Mayo or Miracle Whip?

[Gunny]

Being a good Southern, redneck white boy, I won't touch mayo. Stalin invented it, I'm sure. I just don't know the exact plot behind it. :laugh:

I'll use MW every time. Sandwiches, tuna salad ....

Anyone else?

Both.

Mayo on ham sammiches
MW in egg salad
Both in deviled eggs
MW on chicken sammiches
Mayo on BLTs

Neither. I also don't like Ketchup, mustard, or steak sauce. Why ruin a good piece of meat?

"Current primary ingredients are water, soybean oil, vinegar, HFCS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFCS), sugar, modified corn starch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_corn_starch), and dried eggs. The HFCS and corn starch are made from non genetically modified maize (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_maize).[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_Whip#cite_note-6) Ingredients making up less than 2% of product include salt, mustard flour, paprika, spice, natural flavor, potassium sorbate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_sorbate), enzyme modified egg yolk, and dried garlic.

Miracle Whip does not meet the minimum requirement of 65% vegetable oil to be labeled as mayonnaise as dictated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration."

When I was a kid we always had Miracle Whip and called it Mayonnaise. We also called all pop coke.

Hah. We never had any mayo. :)

What people call sodas is regional. When I lived in FL, every convenience store was a 7-11 and any carbonated beverage was a Coke. So you were going to the 7-11 to get a Coke even if you were going to Lil General for a Sprite. :laugh:

Here, when I was young, they were "sody waters" and you went to the "i-i-i-i-ce house to get one. That's the best way I can put that without say "ass-house".:laugh:

When I lived in Kansas it was a "pop". The first time I got asked if I wanted a "pop" I was ready to throw down. :laugh:

Gaffer. Agreed. The way I look at it. Who really cares whether we use Mayo, or MW? And I always called it Coke, or Pepsi. People in the Midwest used Pop, while I remember always hearing everybody say "SODA".

Used to love Miracle Whip in Tuna, with chopped onion, celery, and even Bacon bits (when they were popular).

Why do we always seem to find more reasons to argue, and disagree about the dumbest things these days?

Makes little, if any sense when so much more in this crazy, mixed-up World is GOING DOWN THE TUBES???

Before I read this thread. Miracle Whip wasn't one of the most important things I would have been thinking about.

Let 'em claim what they want, be insulted, cry in their Wheaties what-the-fuck-ever.. Peace, dude. I'm not here to fight with anyone. I posted my political views in the appropriate place to give you an understanding of me. This thread is about Miracle Whip and mayo. I meant it as just a means of lightening up the mood around here. But guess WHO keeps dragging it down?

I don't think I know better than anyone. I voice my opinion. That's it. I post crap like this for fun. Nothing else. There's no politics behind it. Just entertainment. You know there ARE those of us who who can't just go out and party, right? When I ask you to lighten up, why do you get so offended?

Go back and look at your post. You tried to politicize a thread about freakin' mayo and MW. You don't want any part of me. None. And I'm holding back, trying to get along and trying to get other people to come here. And if you think I won't go off on your ass, ask around.

You're pissing me off and I don't care who you think you are ... let it go. Please. I guarantee you won't like the results otherwise. I'll light your ass up so fast you'll think you're a leftover Christmas tree getting burned in July.

I had no idea that cauliflower could be made into so many other dishes, like substitute mashed potatoes and they're pretty damn good! A good chef can do many wonderful things, I'm learning.

I'm mildly diabetic, controlled for the most part with changing my diet. When the Doc told me I needed to quit eating potatoes at every meal, I felt like eating a bullet. But it's not so bad with almost no starches as it turns out! Cauliflower mashed 'potatoes' satisfies my craving for that starchy goodness and my blood sugar doesn't spike after I've made a pig of myself at the dinner table.

it's recommended to refrigerate in order to keep the taste consistent. Haven't you ever seen those little packets of mayo on the shelf??? It most certainly doesn't need to be refrigerated. It won't go bad.


This may sound disgusting, but mayo isn't a dairy product, so it doesn't need to be treated like one. Of course, some people may not like room temperature mayonnaise after they're used to eating it cold -- so decide for yourself.

Too much work.

You get out of it what you put in it.
If ya want a Dagwood ya gotta build dat baby!
Sliced roast beef works well as a substitute for bologna with the same ingredients.
I buy the garlic bologna or rather did back when I made such sammiches. :laugh:-Tyr

Trigg I looked it up and was surprised at what I found, this was the first one I opened but some of the others said no, so go figure.



Yes it does - but it has nothing to do with being made with eggs. Mayo made without eggs needs to be refrigerated to.

