You realize, of course, that the dish turned out totally different because you used Duke's mayo in a Hellman's recipe, right?Originally Posted by nswef
Seriously, if I could find Duke's up here, I'd love to try it. People talk about it like it's legendary. On the other hand, I'm enough of a mayonnaise Philistine to be fine with Aldi's Hellman's knockoff. Maybe Duke's would change that.
I have a niece down in Missouri who wants to visit us. I may ask her to bring a few jars up with her.

Missouri representing here. Sorry never heard of Duke’s!
Hmm. Niece lives near Kansas City, MO. <looks at Duke's where-to-find map> Ah, figured it out. Apparently I can buy it here in the Twin Cities if I'm willing to walk into a Walmart. But niece can buy it at her local Hy-Vee, Price Chopper, or Walmart (won't be Walmart for her either). Looks like around St. Louis you'd go to Schnuck's. But it doesn't sound like Duke's is on your grocery list.

I kept seeing rave reviews of Duke's. Ordered some from Fresh. It's not at all bad, but I still prefer Best Foods (Hellman's)
Well, DH's nickname is Dukes, but I still can't see using anything but Hellman's. I don't believe Duke's has made it to the Mid-Atlantic/New England area.

I chuckle at the preference for one make of mayo. I have just discovered that ketchup/catsup can taste positively awful if it is not Heinz. I bought a chain brand and it is so bad that I will discard it. I even tried using it as a flavouring in a tomato sauce to use it up and scrapped the sauce instead.

Interrupting this mayo discussion to say we are having deconstructed cabbage rolls tonight.
My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!
I'm having lamb chops, you can now proceed to food envy (well if your not vegetarian) and I don't know salad or veggies or something TBD. I don't have lamb chops often either, and they weren't cheap. Last night I made red clam chowder.
Mayo is mostly gross, I don't keep it on hand. But once in a while I crave it, so I go somewhere I can get a tuna melt and potato salad or coleslaw with a bunch of mayo, and craving is taken care of.

Defrosting honey squash and some wieners to enjoy with a fresh salad and an orange.

My dinner tonight was an impromptu tuna salad (with Hellman's mayo, onion, some dried celery flakes, and celery salt) served on cucumber rounds. DW's dinner was the original plan; a hot dish of chicken breasts in a creamy southwestern sauce into which she inadvertently dumped a can of refried beans, pushing it way past my allowed carbohydrate intake.
