Miracle Whip v Mayo

[Skibum]

Re: frites

ooo oooo i forgot .. in canada we eat french fries with white vinegar .. and when i go to the states, they think i'm crazy if i ask for it .. so i don't ask for it anymore when i go there lol

I don't know about the rest of the States, but I LOVE venegar on my fries. The best fast food around is Al's French Fries in Burlington, and they always provide vinegar.

As to the original question, a sndwich isn't a sandwich without plain mayo!

oh yes that is true William bout Arthur's fish and chips and vinegar .. but you know what ..

i'll bet the Brits would laugh at that as being low grade vinegar .. now they eat malt vinegar on their fish and chips right? .. like Arthur's .. but only stronger .. and they have fish and chips wrapped up in a newspaper .. now that's real brit style ... not like that Arthur dude, eh?

and Arthur's had hush puppies .. now that is an American food, right? i never heard of hush puppies except at Arthur's .. is it like southern food ..?? it's good though!

 

[Handy-Andy]

Hellman's mayo is top's, nowt can touch it.

I have always heard Hush Puppies referred to as "Dock Sweepins". I believe they are a bizarre combination of fish flour and batter. As near as I can tell, inedible even with the strongest condiments.

The bottles with Arthur and his tam-o-shanter used to say malt vinegar but then again we sell cans of something in the US labeled beer that people from overseas feel is awfully lame. Got to dumb everything down for us Yanks!

 

[Handy-Andy]

Hush puppies are shoes over here in england so matter how much vinegar you put on them they would still be leathery.

 

[April]

LOL at Isabella! Maybe I should do it more often around here? Whip these people into shape!

 

[Skibum]

I used to get Hush Puppies at Captain D's, a seafood chain in the South. I believe they are a southern invention. Pretty good, though.

Hush Puppies are deep fried Cornbread balls. Kind of like a corn-dog without the weiner or stick. I've seen them in several different seafood restaurant chains.

There is also a restaurant chain here in the west named Hush Puppies. I don't know if hush puppies are on their menu or not as I seldom eat at sit-down restaurants.

"Whip these people into shape!" That would take a "Miracle".

And yes I've hugged my kitty today, all three of them!

Please pass the booze, Dixon.

 

[*Eve*]

They taste the same to me.

*shaking her head in disbelief*

I can't believe you people don't know what hushpuppies are.

lemme see if I can explain a little. They are made with cornmeal, buttermilk and sometimes onions (grated). Some people add sugar to the batter...others don't. (I prefer the sugary kind). Drops of this are thrown into a deep fryer until the outside is crispy and the inside is barely done. They are usually about half the size of a golfball and wonderful with seafood and Barbecue (another Southern thing).

On a related note...any other foods that are "regional"?
A few that we have that others have never heard of...

Snowcream
REAL Barbecue

I'm sure I can think of more later.....

 

[Jade]

Good question about the regional food thing.
I am in Texas... and before moving here I had never tasted or heard of:

Grits, Chitlins (spelling)?, or fried okra, or tex mex.

 

[SimplySouthern]

Yeah...grits. We have that. Anyone heard of Livermush? YUMMY

 

[Bushido71XS]

How about Blood Pudding? Haggis?

 

[Handy-Andy]

black pudding and tripe lovely yummy. Hush puppies are shoes here not food.

 

[Nicole]

I'm with Andy there ... Hush puppies are shoes here too.

Now what did he say earlier ... No matter how much Vinegar you put on them, they would still be leathery. LMAO Oh that was a good one Andy me lad. (Sorry parents were English you know, So I tend to know the lingo).

I'm sorry everyone but I couldn't see myself eating Hush Puppies ... I would constantly be thinking of peoples feet.

Ewwwwwwwwwwww Yuk.

 

[Handy-Andy]

Thanks nicole .
big hug @ nicole.

 

[Nicole]

Hey No Probs there Andy.

Just can't see myself eating shoes you know.

If there is anything nastier than mayo or Miracle Whip, I can't imagine it. Raw eggs, all creamy - yuck! puke city! I'm with Jade - mustard's where it's at.

Madam hates creamy things. Hmmmmm. WHAT? I was only thinking that tartar sauce contains mayo. *blink* *blink*

 

[Flagg]

Enough with all this junk food!

Sauce Bearnaise is where its at!

 

[Laurel]

Madam hates creamy things. Hmmmmm. WHAT? I was only thinking that tartar sauce contains mayo. *blink* *blink*

I usually have to wipe off most of the tartar sauce with a napkin when I get a fish sandwich. I like a hint of it, not a huge blob stuck under the lettuce.

Bearnaise (sp?) sauce still has that funky consistency issue. But it doesn't have that awful mayo taste.

Acceptable condiments include:
pickle relish (sweet or salty)
ketchup
mustard
salsa
hot sauce
soy sauce
peanut sauce
cheese sauces
thousand island dressing

Questionable condiments include:
mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
tartar sauce
anything with that mucousy, mayonnaisey texture

 

[Flagg]

Isn't thousand island dressing just mayonnaise and ketchup? Surely it is a similar consistency to straight mayo?

*WTF are we doing debating about condiments!? I mean really! LOL!*

 

[Bonnie Wee Lassie]

I would have to say MW is way better over mayo. The name says it all.

 

[canadian_lady]

No way Lassie, your wacked...Mayo is the best. Do a taste test and see for yourself.
