman’s has got to be #1.
ETA: starting a gofundme for either Adam’s departure from the south or hospital bills, which ever comes first. 😄
Yes, I grew up using Miracle Whip! We only used real mayo when making other salad dressings. Even for tuna or egg salads we used M W!
I'll admit Miracle Whip doesn't taste like mayo, but I like it best!!!
Miracle whip tastes like fermented celery
I Love Miracle Whip💖
@@NoThankUBeQuiet Mayo tastes like @$$ and vinegar which is worse than fermented celery!
Miracle Whip is not a mayo but I love it WAY better than raw egg, lard and vinegar (mayo)!
How and why are you guys fermenting celery?
My Louisiana relatives got me hooked on blue plate mayo. But I still make my bologna sandwiches with miracle whip, because that's just how I like them. No shame.
I've never had Duke's even though I used to live in Kentucky and I've never heard of Blue Plate. I usually buy Best Foods brand of mayo. It's the same company as Hellman's, just sold on the west side of the US. It's the same as Carl's Jr and Hardees, same company just different names depending on where you're located.
I've lived in Kentucky my whole life and never saw Duke's anywhere here until the last few years. I had heard so much about how good Duke's was I had to try it, and I don't like it at all. I thought it tasted nasty and I was so disappointed.
Never had dukes grew up on hellmans. Just tried dukes and made the switch!
Blue Plate only for my family.
My grandma was actually cremated and put in a Duke’s Mayonnaise jar. Im legally obligated to love it.
Poor Adam, he will be missed. Psst, great choice! Miracle Whip is my favorite *sandwich spread* because it is NOT "mayonnaise"! I moved to the South and tried Dukes a few years ago. Eh, it's okay but I prefer the tanginess of Miracle Whip--born and raised! What is Blue Plate? I've never heard of it. I have heard of Hellsman. That all said, I'll eat mayo if it's on a sandwich but if I have a choice, I go for the Whip of Miracles!
Blue Plate is from New Orleans.
Me too!!!
What a coincidence! I was just digging in the fridge for mayonnaise when this popped up!!! How did you know I was in the mood for mayonnaise? (It was Hellmann's for me). I may have to try Blue Plate.
Makes me want to do a taste test now. I usually use Hellman's. Big ole nope to Miracle Whip. I'll be looking for Blue Plate next time I am in the store. Never noticed it before.
I have used Blue Plate more than Hellman's due to the price most times. They're interchangeable to me. Duke's tastes like egg salad to me.
I had to come back to this two years later, because I've tried them all now. I get the hype about Hellmans... It is the best.
Don't sweat it too much, Adam. My dad, who's an Arkansas native, prefers MW to real mayo. He's wrong, but it can happen to Southerners.
My husband had the same problem. Also from Arkansas. They didn't have Duke's anywhere to be found. Now that he's safely in Florida he knows better! Lol
@@c.michellesparks2925 lol
Hellman's, or Best Foods out here in California. Had a friend's mac salad that tasted so good, she said all she put in was Best Foods and a little salt and pepper. Been using it ever since. Kewpie is great, too.
Adam....I grew up eating Hellmans...went to my mother in laws, tried Miracle Whip. Loved it...but still put Hellmans in potato salad
I found that Duke's is a very assertive Mayonnaise, & doesn't do well by itself, or applications where the mayo needs to be subtle. However when combined with other aggressive flavors it really shines. So for subtle applications I use Blue Plate, & for an extra tangy application I use Duke's
I recently discovered Blue Plate, and absolutely love it. Bought a jar of Dukes the other day since everyone raves about it, and was severely disappointed. Glad to see that taste tests confirm my thoughts :)
It must not be big in the south because I've never heard of it until now. Definitely going to have to try it if this channel makes another video on it.

I'm in East TN. Never heard of Blue Plate. I'll have to look for it. For over 3 decades I didn't care which mayo I had, so long as it was either Dukes or Hellman's. Then about 3 to 4 years ago, Duke's changed something. Now if I can't have Hellman's- I'll do without.
Duke's or nothing. Heinz is a decent substitute if you absolutely cannot get Duke's.
Have you done a blind taste test?
Duke's forever! When I go married, I told my husband there are two things that better be in this house... Duke's mayonnaise &Texas Pete hot sauce!
