(32,656 posts)For some people, this may depend on what part of the country they live in. Duke's may not be available everywhere.

(5,455 posts)But the price has soared and now I buy Dukes or other less expensive brands which have the same Ingredients

(19,662 posts)Another recent find was vegan baby bel cheese rounds. Darn good!
Phentex
(16,685 posts)like creamier than before but the taste isn't much of anything. Still, it works!
Walleye
(43,758 posts)Giant has started carrying Dukes so I have to try it.
Maybe my taste buds are not refined but I swear that Giant brand mayonnaise actually is Hellmans, like many store brands are the real thing in a different package.

(7,649 posts)Hellman's seems to offer more varieties, such as olive oil, light, etc. At least that is the case where I shop.
On the other hand, Mom raised us on Kraft Miracle Whip, so what do I know??

(16,385 posts)My main complaint with it is that its a tad too sweet.
CrispyQ
(40,644 posts)& the blue lid is just okay & the green lid sucks, so Hellman's. Never heard of Duke's. Best Foods is the other main brand here.
soldierant
(9,267 posts)I'm in the past of the countr where one can see both Best Foods and Hellman's West of us it's all Best Foods, east of us Hellman's. Same prudoct, same maker.
CrispyQ
(40,644 posts)I didn't know that. I think we also have Kraft. Colorado front range, here.
soldierant
(9,267 posts)And I think Kraft is a different recipe (unless it was bought up while I wasn't looking.)

(25,355 posts)I grew up on Miracle Whip. Used to buy Smart Balance mayo but sometimes it is hard to find in local grocery stores, so one time when I couldn't get it, I tried Hellman's olive oil mayo. Now it's the only one that I buy.

(8,537 posts)I have tried others and no thank you. Although Krafts is not bad.

(48,815 posts)But the quality has been slipping since they got bought out.
Curious to try Dukes.

(10,238 posts)Mayonnaise is as weird to me as Miracle Whip must be for them.

unc70
(6,492 posts)Will be having a tomato sandwich with Dukes for lunch. I find Hellmans to be too sweet. Miracle Whip is not even mayonnaise.
(It has less vegetable oil than is legally required to be called Mayo, and it has added sugar.)

(15,359 posts)long, but if it's not hard, I would make really small batches.
jmowreader
(52,877 posts)You will need:
1 pasteurized egg at room temperature
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup light-flavored oil
Install your Whisk beater.
Step 1 is to put the egg, salt and lemon juice in the mixer. You MUST use the lemon juice as it stabilizes the emulsion.
Step 2 is to set the mixer to low and beat until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Step 3 is most crucial: add the oil drop by drop until half of it's in, beating it in thoroughly after every drop. At halfway through add it in a very slow stream. Adding the oil too fast is a sure way of getting a mess rather than mayonnaise.
If you want to add pepper, mustard or whatever, do that in Step 1.

If your mayonnaise is bland, you have the wrong mayonnaise.

(249,605 posts)The only other choice here is the store brand. I've never heard of Duke's.

(12,046 posts)Thats cheap aldi brand its all the same to me. Homegrown tomatoes are essential for a BLT, type of mayo matters none.

(983 posts)Uses whole eggs, so it tastes better.
You just have to find an Asian grocery store.
