Do these look similar to the kind you get? I've moved on from the pepper discussion too, but I'm checking out food ads late at night and noticed them in the ad. Like that you gave me ideas on using them. Sounds like you make some yummy meals. I got to get to bed. 'Night now.

Yeah, they do. The shape looks right.

I had no idea of the firestorm I was set to ignite the day I purchased this jar of clandestine salad dressing.

Please accept my apologies. I will always be deeply sorry for inspiring a vomit emoji with this evidently despised condiment. (I just don't mind it, but... you know, never mind. Enough said. I won't even mention its name.)

My mom used to use Miracle Whip. It is still quite popular here. I always use Hellmann’s.

I’ve always thought of mayo, regardless of brand, grease in a jar. So yeah, the would be my response too. I’m kinda that way with anything greasy. I can’t stomach greasy fried foods. It stems from food poisoning after eating tuna salad at 14 y/o.

I’ve learned to buy coleslaw dressing in the produce section. I think it’s called Marie’s, a short squatty shaped jar. When my mother in law made coleslaw decades ago, she substituted sour cream so that I would eat it.

Sort of off topic, but regarding Miracle Whip and mayonnaise. I once dated a guy who insisted that Blue Bonnet was real butter and Miracle Whip was a brand of mayonnaise. Then we broke up

"Bring out the Hellman's and bring out the best!"

Haha, I grew up with Best Foods mayo, and their jingle was the same
(same company, different name west of the Rockies):

“Bring out the Best Foods, and bring out the best!”

I’ve been hearing people talk about Kewpie mayo. It’s popular on some of the cooking sites I visit.

I haven’t tried it yet but it is supposed to be creamier and richer. It uses egg yolks instead of whole eggs.

I plan to try it sometime out of curiosity. But I don’t want to buy the large container at Costco in case I don’t like it.

Have you tried Duke's mayo? It's good, but we prefer Hellman's. Duke's Mayo | It's Got Twang!

I have not. I do like to try different products so I’ll have to try Duke too.

My daughter hates mayonnaise for the same reason. She cooks with it in some recipes but wouldn’t consider using it on sandwiches.

While we're on the subject of condiments, I must confess that I absolutely hate ketchup It is sickeningly sweet and the only way that I will eat it is in my homemade cocktail sauce.

We went for manis and pedis earlier and are now watching women's hockey final and women's free skate in figure skating. We are celebrating 33 years in our current home and are having dinner at Picano's. I love the Pasta Fagioli soup that is always featured on Thursday.

We are hiving some really bizarre weather here in southeastern lower Michigan. It has been very foggy for three days in a row, and today there has been thunder and heavy downpours. Really strange to have thunderstorms in February.
