Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip?

    Usually neither. If I have to choose I would go with Miracle Whip though. It just seems less gelatinous to me.

    Neither. I make my own cooked salad dressing (my great grandmother's recipe) that includes apple cider vinegar and mustard powder.

    (but seriously: my experience is 100% the opposite of the oatmeal's. Miracle Whip or nothing, but it's nothing to do with calories or anything.)

    Given the choice, I would take a good mayonnaise. Miracle Whip just tastes weird to me. Too sweet, maybe? My personal preference is for mayonnaise and dijon mustard on my sandwich (usually one on the top, and one on the bottom).

    I would say no to both (mostly because I think both taste gross) as they are high calorie and fat as far as condiments go. Go for something lighter, like mustard or plain greek yogurt.

    You dip your fries in plain greek yogurt?

    I don't love either but I always choose MW over mayonnaise if I'm having a BLT or macaroni salad .

    Neither. I don't like them. The only time I'll even touch mayo is on a Wendy's JBC.

    Yuck to both. Mustard is my thing. I have an aversion to any kind of white edible substance like sauces, condiments, etc. It goes back a long way.

    Mayo. Unless I forget to steal enough of the little packages from a gas station, and they only have miracle whip ones then I might if there is no mustard and ketchup.

    neither usually, about all I use either for would be tuna salad and as a binder for some salad dressings and either or works, I buy what's on sale. Honey mustard is definitely my fav on sandwiches and by far honey dill with fries or chicken fingers, I've been told its a local thing.

    Mayo... but only because I've never tasted MW. And I buy the Mayo with lime juice in it. Tastes yummy.

    Miracle whip is too tangy.

    Haha! I do that, too! Well, I keep condiments in the house, too, but I am not above grabbing a few ketchup packets or something as I walk by. My favorite gas station has Horseradish sauce packets sometimes and I like that with tuna, but not enough to buy a jar, so I usually take a couple.

    I like Hellmann's Mayo. I really only use it when I make a tuna wrap though. I usually use a variety of mustard(s) that I have.

    Miracle Whip is too sweet.

    I prefer Duke's mayonnaise. I think it's only available in the south or maybe had a different name other places.

    I grew up on Miracle Whip and don't hate it, but I prefer mayo.

    I prefer a spicy/hot mustard. I don't really like mayonnaise. I might eat miracle whip if it was a choice of that or setting my tongue on fire.
