We've decided on brautwerst and sauerkraut, garlic mashed potatoes, salad and some other finger foods. Yummy!!!

Does anyone have any recipes for a shrimp sauce besides the usual cocktail sauce?

oh grooch, do I ever. It is so simple but if you travel in England and Ireland, you will find on every menu prawn cocktail. I love the sauce and I finally got an Irish cookbook that had the sauce in it. This is for cold shrimp.

5tbs mayonnaise
1 tbs ketchup
1tbs worcestershire sauce
1 tsp finely chopped onion
1 tsp finely chopped celery

yum yum. Serve the cold shrimp on a bed of shredded lettuce and the cocktail sauce on top.

I have had that sauce too Maris, it is wonderful!!
another good one is melt equal parts Wishbone Italian dressing and butter in a saucepan. Add Old Bay season, lots of lemon juice and black pepper.

Calling all cooks!!! Funny question here. What is the difference between mayonnaise and whipped salad dressing (in the jar and it looks like mayo)? What would be the reason to pick salad dressing over mayo? Can it be used for sandwiches too?

mayo is made with eggs. miracle whip isn't.
both are good for sandwiches. i think mayo has a richer taste, miracle whip a sweeter one.

So either can be used when mayo is in the recipe. Thanks, Annie. (Hubby brought home two jars of miracle whip instead of mayo. At least he was grocery shopping!)

Miracle Whip (or other brand salad dressing) is also supposed to be better for your cholesterol. It has a zippier taste than mayo, but is primarily used the same. I love the taste of it and forced my hubby to start eating it instead of mayo almost 30 years ago.

That's great about it being better for your cholesterol. Hubby was just put on cholesterol medicine so apparently the slip up in buying miracle whip was a good one. Thanks!

And I think you will find some people (like me) who love mayo (only Best Foors/Hellmans for me) and can not stand miracle whip. I can smell the difference. I can tell if it was used in cooking, a potato or macaroni salad, or on a sandwich. I hope you like the taste and the smell.

Me too!!! Hellmans only for mayo, I just had this conversation last week with a co-worker. She bought miracle whip because it was cheaper but her husband only eats Hellmans, so she put the miracle whip in an empty Hellman's jar. She made mashed potatoes and puts mayonnaise in it, he told her they didnt tast right, she insisted that she used hellmans. he went to the refrigerator, got the hellmans jar out, tasted it, and told her she lied and he promptly threw out the fake mayonnaise.

Grey Poupon for everything else

Yeah, I"m not fond of Miracle Whip. The taste is much different, so you'll have to be careful using it in recipes - it's sweeter (from added corn syrup which is quite bad for you) and zipper because of vinegar and some spices.

Miracle Whip, Hellman's, its all the same to me, anything but plain mustard. BLECH. (Honey/Dijon is tolerable.) Sweet relish is nice too. But I've digressed. So gonna follow Scooty and zip on outta here. Bon Appetite! :-)

Miracle Whip tastes just plain nasty to me. Can't stand the stuff. Duke's Mayo all the way!

Well, hubby hasn't tried the miracle whip yet. I did make a tuna pasta salad (which hubby doesn't eat - "chick food") last night with it and brought it for lunch and I did't notice any big difference. I agree Hellman's is the best. So I'll just see what he says when he fixes his sandwich.

I ate nothing but Miracle Whip for 40 years and then suddenly, for no reason, I decided to use mayo and now that's all I eat. I don't even want MW anymore.
