I am a Duke's man, but with two kids and a wife at home, we currently use the Aldi brand. Add a splash of lemon, and it tastes similar to Duke's. The oddest thing I add Mayo to is my chili dog. I don't put it when I eat a hot dog plain, but a little on the bun before you add chili is great.

Who remembers pear salads? A pear half out of a can with a dollop of mayo in the middle, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and a cherry on top. I never understood this combination but there was a plate at every church pot luck and occasionally on moms dinner table.
Ate it every Sunday after church, still do quite often.

I grew up in a low income household. My sister and I weren't allowed to drink a whole coke. We had to share a bottle of coke when we had coke. Mayonnaise was a staple so we ate a lot of it on sandwiches. We even ate Mayonnaise sandwiches and were happy with them. I don't remember the brands we had back then but it was probably the cheapest Mother could find. I found this debate interesting for this reason.

We had both Dukes and Blue Plate in our refrigerator so I decided to put them against each other with nothing to distract. I tried a small amount of each on the tip of a teaspoon. Both were good but I got a distinct cardboard taste from the Dukes. For that reason I like the BP better. BP has been our go to for many years. Dukes did have a stronger flavor which is probably due to them using oleoresin.

I thought I was the only one that had "mah-nase" sandwiches growing up. Our brand was Food Club back then, yep like you the cheapest for the same reason. I guess that's why I buy Great Value now, old habits and tastes the same as what I had back then.

One of my favorite things ever when I was younger was to take a couple huge scoops of Blue Plate and dip the cheese Doritos in it, or even better to make a Doritos mayo sandwich. My dad made plain Lays chips Mayo sandwiches when we were growing up so I guess I tried all chips. Cheese Doritos were so good though, cool ranch were too.

It’s true. Mustard is the same way.
I agree wholeheartedly, mustard is mustard is mustard unless it’s spicy brown mustard and that’s a whole nuther conversation. That being said someone who doesn’t appreciate the fine nuances of mayonnaise probably wears crocs. With socks even.

I find mayo to be a integral part of any sandwich creation, and also, a vital part of summer tomato consumption, so, since we are going to the Duke's mayo bowl, it would seem a legitimate poll, and I would imagine some good answers since so many of y'all, including myself, have a BMI of over 20% (which I like to think simply means you enjoy life)

Recently, I have gone back to Blue Plate after 10 years with Duke's.....that said, I grew up on Hellman's.....but this past year, w/ home grown tomato's, I simply found that I prefer Blue Plate on a fresh cut tomato.

With the above stated, I am, for the time being, taking my household back to Duke's in support of our bowl invitation, and will hold Duke's, et.al. responsible for my future purchasing selections based on how we (STATE) is treated on our bowl experience.
I f*cking love mayo. So much so that I won't eat a sandwich without mayo on it. (PB&J being an exception.)

I have been to at least two hamburger cookouts put on by "friends" that didn't have mayo as a condiment. When I found out there was no mayo, I said "Excuse me?! Where is the nearest grocery store?" Then, I went to the grocery and came back to the cookout with a big jar of Hellmann's mayo. I told the party hosts straight-up that I'm not eating a hamburger without mayo.

No mayo at a cookout? That's like having a wedding with no bride.

If Hellman's is all you have, you might as well have Miracle Whip.
Whoa chief . . . that's crazy-talk. When's the last time you tried Hellmann's?

I live in Northern Virginia. The grocery stores around here (sadly) don't carry Blue Plate, and a couple of stores only recently started carrying Duke's. Thus, I've been eating Hellmann's for years.

Hellmann's is excellent mayo.

I'm amazed when I encounter someone that is violently opposed to mayo. (I put these people in the same class as those that prefer creamy peanut butter.)

To the mayo-haters in this thread, I pose this question: does/did your mother also hate mayo?

My theory: mayo-haters learn to hate mayo in the homes they grew up in.

Simply the best.