I’m not a Mayo person and my go to is Miracle Whip (I know I know that’s gunna get hate) but my go to to buy is Hellmans in my area. I always make everything by mixing both Mayo and Miracle Whip in my recipes. I have to get the top brand since I think I’ll really hate the taste even more if I don’t. Haven’t tried some of those brands.
The "secret" of my grandma's potato salad is mixing Helmann's and Miracle Whip!
I'm known for my chicken salad. I use Miracle Whip and I always will. It would not even come close to my chicken salad if I used mayo.
@@luckytahlula6515 People rave over my potato salad and want the recipe. I tell I make with Miracle Whip, but will they use ? No. They use their bland mayo with all the other ingredients I use and still expect their potato salad to taste like mine. It doesn't. Miracle Whip is my favorite, always will be, and I'm not ashamed to say it.
We’ll put you on the prayer 🙏🏽 list
A few years ago I was invited to a July 4th party in Buckhead (Atlanta/money). I was asked to bring deviled eggs, which got rave reviews and gobbled up immediately - dont think my husband even got one! Didn't have the heart to tell them I used Miracle Whip.
FYI, Hellmann's and Best Foods are the exact same product. Hellmann's is marketed to eastern US and Best Foods is marketed to western US. It even shows both names on the jar. I am partial to Best Foods/Hellman's myself. I had a friend tell me to use only Hellmann's for her potato salad recipe. She had no idea it was one in the same.
Miracle Whip is questionable at best as being a mayonnaise. Technically it's classified as a dressing.
I've had Duke's twice in my life (that I'm aware of). Both times it tasted like the oil in it was old.
Hellmann's is fine, but I'm not crazy about the texture.
I've never tasted Blue Plate (that I'm aware of), so I can't comment on it.
I don't care what anyone says, my favorite is Kraft's mayo. It's so smooth and creamy. I'd like to point out that it got low ratings here NOT because of its taste, but because it's "too white". That's no way to rate something in a "taste" test.
Finally, when they began stocking Heinz Mayo around here I tried it and loved it. It replaced Kraft as my "go to" mayo. But then they turned back around and stopped stocking it. So I went back to Kraft.
I'm going to buy some Blue Plate and see what I think.
I believe Heinz Mayonnaise should of been in the mix. Practically, every restaurant serves it. Great video!
I don't use Heinz anything. Anything that has to do with John Kerry has got to taste like crap.
I like it and I really don't think of John Kerry when I eat it. 🤔
Where is Matt?
He’s the one who knows food better then anyone on the crew.
I think I remember somewhere that Matt hates Mayo soooooo
I don't think he likes mayo....
Adam, don't worry about the Miracle Whip debacle. My mother loved Miracle Whip, and my dad loves Hellmans. They were married for 24 years (when my mother passed away). If they can live in a mixed household, I'm sure you'll be fine.
As for me? I prefer Hellmans, but I'm not really tied to any mayo. I'll even eat Miracle Whip. But if I'm shopping and cooking, it's not Miracle Whip. It's also not Kroger's Brand, either. That stuff is runny like egg snot.
I need to find out what this blue plate mayo is all about
Made in louisiana and every good poboy in the state has it on it. Lol.
Miracle Whip is a Salad Dressing made by Kraft. Hellmanns and Dukes also have Salad Dressings. They all three also have Sandwich Spreads (Mayo and Relish blend).
What is this Blue Plate, and how did it become an option?
My wife is a die hard Duke’s girl. Me, I prefer salad dressing over mayo, so give me the Miracle Whip.
It’s a Louisana mayonnaise. Try it.
@@chereknalorn our local Kroger shows to carry it. I’ll try it.
OK, I bought some Blue Plate last night… now to see how it is.
Well, I did a full in sight taste test. Wife’s Dukes, my Miracle Whip, and Blue Plate.
I’d give Blue Plate a minuscule edge over Dukes; however, I still prefer the texture and sweetness of Miracle Whip.
I guess I’m like Adam in this video, if it is a buffer between my bread and lunch meat, it has served it’s purpose.
