Decided to do the same after house guests left some tuna and a long black hair in my mayo jar.

Disgusting!

Well all, My house guest's are gone. I am so freaking happy I could scream. Pause..... scream at back deck. I have never in my life meet people with so mnay bad habits and nasty manners. I did say make yourselves at home. ( Mental note to self, never go stay at their house). I now have my mayonnaise back, without the add-ins. I am a happy camper. I never did find out who opened the cake iceing and got them a finger full. That's ok, I feed it to them on a cake last night, they seemed to enjoy it.

I have learned my lesson. No more house guest's that we don't know that well. ( this was one of my wife's cousin's) Never again. Not in this lifetime. Now for the state their from, I know I said I would;nt reveal it but I got too. It starts with an O and ends with and O. And I'll never ever go there. Not after this week. Thanks to all who responded. I know now I aint the only one with condiment pet-peev's. We are all so human. And in the end Miracle Whip is still nasty as hell.

[snip] Umm, I have another solution, quit using condiments period. Try enjoying the taste of the food, unless the food you are trying to eat is so disgusting that it needs covering up! In that case shouldn't matter what is in the condiments. Mayo is the most fattening of all and I gave it up years ago, along with butter. Never use bbq sauce on anything I cook either, herbs and spices are all I ever use. I do use cream cheese for cheesecake and occasional bagel but that isn't a condiment. Glad we didn't get a news flash that cousins were stabbed to death with "mayo" knife!

Star for your thread! take care!

Not true, I love both. The truth of the matter is that Miracle whip is best on a sandwich, and Mayo is best on a burger. Mayo is still great on a sandwich though, I just like the tang a little more from miracle whip. Atleast that's my opinion anyway. Course, I have been known to get greedy and use one on each side as well. A little hot russian mustard too.

I will say that I am more of a mayo guy, even though there is usually both of them in the fridge. I am the only one in the house that likes Miracle whip so it tends to last longer than the mayo. Plus, We use a lot of mayo to dip artichokes and asparagus in, as well as inside a few salad dressing recipes of mine. Then their are those that don't like either, and I don't understand those people. ~$heopleNation

I understand your point about ruining the taste of food, but that's why I just use a little mayo most of the time. What ruins it is when it's piled on which also makes the bread mushy. That's why I put butter on it, it keeps that from happening.

But..........What is wrong with BBQ sauce? Most have zero Saturated and Trans fat. Also no cholesteral whatsoever. Most are high in Sodium, so maybe that was your issue. I could never live without BBQ sauce though. ~$heopleNation

OK...here's the deal, though. Fat-free mayo tastes like...well, let's just call it inadequate to the task at hand. Fat-free MW sorta tastes ok if you squint while using it.

i'm making my own mayonnaise: egg yolk and vegetable oil, some salt. if you want an edgier/bold/spicy taste and maybe less sick making, add some mustard and /or lemon juice, black/white pepper
more healthy this way, as i know what it contains.

i dont get easily sick, but your horror story should open some eyes for some people. :/
