Students of "Mayonnaise Sauce" as the French call it (which they made famous with a recipe nicked from Spain), learn Miracle Whip was marketed as a cheap alternative to mayonnaise during the Depression. Its not bad on a white bread sandwich with leftover Thanksgiving turkey—as an alternative to Duke's. Otherwise, nope.
Duke's is a Southern tradition, but available outside the region now or online at exorbitant prices. On sale @ Ingles this week for $2.98!
If you vote for me in November, I will motion to make April 20th a federal holiday. Sensamilla Day, as it will be known will celebrate growth, nurturing and a bountiful harvest.
