Maybe you peeps across the pond can help with this one.

What in Gods name is "Miracle Whip"? Me and a friend are trying out some Big Mac sauce recipes off the 'net and every one of them mentions this mythical foodstuff.

I even went to an ASDA (which is owned by WALMART) and asked for it. The bloke I asked just stood there in the asile trying to figure out what the hell I was going on about.

"Moricle Whop?"
"No mate, Miracle Whip."
"Moricle Whop?"

And so on.

It's gross. I can't stand the stuff. Give me good old heart-clogging mayo anyday. Miracle Whip is like a flavored sandwich spread. Some people like it but for the life of me I can't figure out why.

Peace

Miracle Whip is kind of like mayonnaise. If you can't get it, I'm sure you can substitute mayonnaise for it in virtually any recipe.

No wonder we revolted from that damn country. You people manage to keep "vegemite", but have no Miracle Whip? Miracle Whip is the black mans mayonaise. Not being racist, but ask any. They'll tell ya. Its mayonaise with flavor.

Maybe so...But then again, the US is the only country in the world to fool the world into believing Budweiser is a lager with alcholic content!!!

Heres a hint: Noone here drinks Bud either...cept them Earnhart NASCAR fans. Bud blows...

Miracle whip rocks.
One thing I did love about England...walking past the pubs at 7 in the morning and seeing people drinkin away. Gotta love that.

One thing I hated.... tea!! its true! noone has coffee in their house. Or if they do, its sanka or some crap like that.

You guys need to fix that miracle whip prob though. Your being denied a fine sandwich condiment...

How can you not love the tangy zip of miracle whip?

Mayo is probably my least favorite condiment I do have a jar of miracle whip in my fridge but I hardly use it compared to things like Ketchup or hot sauce

Its funny how on the miracle whip jar it says it's salad dressing. Could you imagine putting that on salad? Gross!

I do like it better than mayonaise though.

Nowt wrong with tea, lad

Well, I think I might buy a jar from one of those websites which do such things...

It better be good for £10!

Why in God's name would you want to make Big Mac sauce recipes.

I almost puke just drivin by McD. I would rather eat an armadillo or a lizard than than a big Mac.

The only thing that Miracle whip does well is clog up your arteries at the same time you're eating it. It's good on Freedom fries, or chips as they are known in your neck of the woods.

This stuff is great. Its just a little heavier on the vinegar, thats all. To me, regular mayonaise tastes like lard.

Try it, you'll like it!!!!!

£10!?!

That's like $20 American isn't it? Or for me, like $26 Canadian. I would never spend that kind of money on a jar of Miracle whip. Localy a big jar is like $4.

FactoryLad, I don't know where in the UK you are but I was just reading on another forum (found via google) that one person found Miracle Whip at a Morrison’s supermarket for less than £2.00. The people on the forum said they found MW at Teesside, Edinburgh, and Birmingham.
I hope that will save you from paying £10

If you can't get Miracle Whip.
Use Mayo, and add some sugar, and vinegar...and a touch of mustard..
Technically MW is a Salad dressing..

FactoryLad, the Big Mac's special sauce is Thousand Island dressing. It's easy to make, just google it.

I'm not sure, but it's like....
Miracle Whip, ketchup, dill relish, worchestire sauce.... can't remember.

Good luck, and Good Eats!

Miracle whip has a considerable amount less fat than regular mayo, and you can get it in light and fat free varieties.

Thanks lads and ladetts,

Umbrax, ten quid...yeah that's round about $19-$18, thanks for the sightings of the mysterious moricle whop as it's known here in the UK by shop assistants everywhere. I actually live in Birmingham, so thats a bit of a bonus!

anxietydisorder, thanks for the link...Always good to have a continuity plan!

whaaa...How can you deny the beauty of what is known as BigMac (tm) sauce? Ever eaten a burger over here? Their crap. Therefore, it is our quest to create our own BigMac (tm) sauce to liven up the crud between the buns we usually get served.

Oh and the fact that it's really nice too

Factory sounds like mission impossible to me. Hell the flavor of a bigmac varies even in the US. Different vendors of the condiments in the UK has to be a big problem and I know just making the buns the same has to be difficult simply because of the flour alone. Rots of ruck kid you are going to need it. When all fails get a Yank to freeze one and ship it to you fedex then nuke it upon arrival.
