Never had Dukes.I’m sticking with Hellmanns. It’s my favorite out of all the ones I’ve tried.

Duke's is the best, I've been using it the last few years and would never go back to the old standards. Although, I do like Miracle whip for sandwiches.

No. It's not that much better. I'd heard about how wonderful it was for years so decided a few years ago to try a jar. It's good mayo, but tastes no better, as far as I'm concerned, than Hellman's or a few others... I know they make a big deal of it as the 'only' mayo for those of us in the south. It isn't...

It has no sugar and for that reason alone I prefer it.

I also like the taste.

I've used Hellmans for years because I buy it i bulk at Costco. I was at Giant a week or so ago and there was Duke's on Special as they are now carrying it and was showcasing it and other "Southern" products. I'd read about it but had never tried it and was going to buy Hellmans as I'm now out so....I bought Duke's.

What I and my family found out:

*It's much creamier than Hellmans; almost TOO creamy.

*It's sweeter/lemony in taste than Hellmans

*I need to use almost half of the amount than I normally would with Hellmans. The first time I made egg salad, it was egg soup. I had to boil another 5 eggs (had 8 already in the salad) and add them in to make it egg salad as I know it. SInce then, I've used half the amount when making any type of salad.

*It's more expensive than Hellmans (same size jar).

Not impressed, to be honest. When we use it up, I'll go back to Hellmans and that will be that.

We usually only have Best Foods (Hellmans) out here in the west, but I saw some at Walmart and decided to give it a try. It was good but I didn't like it as well as Best Foods and probably won't buy it again. Heinz just came out with their mayo and I bought a bottle yesterday just because i had a coupon for it. Haven't tried it yet tho.

@SahmIamSo you're saying it's creamy and economical.

As a long time Hellman’s user, when I first moved to the south I tried Duke’s after hearing the hype. It’s almost as good as Hellman’s but soupier. Sometimes you can’t avoid it living where I do, because it’s popular. As long as people don’t use the dreaded Miracle Whip, I’m OK.

I tried Heinz mayo and thought it was very good...

I prefer Hellmann's, the only one I can eat. It's just personal preference. I have friends that love Duke's.

Sort of sounded to me like she was saying she wasn't impressed and plans to go back to Hellman's... and that she might use more Hellman's but it costs less... and that she found Duke's too creamy, sweet and lemony... Honestly, I think it's all right that we don't all prefer the same mayo...

Mayo, not a food I ever eat.

Re: Duke's Real Mayonnaise

My whole entire life I have never had any brand other than Hellmann's.

Re: Duke's Real Mayonnaise

phoenixbrd — Sat, 07 Jul 2018 09:42:51 GMT

I'm with @hckynut, mayo is not part of my vocabulary. If it is required for a rare occasion, I use Veganaise (no eggs in it).

I love it. A friend who is a great cook recommended it. I figured mayonaise all tastes the same. However Dukes is so much better. Mayonaise always seemed greasy to me. Dukes is light and fluffy and non greasy. My husband never liked mayonaisse until I bought dukes.

I buy Hellmann"s, Duke and Blue Plate--whichever happens to be on sale when I need it.

I don't see a whole lot of difference among them when mixing in something else, such as chicken salad, tuna salad, deviled eggs, etc.

One does taste more of lemon than vinegar, but can't recall which one.

I have noticed that all three include eggs, but Blue Plate empasizes (in bold type on ingredient list) that it uses EGG YOLKS.

Perhaps that means Blue Plate mayo is OK for folks allergic to egg whites?? My sister has this allergy.
