dsiets- if you dont manage to find Duke's mayo in your area, just email me. I will just mail you a bottle via USPS Priority Mail.
Just got a phone call from a friend in town who lurks here. He says that he got his Duke's mayo at the Meijer's store on Ann Arbor-Saline Road. He says to ask a store employee for it, and if they dont have it in stock, they will get it for you, in about 3 working days.

A couple of my friends are on their way from here in Louisiana to Traverse City for a family reunion . Thet are pulling a 5th wheel camper I could have loaded it down with Duke's and made all the Yankees happy.

Miracle Whip is nothing more than a Yankee plot to poison southerners. Look it up!

Either / or, makes me no nevermind. Whatever is handy.

If you've got mayo, you can make your own "Miracle Whip".
1 cup mayo,
1/3 cup white sugar,
2 tablespoons apple cider (or white wine) vinegar;

if you want, add the juice of one half of a small lemon.

I much prefer Hellmann's/ Best Foods mayo.

This is one of life's great ponderables. If I ever make it up the mountain I intend to ask the Dalai Lama about this. As well as what happens to that missing sock and why in skeet I sometimes miss the low 6 on the first try and hit it on the option.

I'm right near a regular Walmart every Thurs. so I'll start there to check out this condiment phenom. After that I'll check the classifieds here. Ammo for Mayo.

We have both "regular" Walmart stores around here, and "Super Centers."

I have found that there are many items that are only carried in the Super Center stores, which is a bit aggravating for me. The regular Walmart is much closer to where I live, and the demographics are such that the regular store has a much lower percentage of "People Of Walmart."

However, I need to go to the Super Center, where I am much more likely to have a Strange Encounter, to get things like Duke's, decent mustard, re-load cards for our cell phone service (Total Wireless), and a bunch of other stuff.

I don't like either one of the damn things. Mustard or BBQ sauce fills my need for condiments.

Yup, Hellmanns all the way. You can never have enough on your sandwich or burger.

Thanks to an older thread on this we've switched to Duke's. It really is that much better, much richer.

It's not sold at the closest Walmart to us, my wife picks it up on her shopping excursions at another one.

I don't like the taste of MW. However, my apparently unsophisticated palate is unable to tell any meaningful differences between brands of mayo.

Have not had MW in years. Used to like it, a lot.

Wife does all the shopping, and we use a fair amount of mayo.,

Real mayo for me.

There's something else. All mayonnaise is "real" mayonnaise. What, is there fake mayonnaise out there?

Miracle Whip only in my home. Never could stand mayo on anything.

They have essentially the same main ingredients. I just find Miracle Whip smoother and tastier.

I usually don't touch the stuff anymore. The exception is MW on a BLT and Dukes on a hamburger.
All other sandwiches get some good spicy senf

Yep, that's exactly what we learned in school.

We recently gave Blue Plate a trial run and liked it. It was light years ahead of the mess that Hellman's makes, but not quite as good as Duke's, IMO. Blue Plate is definitely worthy of putting on a BLT made with homegrown tomatoes.

Miracle whip for me. Could almost eat it with a spoon.

Though if I had to choose only one common flavor enhancer it would be mustard.
