It’s a mayo substitute that delis use for tuna and chicken salad. It is actually labelled “salad dressing” because of this use.
Mayo has a notoriously short life out of refrigeration before it becomes literally deadly. People die at summer picnics and family reunions every year from food-poisoning from spoiled potato salad and such. So delis use it because they can make up a giant batch in the morning, and keep it on display in the deli case under moderate refrigeration all day, without it going bad, and murdering their customers, which is so bad for business.
Unfortunately, it also has an unpleasant metallic taste that some people can ignore. I can’t, any more than I can ignore the taste of Diet Coke.

Legit top tier condiment that has supplanted mayonnaise and like half of the us doesnt even know it.

If you don’t know the difference between mayo and Miracle Whip, then you shouldn’t even be participating in this discussion.

Clearly they know the difference. They just said one was better

He literally said this, and I was responding to it. And you tell me he didn’t say it. It’s right there. Read it.

What is this Miracle whip?
FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It is to mayonnaise like margarine is to butter. An inferior imposter.

Fake whipped cream mixed with fake mayonnaise. It’s absolutely vile.

I feel like I’m the only person who enjoys both. I have a bottle of each in my fridge right now

I would very much rather not. That stuff is toxic as hell and I’m glad it’s not in Europe.

I always wondered why some mayo based foods tasted rotten. I figured out much later it was cause they used miracle whip. As Mayo goes, Dukes or gtfo.