Loved this episode!❤ I loved that the mayonnaise loving contestants ranked everything pretty much the same except ranked the other person's favorite ahead of their own, and that's okay! Maybe they still really like their "own" brand but also recognize another good brand and maybe like variety. And since I trust their taste buds I want to try this "Blue Plate" now! As far as Adam, he admitted from the start that all mayonnaise tasted the same to him and that he was "no respector" of any particular one. So maybe it's fine that he picked Miracle Whip! I won't trust his tastebuds however because I despise miracle whip, but I will eat it if there is no mayo at all. Funny how everyone agreed on Kraft being last. Anyway, what a fun and exciting video, thanks!!😀
Blue Plate is the best Mayo of all time... A true Southern Mayo from Louisiana... Never listen to snobs who say Kewpie... It is the Grossest of all Time!
Upon realizing he put Miracle Whip in first place: “Maybe I DO have Covid.” 😂😂😂😂
Grew up in TN, but family is from AL. Love me some Blue Plate - could always find it when we went to visit the grands.
Hey Adam, I’m from the South, Lower Alabama and Miracle Whip isn’t bad. Sometimes you want something a little bit different on a sandwich and it’s not a bad thing. Although if you try to replace mayonnaise with it on potato salad, you will definitely have to relocate out of the south.
I liked Miracle Whip when it had sugar and oil. Now there is a bunch of junk in it. Soybean oil and High Fructose! Yuck.
Yeah, I won! I grew up on Blue Plate, love it!
Dukes or blue plate hands down
So my mom REFUSES to eat mayo, she ONLY uses Miracle Whip, and I prefer mayo. I learned to appreciate Miracle Whip for what it is, a sandwich spread that happens to be white like mayo but uses paprika. And Kraft makes it, so it's probably just mayo with paprika or their mayo is just Miracle Whip without paprika lol
Thanks for the video, hilarious!
I only buy Hellman's (Best Foods in California), but I'm a Northerner. I've never had Duke's, so I'll have to try it when I visit family in the South. Miracle Whip is not mayo (yucch!)
You must try Dukes. You’ll NEVER go back!
I'm a Hellman's girl.....won't buy Duke's as their ingredient list isn't good. Miracle Whip is definately not mayo...that's for sure.
I'm a southern girl born and raised...however hellmans mayo is my favorite...dukes is just okay. But it seems to be quality more so than miracle whip
@@annetheurich507 So many people recommend it! I'll have to try it for sure!
Heard about it but once they got it up north only one I will eat
Miracle Whip for me, my Wife and Mother in Law are Helmans fans. I pray for them. One of my Grand Mothers was a Dukes fan Bless her heart.
Hellman's is the only mayonnaise that we need to be talking about !
We call it "Best Foods" here. But it's the same thing.
why? its incredibly average
Nah.
This was fun! Thanks for the laughs!
We just started getting Duke's up north here a few years ago. Because of your videos I tried it, and I liked it. Now, if we had Blue Plate, I would try it also :)
I'm in the south...NC... and have never seen Blue Plate lol
The only place I find Blue Plate in Texas (D/FW area) is at Wal-Mart. It's legit. Duke's is also good.
@@DavidHuffTexas I grew up in GA and I don't remember seeing Blue Plate after the 1970's. I legit thought they had gone out of business.
@@KenS1267 I have a jar of it in my pantry. I'm in Florida. Publix sells it and so does WM. It's really good. I was raised on Hellmann's. Blue Plate is as good as Hellmann's and IMO both are better than Duke's. I'm not saying Duke's isn't good. It is. It's just not the best.
Blue Plate started in New Orleans in the 1920’s. It’s good stuff.
I have never seen Duke's Mayo. I really like mayonnaise. So now I feel like I have to seek this out. It's a definite quest starting now.
Blue Plate only in our home😀
You are truly a visionary 🙌
I have never heard of Blue Plate mayo. It must be good.
I grew up on Hellmann's, I'm a Hellmann's girl.
I've been wanting to taste Dukes & see what all the hype is about. They don't sell it where I live, I purchased a bottle when I was visiting a friend. I'm going to use it in a potato salad, & see what all the hype is about.
A sandwich just isn’t a sandwich without the tangy zip of Miracle Whip!!!
But on a burger mayonnaise I don’t care what brand.
Grew up a Kraft Mayo girl!! Since becoming vegan used veganaise for years but YO HELLMAN'S!! KUDOS on excellent VEGAN mayo option!! 🤗🤗
I've gotten into using Mayo lately. I haven't been a mayo person but settled on Dukes. Well now i have to go try blue plate.
