Which Mayo Do Southerners Prefer?

Liz, Ryan, and Adam tackled a blind taste test of several popular mayo brands, including Duke's. Blue Plate, Kraft, Hellmann's, and Miracle Whip.

I don't really understand what I'm doing with my life, it's the weekend and I'm watching people eat mayonnaise online.

I completely lost it at Liz's reaction to Adam putting Miracle Whip first.
Liz: YOU DID WHAT?!
🤣🤣🤣

I freaked out when helman's guy and the Duke's girl made such a big deal about their favorite mayo, and then chose the other one over their favorite.

8:25 "You did WHAT???".... That was hilarious 🤣😆

She was rationalizing Duke’s coming in third like a helicopter mom consoling her darling for not becoming Mayonnaise Queen.

This was hysterical! I grew up in a Hellmann's family - Miracle Whip NEVER crossed the threshold. My parents are Texans and my daddy on occasion would eat a dollop of mayo by itself...or as a dip using a jalapeno pepper to scoop it up.

It always cracks me up because I've been a Blue Plate fan for ages and every mayo ranking Blue Plate comes in first and everyone is always so shocked for some reason. I don't understand the Blue Plate hate, it's very reasonably priced and it tastes good.

My mother grew up on a farm in SE Ky. They didn't have electricity, gas, used a wood stove for heat/cooking, carried water from a natural spring. They also used the spring pool to keep perishable foods cold. My mother hated mayo. I bet my grandma made it by whipping it forever like she did cake batter. As a child, I detested miracle whip and refused to eat anything that had it in, or on it. My mother always felt that ppl got poisoned using mayo. I guess they may have if they didn't keep it cold. I love Helmanns for some things and Dukes for others. Sometimes, I just just buy the one that is less expensive. Helmanns usually costs more except if it's on sale. Ty for your vids, I really enjoy them. I'm going to be 73 soon. I still cook in cast iron skillets. I love greens with country ham cooked in, homemade skillet baked cornbread, I can't stand cornmeal that has leavening already added.

I agree blue plate is the best. I've used hellman's and dukes before. Duke is a close 2nd.

"I can't believe I put _ _ as first place. What's wrong with me?" 🤣🤣
I can't spoil the ending for others, that was too good!

Love how the chair they bought still has the sticker on it! 😁

During a trip to the grocery store when the shelves were almost empty I needed mayo and all they had some was weird vegan pseudo-mayo stuff. But then I noticed on the bottom shelf that they had Blue Plate and it was on a buy one get the second for half off deal so I bought a couple of jars. I had never heard of it before but I must admit that it's a solid contender.

Adding Matt to the prayer list. I hope he’s ok.

Blue Plate is what I grew up with and it has always been my favorite. I knew it was going to be first. (for the ones who's taste buds were working, lol) I will use Dukes if I cannot find Blue Plate. For the short time I lived out of the south, I did use Hellman's. However it was called Best Foods on the west coast. It works if you can't live without mayo, like me.

Mayonnaise, made fresh, is _super_ easy to do (~2 minutes) and you can create your own taste profile. Egg yolk, oil, Dijon mustard, seasonings like salt & pepper, some whisking action. Done. Superior to anything in a jar with preservatives.

I grew up and have always used Hellman's. Recently, due to many cooking show presentations, I tried a jar of Dukes. After 70 years eating Hellman's I was repulsed by Dukes. I found it had a strong and offensive lemony taste. I tried to like it but after finishing that one jar I bought more Hellman's. Never heard of Blue Plate but I won't bother trying it.

63 yo Southerner. My parents, bro/sis n I hv always been BLUE PLATE!
Tried em all except Miracle (Gro) Whip n always come back to BP!
Duke’s has only become a fad recently due to online endorsement by cooks n it just seem to feed upon itself.
Now, the Kewpie (Japanese) mayo is doing the same thing. But even it is tastier than Dukes.
One solution: try making ur own fresh!

SO I DID THE MATH: Using a ranking where 1st place got 4 points and last got 0 points, I added it up. Out of a max of 12 possible points, here is how it broke down:

Blue Plate got a score of 10 out of 12 for 1st Place.
Hellmann's got a score of 8 out of 12 for 2nd Place.
Duke's got a score of 6 out of 12 for 3rd Place.
Miracle Whip got a score of 4 out of 12 for 4th place. (Blame Adam.)
Kraft got a score of 2 out of 12 for LAST PLACE.

If Adam had flipped Kraft with MC, MC would have had no points and Kraft would tie with Duke's.

The sticker still on the folding chair is the most southern thing in this video 😂

I was born & raised a southerner, but lived in Michigan 25 years now. I had never heard Blue Plate. After this, I ordered a jar from Amazon & it's now our favorite! Thanks!
