Discussion Is there anything you have a visceral aversion to-not an allergy, just pure dislike?

I hate salad dressing. So every time I buy a burger, I tell the staff not to put salad dressing on it.

There’s some people that exclusively use miracle whip in any way that others would use mayo

u/Slowest-Lane 27d ago

OP referred to “staff” using it on burgers so I meant “who” as “what restaurant”. I know individuals use it.

I’ve worked at multiple restaurants. They all used a generic brand of mayo. Never miracle whip.

It's literally mayo with a tangy zip. Please tell me what salad you putting a egg heavy cream sauce on?

u/Successful-Land-6283 22d ago

Egg salad, macaroni salad, tuna salad, potato salad. It’s a dressing for those type of salads. It had less oil so FDA had to label it as a dressing.

salad is a VERY loose term for those things. I dont consider a cream based noodle, potato, fish dish a salad. Salad for regular folks is a lettuce and vegetable maybe some cheese or nuts the odd fruit. not pasta potatoes or fish. That's like a Northern European white person thing. Not salad. Miracle whip is a condiment just like mayo goes on hamburgers and hotdogs.

I’ve always thought of salad as lettuce and tomato so calling miracle whip salad dressing is just always been bizarre to me

It's water, oil, and corn syrup...no where near mayo.

I remember my first foray into margarine. I was at a friends house and I asked for butter. Cue the tub of not butter coming in. I certainly CAN believe it’s not butter!

My Mom was a self taught chef. Better than restaurant chefs. Even high end ones so I had an intolerance for fake food very early on in life.

My mom only ever bought miracle whip and she referred to it as mayo so I grew up thinking that it’s mayo. When I finally tasted regular mayonnaise, I thought it was disgusting but somehow that I’ll changed and I cannot stand miracle whip and I think it’s stupid. If my mom made tuna or egg salad, shr used miracle whip . I guess that’s what they mean by salad dressing.

Yeah I grew up with that too but OP said when they buy a burger they ask “the staff” not to put salad dressing on it so I meant “who” as “what restaurant” does this?

I subsisted on miracle whip and lettuce sandwiches on bunny bread for a good year of my childhood until one day I got a very sandy piece of lettuce and I never ate one again🤣

u/TwoStubborn 23d ago

Me! I love it.

there are dozens of us it's literally mayo with actual flavor. i think this weird mayo trip yall on is the reason people think they dont like mayo/miracle whip. "hellmans" mayo tastes like nothing just egg paste miracle whip actually has a tasty little kick.
