30. I prefer Hellmann's (which is supposedly a little different from Best Foods)

Wed Jul 18, 2018, 12:43 PM

the name changes on different sides of the Rockies, but people claim Hellmann's is a little better. We get Best Foods in Washington, but got Hellmann's in Michigan, and I keep meaning to get a little jar of each and do an actual comparison.

Mayonnaise is also really, really easy to make. We always added a little salt, pepper, vinegar, and then a pinch of dry mustard. I've tried making it with olive oil, but you need to be really careful to get the right olive oil; otherwise, the mayo is just bitter.
