And I'm a bit of a mayonnaise snob, too. I only eat Hellman's brand (Best Foods brand to you people west of the rockies - why it has to be different I will never understand). And pretty please, with sugar on top - NEVER EVER call Miracle Whip mayonnaise. You may refer to it as "Abomination."
So for the first few months of doing the Weight Watchers plan this time around I just figured (like all other times) that my love affair with mayonnaise was over and I'd never be eating it again. After all, regular full-fat mayonnaise is THREE PointsPlus PER TABLESPOON. That's a lot for just a tablespoon of anything, even mayonnaise. At first I lived with it. I 'd use the full fat mayonnaise on my sandiwiches and just cut calories/points elsewhere.
And then the skies opened up and the heavens sang to me. "Try the light version," I heard. I fought with the voice in my head. "But it'll taste like ass," I said to the heavenly voice. "Just try it."
So I tried it. And guess what. IT FREAKING ROCKS. At the risk of sounding like a Diet Dr. Pepper commercial, it really does taste much more like the original version than I thought it would. And for only ONE points plus per tablespoon, it works with anything.
I VERYHIGHLYEXTREMLEYMUCH recommend giving it a try if you're a mayonnaise person like me.
I have to agree, Miracle Whip is disgusting!! Best food's is da bomb!
ReplyDeleteHellman's Light does rock! But I will also admit I eat Miracle Whip Light too. It just depends on what I'm using it for or what sandwich it goes on. I hate to hear MW referred to as mayo. It's so not. Hellman's on a good turkey, tommy, onion ... yummm!
ReplyDeleteI've been using Hellman's light for years. I love it and wouldn't trade it for anything!
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of things I enjoy that are reduced fat and Hellman's light is one. Mostly, the no fat versions of anything are not worth the effort. I'd rather have a dry salad than no fat ranch dressing that tastes like glue. Sure I tasted glue when I was a kid. :)
ReplyDeleteMayonnaise sandwiches! Yummy!! It's like I could have written that first two paragraphs of your post! Even when I'd go out and buy a sandwich, I would ask what mayo they used; if it wasn't Hellmann's, I'd get the sandwich dry. I was just as surprised to find that the Hellmann's Light tastes soooo good and so much like the regular. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it-we use the Kraft Mayo with Olive Oil. When it's time to replace I will definitely try the Hellman's.
ReplyDeleteI am doing low-carb so I eat full strength mayonnaise. I will try Hellman's. I am not too picky at present - often buy the store brand.
ReplyDeleteI like both (it's that strange). Glad you found a product that makes your WW life easier :)
ReplyDeleteFat free mayonnaise is repulsive, so I'm glad to hear this. I'll give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI hate mayo, but I still left an award for you .. check http://42magicnumber.blogspot.com/

ReplyDeleteI agree that mayo is one of the best ever inventions....and I mean EVER! Sadly I don't get to have it muh eaither anymore......I can also say that bak in the day I would definately enjoy mayo sandwiches!
I followed a link to your blog from birchgirl (42 is a magic number.) I have to stick up for Miracle Whip, it is the best ;) Then again, I am not a mayo fan so that could explain my lack in taste. LOL! I look forward to reading your blog.