Makes no difference to me but it makes sense, with the vinegar and/or lemon in Mayo they are saying no it doesn't need to be refrigerated, as for me mine will stay in the fridge until I use it :laugh:

Just for Giggles I ran a search on if MW needed to be refrigerated and there was no response, seems no one cares :laugh:

No. MW users don't have to have the obvious explained to them like mayo users. :laugh:

Says on the jar "Refrigerate after opening". ;)

Keep in mind that these are answers from regular people, and "we" should be wary enough to know how regular people are sometimes.

I refrigerate most stuff except for vinegar based things like worcestershire or basalmac (sp?) and typically mustards. Ketchup and BBQ sauce I refrigerate because it's high in sugars. I also refrigerate hot sauce and Sriracha only because they get funky if left at room temps.

But if you've ever home-made your own mayo which is pretty easy to do and it's really, really good, basically it's raw egg whites and oil whipped together with a Kitchen Aid, a little lemon juice and whatever you want to spice it with.

I hear they are especially good with miracle whip.

Yes they are! Fresh though...not frozen. Can't get enough of them.

Q. WHAT HAPPENS IF I LEAVE
MAYONNAISE UNREFRIGERATED FOR A
LONG PERIOD OF TIME?
A. From a food safety standpoint, commercial mayonnaise
and mayonnaise-type dressings are perfectly stable when stored
at room temperature after opening. Quality, not safety, is the
only reason the labels on these products suggest that they be
refrigerated after opening. Refrigeration ensures that the
commercial mayonnaise keeps its fresh flavor for a longer
period of time.


Here is another from the FDA states it can be stored at room temp without issue.. (20c)

Lock, J.L. and Board, R,G., 1994. The fate of Salmonella enteriditis PT4 in deliberately
infected commercial mayonnaise. Food Microbiology 11, pgs. 499-504
Summary:
“A total of 30 samples (24 different varieties) of commercial mayonnaise deliberately
inoculated with Salmonella enteritidis PT4 have been studied. The fastest death rate
of the test organism was obtained with a fat-free mayonnaise pH 2.6. There was a
trend indicating that the antimicrobial attributes of mayonnaise were enhanced when
the pH become more acid, especially with acetic acid as the acidulant. The looseness
of the correlation of death rates with pH in the range 4-5 may well reflect the
contribution of the diverse range of ingredients other than acids to the antimicrobial
properties of this commodity. One general statement is possible, in the majority of
mayonnaises S. enferitidis was protected to a limited extent by storage at 4°C viz a viz
storage at 20°C.”
Raghubeer, Errol V., Ke, Jim S., Campbell, Michael L., and Meyer, Richard S., 1994. Fate
of Escherichia coli 0157:H7 and Other Coliforms in Commercial Mayonnaise
and Refrigerated Salad Dressing. Journal of Food Protection, Vol. 58, pgs. 13-18
Summary:
“Commercial mayonnaise and refrigerated ranch salad dressing were inoculated at two
levels with two strains of Escherichia coli 0 157:H7, a non-pathogenic E. coli, and the
non-fecal coliform Enferobacter aerogenes. Results showed that at the high
inoculation level (>106 colony forming units [CFU]/g) in mayonnaise stored at room
temperature (ca. 22” C) both strains of 0157:H7 were undetected at 96 h. At the high
inoculation level, all strains of coliform bacteria tested survived longer in salad
dressing stored at 4°C than in mayonnaise stored at 22°C. The 0157:H7 strains were
still present at low levels after 17 days. The survival time in the low-level inoculum
(lo* CFU/g) study decreased, but the survival pattern in the two products was similar
to that observed in the high-level inoculum study. Slight differences in survival among
strains were observed. The greater antimicrobial effect of mayonnaise may be
attributable to differences in pH, water activity (aW), nutrients, storage temperature,
and the presence of lysozyme in the whole eggs used in the production of commercial
mayonnaise. Coliform bacteria survived longer in refrigerated salad dressing than in
mayonnaise particularly at the high-level inoculum. Both mayonnaise (pH 3.91) and
salad dressing (pH 4.5 1) did not support the growth of any of the microorganisms
even though survival was observed.”

So there you all go scientific conclusive PROOF Mayo does NOT need to be refrigerated for safety only the quality of the product and taste.... The ph and acidic value will kill all bacteria that is damaging to humans..

So are you saying that scientific testing is NOT good enough for you. Once again it is NOT about safety it is about QUALITY or how it will taste. The refrigerated Mayo will TASTE better but the room temp will not HARM you

Personally I store it in the fridge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Y'know, if you used MW, this wouldn't be a contentious issue. :laugh:

[aboutime]

NOT RECOMMENDED but.... Let's all see who wants to brag about using MAYO that has been stored at room temperature on your food. Or, try making some sandwiches with MAYO for your lunch, and let the sandwich sit in a bag, or container...not in a refrigerator, for more than eight hours. Then eat it.

If you happen to make it through the following day without making you sick. Let us know how that worked out.
