Mayonnaise and Aioli.
 

Mayonnaise is something that I use frequently and Hellmann's is my choice. This was discussed some time ago and I told CFrance I would try her brand, but my dear husband forgets we aren't OUT of mayonnaise and now because of BoGo's at Publix, we have four big fat jars in the pantry.

I would be interested to see if I like anything better than Hellmanns. And I will try others, one of these days. I use mayonnaise in potato salad, hot chicken salad, bake fish with it and garlic, and for lots of other things.

One of my most pleasant culinary memories of a visit to France some years ago was their garlic mayonnaise (Aioli) on green beans. It was wowser good. With a kick too.

Do you have a favorite mayonnaise or an interesting way to use it? Please tell us.

Here is a simple dish I make when I have a couple of apples that are being ignored. I peel and dice them, add grated cheddar cheese, few grapes if I have them, mayonnaise and some dried cranberries for a simple but tasty side dish.

Dukes, it’s a southern staple

I have tried Duke's. Blue Plate, Hellmanns, and probably others. Never noticed any that stood out above the others. So for me they are all about the same. I buy which ever brand is on sale.

For me it's a little bit like eggs. Brown, white, free range, organic, they all seem about the same.

Dukes! Grandmas wouldn't use anything else. The tradition continues!

I tried Duke's when I moved south.....can't take the northern our of me....it's Hellman's for us.
