we should do a duke’s vs hellmann’s poll

I mean the write-ins for kewpie would probably win but whatever, food nerds

I've realized quite recently that I prefer hellman's to kewpie. have them both in the fridge at the moment and basically never draw for the kewpie. they don't sell duke's here afaict

I like mayonnaise fine, but cannot deal with kewpie, it just tastes so sweet and chemical and inorganic
― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 17 September 2020 16:49 (four years ago) link
kewpie ingredients: veggie oil, egg yolk, vinegar, salt, msg, spice, natural flavorhellman's ingredients: soybean oil, water, whole eggs and egg yolks, vinegar, salt, sugar, lemon juice, calcium disodium edta, natural flavors.

why does kewpie taste so sweet then?
― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 17 September 2020 17:01 (four years ago) link
I also perceive kewpie as being sweet, and was surprised to find there is no sugar in it.
hellman's is definitely tangier, I suppose it has both vinegar and lemon juice
― rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 17 September 2020 17:03 (four years ago) link
apple cider or rice vinegar probably
― brimstead, Thursday, 17 September 2020 17:13 (four years ago) link
(in kewpie)
I have never heard of duke’s or kewpie mayonnaise
don't think apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar (if it's not seasoned rice vinegar) are that sweet. "natural flavors" seems like it covers a lot of territory in terms of sweetness
I like seasoned rice vinegar for sprinkling over sushi rice while it steams the moment after it is cooked, otherwise don't use it

Good fries dipped in good mayo are good. The French are 100% otm on this.

I like Hellman's, but prefer Duke's why because it's more mayonnaisey

I tolerate Kewpie now, especially on Okonomiyaki and hard-boiled eggs.

I do feel like hating mayo is the new bacon/pizza/whatever
I mean I hardly ever eat mayo but it's... fine?
British people: is there something working-class about salad cream or am I crazy?
maybe? I know mayonnaise seemed kind of fancy when I was a kid, maybe because of the French name. and we did used to use salad cream instead.

Kewpie is 100% racist, and I resisted buying it for that reason. But then again I am a Quaker and I eat the dumbass oats for breakfast every day, so I’ve got no leg to stand on.

Thinking a lot about becoming one of those guys who keeps a lil' squeeze bottle of homemade mayo in the fridge.

Update: Kewpie not racist, and not a Japanefied version of the golliwog stereotype. My wife is horrified/delighted I believed her.

To be clear: she didn’t spell any of that out. I took a tiny piece of information and mentally ran with it.

reading this gushing article about kewpie (ugh, gushing mayonnaise)https://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/what-is-kewpie-mayo-japanese-mayonnaise* the vinegar in China was much sweeter and less acidic, so it makes sense that Japan would have similar vinegar and use it in mayo* American kewpie is MSG-free, so should be deposited in the rubbish with every other food product which has had its MSG removed. Not sure if I have tried American or Japanese kewpie.
― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 18 September 2020 19:06 (four years ago) link
yeah I can get both American made kewpie - at the regular supermarket - and Japanese kewpie at asian grocers and the latter is definitely superior.
I've yet to try polish mayo, is it good?
― rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Friday, 18 September 2020 19:30 (four years ago) link
the kewpie ingredient list I posted upthread (which listed MSG) was from me reading the label on the bottle I got from Amazon US

Winiary Majonez is THE ONE if you’re after Polish mayo, which is good because it is seasoned with Polish mustard.
