Mayo or Miracle Whip
This summer we have come up with more ways than ever to create the perfect sandwich. Chicken breast subs, turkey-bacon-avocado, bacon-lettuce-tomato, and the list goes on... but never forgotten is my beloved Mayonnaise. It adds just the right amount of moisture and subtle flavor without the tangy nastiness of Miracle Whip which seems to overpower the other toppings.

A sandwich isn't a sandwich without Mayonnaise right? Unless of course you ask one of the many Miracle Whip devotees.
My husband was brought up on Miracle Whip but was soon converted to the light side when he spent some time in Peru (apparently Peruvians have been getting it right for centuries). And I've had many a hot debate with my in-laws about the Mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip question, however, they're kind enough to supply me with my own tiny bottle of Mayo in their fridge - which is only touched when I'm over for lunch:)
And then there's the story of my Dad... he swore for years that he only eats Miracle Whip, until my mom broke it to him that she's never bought anything other than Mayonnaise in the 27 years that they've been married. Boy did he feel sheepish!
So, maybe I'm being a little self-indulgent with this month's poll question (which I'm sure you can guess by now)... What is it for you... "Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip?"
