Far too sweet to use wherever mayo is used. I guess it has a place if you are trying your hand at 1950's cooking and making the abominations that were served during that era.
I hate it because it's sweet and mayonnaise really ought not be sweet. There is nothing I am using mayo in where I want to introduce sweetness. But maybe you are using it in something I am not.
Do you like sweet pickles too? Now I am picturing the worst tuna salad possible, with miracle whip and sweet pickle relish. Ack.
It’s a UK thing, kinda like mayo but instead of oil-based it’s vinegar-based and with some mustard in it. Used in effectively the same way. I’ve only had it a few times but it reminded me more of Miracle Whip.
I respectfully disagree with your opinion that McDonald's is consistent. Sometimes their Big Mac is delicious and other times I've had them be just meh. Same goes for their fries. I've occasionally got some fries that just aren't salty enough.
I can without clouded judgement agree with your assessment
Where we are failing to see eye to eye is... Think of your favorite most consistent burger.
How many locations do they have?
How consistent is it?
How does that compare to mcds numbers.
It may seem trivial given my agreeing with you, but it's not.
I say this as a level II cicerone (beer sommelier). Beer snobs shit on Budweiser. Real beer snobs don't. And we don't say it's some amazing flavor either. It's consistency.
I digress. I agree, but I think you'd agree with me as well if we agreed on terms rather than split hairs.
Which speaks more to the general quality of food in Japan rather than the quality of Japanese McDonald's. You can get better food at basically any other restaurant in the country.
But still, it tastes like actual food, unlike American, Australian, and Italian McDonald's.
Basically all American fast food places in other countries are infinitely better than the US. Because they almost always have to deal with more stringent advertising and quality requirements and actually have to compete with real restaurants.
Hell the only real advantage in the US used to be price, but they're now the same price as a full restaurant option, and take about as long. The only reasons they still have customers are nostalgia/habit and people just assuming that because McD's prices went up so much during the pandemic-era inflation, everywhere else must have as well.
I remember my local bar had a burger and fries basket. $6. This was prepandemic. We always joked that it was cheaper to get a burger/fries and a coke from the bar than it was from McDonald's (for a quarter pounder).
Really depends on the use case. Mayonnaise had many more culinary uses than just sandwiches, so it's my go to. But it's really hit or miss depending on how it was kept/who manufactured it. Miracle whip is at least consistent.
Miracle whip and mayonnaise aren't condiments, they're fillers. I understand this is a distinction I'm probably the only one why makes. But I'll die on that hill.

A commercial fake mayonnaise that you can't do on your own, and that contains corn sugar, flavors, and a lot of other crap? Unpopular opinion indeed.

To be fair, no one in their sane mind thinks this.
McDonald's doesn't sell quality they sell consistency.
The fact that you can get a cheeseburger from McDonald's basically anywhere in earth and have the expected experience is nothing short of astonishing.
Same goes for Budweiser, hostess, etc.

MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 242d
Good mayo already has a ton of vinegar, stuff like Duke's or specialty mayos. What makes miracle whip different is the disgusting sugar.
