If you don't know the difference between mayo and Miracle Whip, then you shouldn't even be participating in this discussion.

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

[Miracle Whip] has supplanted mayonnaise

if you dont know the difference ...

Clearly they know the difference. They just said one was better

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

half of the us doesnt even know it.

He literally said this, and I was responding to it. And you tell me he didn't say it. It's right there. Read it.

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 0 points 3 days ago

Doesnt even know it is in reference to their opinion that miracle whip is superior, not that people dont know the difference.

Hysterical that you call me out for not reading it when your reading comprehension missed the whole point.

It is to mayonnaise like margarine is to butter. An inferior imposter.

It's a mayo substitute that delis use for tuna and chicken salad. It is actually labelled "salad dressing" because of this use.

Mayo has a notoriously short life out of refrigeration before it becomes literally deadly. People die at summer picnics and family reunions every year from food-poisoning from spoiled potato salad and such. So delis use it because they can make up a giant batch in the morning, and keep it on display in the deli case under moderate refrigeration all day, without it going bad, and murdering their customers, which is so bad for business.

Unfortunately, it also has an unpleasant metallic taste that some people can ignore. I can't, any more than I can ignore the taste of Diet Coke.

Care to provide any obits or articles about deadly mayo picnics? Cause that's blatantly a lie or, more generously, an amazingly out of touch view on whipped oil.

I'm an old guy, and I've seen many examples in the news over the years. I remember a big one from the 80s or 90s when about 9 people from a single family died when the egg salad went bad at a family reunion.

I read that modern commercial mayo isn't what cause the food-poisoning because it tend to contain vinegar and such, but whenever there is an outbreak from a picnic, it's ALWAYS the food with the mayo.

I've read numerous similar stories over the years, did a basic Google search, and got this AI blurb:

Examples of Mayo-Related Food Poisoning Incidents

  • Raw Egg Mayo Ban (India): Telangana banned raw egg mayonnaise after over 20 people were hospitalized and one death was reported, linking the cases to contaminated mayo.
  • Salmonella in Restaurant Mayo (Saudi Arabia): A restaurant chain’s homemade mayonnaise was linked to an outbreak, with laboratory analysis finding Clostridium botulinum (causing botulism).
  • Restaurant Salad Outbreak: A 2000s-era case saw roughly 94 people develop Salmonellosis after consuming salads containing homemade mayonnaise that was left at room temperature for over 3 hours during assembly.
  • Club Sandwich Outbreak: An outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium was traced back to egg mayonnaise sandwiches served at a club canteen.
  • Picnic/Buffet Risks: Potato salad, tuna salad, and egg salad left in the sun, where the low acidity of the potatoes or other ingredients allows bacteria to grow rapidly.

Heat alone does not cause those diseases. The way that you had stated it earlier made it seem like mayonnaise is a heat sensitive bomb. It seems more like you don't like mayo than mayo actually being bad.

Oh no, I LOVE mayo. I also respect mayo.

At your next office picnic, you go right ahead and take a big scoop of sun-warmed potato salad at about 4 pm, but don't say I didn't warn you.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I actually do warm up potato salad and add some vinegar hot sauce. It makes it divine.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago

It ain't the warmth alone, it's warmth + time.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So, it is to Mayo what AI is to humans.

[–] wuffah@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Enjoy the tangy zip of Miracle Whip!

…OR DIE!

[–] TheRagingGeek@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

It’s also more sweetened whereas mayo is more fat. I grew up on miracle whip but my adult palate would prefer mayo

[–] oyo@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fake whipped cream mixed with fake mayonnaise. It's absolutely vile.

Don't be fooled by them! It's delicious! It's mayo but a bit more of a "spicy" flavor and some sugar. (Not like a hot pepper spice, just a mild spice? idk it's hard to describe) great for sandwiches, horrible substitute for pretty much anything else that uses real mayo.

Whipped cream is probably the worst way to describe it, that's like describing blue cheese as ice cream. Very different things.
