For me, it’s mayo and it’s Kraft’s Real Mayo. Growing up in a small Southern town with a small grocery store, there was mostly just Kraft and maybe a regional brand, like Dukes. My Mom only ever bought Kraft’s so that’s the taste I like the best. Miracle Whip is salad dressing, a whole other flavor I never acquired a liking for.
Mayo. And in a household where the bread, pasta, soap, and laundry soap are all homemade, perhaps it’s not surprising that the mayo is also homemade. I’m a sick pup, I know.
I agree and it is obviously mayonnaise, which is a simple natural and delicious product as opposed to Miracle Whip which has a boatload of artificial and tasteless components. But this is a decades old argument. I’ve made my case.
Miracle Whip, please.
This is a trick question.
The correct answer is: neither.
Correct.
Beat me to it.
On my ham sandwich mayo with a little honey mustard mixed in.

Mayo. And I’m OK with “Just Mayo” (despite their bro-shitbird history). On sammiches, with some sriracha mixed-in. Yum!
Lately, following advice on LGM, I started substituting avocado for cheese, and boy does that work!
Neither. Mustard only. Unless we’re talking burgers at In-N-Out: then the answer is some variation of Thousand Island Dressing.
I’d take either. I’ve had to make do with Taiwanese mayo for most of the last 20 years. It’s almost as sweet as cake frosting.
They put it on pizza, too.
Actually, I prefer WD-40.

Miracle Whip – should only be used on poison oak rashes to relieve itching. Otherwise use Mayo.
. . . only if you have no Miracle Whip available (and why would you . . . have MW, I mean)?
Mayo, if homemade or Kewpie.
Sriracha aioli, please.
