I would do without if all I had was Miracle Whip. I can't even stand the smell let alone the taste and you can't hide the taste.

I cannot stand Miracle Whip, and can spot it's usage from 10 feet away. It has a very different taste than mayo. I'm not even a huge mayo fan, but it does have it's place (as in potato salad or on sandwiches). In my opinion, Miracle Whip is disgusting white stuff! Plugra unsalted butter here. Grey Poupon for sandwiches if I haven't been to any gourmet food places and I'm out of my favs (Garlic Mustard is yummy!), Guldens Brown only when cooking. Kraft Mayo (never Best Foods). I dunno if Hellman's is available in my stores, I'll have to check. (I've heard it's the best.)

Oh heck. Forgot to mention... Stacked enchiladas. I caught an older Alton Brown show on Food Network last week. Originally, back in the very early 20th century, enchiladas were made as layered or stacked. The "Americanized" version of them is rolled and placed in a baking dish.

Oh LOL... then yuck. I think Kraft mayo is way better than Best Foods. It's creamier and richer, to me anyways. I don't use mayo all that often, but the one time I bought Best Foods by accident, I knew it. (And no, it wasn't Miracle Whip!)

Metoo, we've just started using fat-free mayonnaise because of Colossus' triglyceride problem, it is very good - zero fat, zero cholesterol. I generally despise fat-free anything (low-fat sour cream is fine, fat-free sour cream is te heinous), but I've detected no real difference between fat-free and regular mayo. Never been a fan of Miracle Whip, though, I certainly wouldn't substitute it in a recipe that calls for mayo.

Miracle Whip has egg yolks in it. I know this because I had a friend who was allergic to eggs and ate MW thinking it didn't have eggs. Ingredients: WATER, SOYBEAN OIL, VINEGAR, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, SUGAR, MODIFIED FOOD STARCH, EGG YOLKS, SALT, MUSTARD FLOUR, ARTIFICIAL COLOR, POTASSIUM SORBATE AS A PRESERVATIVE, SPICE, PAPRIKA, NATURAL FLAVOR, DRIED GARLIC. http://www.kraftfoods.com/main.aspx?s=product&m=product/product_display&u3=******2100064515*** We grew up on Miracle Whip - Mom wouldn't have mayo in the house. Course there were some days that money was so tight we'd have "steak" sandwiches. Miracle Whip and bread. And I have a recipe for Miracle Whip Cake that doesn't seem to do as good with mayo. Now days it matters not to me which I have. I can tell if it's MW or mayo on the sandwich but it really matters not to me which I have if I have.

Totally stupid question: I bought "picked over crab meat" from my butcher today. This is going in a chilled watermelon soup for dinner tonight. This crab meat is cooked already, yes? (The same as the 'machine peeled shrimp' is ready to eat?) Quick response, if possible! Dinner's on the table in an hour, thanks!!

Thanks, Juju! Not quite in time, but I bit the bullet and served it as is, anyways. Mmm. Anyone looking for a cheap, easy, glamorous meal should check this out. I've only ever made it in the past with a mix of imitation crab and baby shrimp, tonight was the first I did w/ real crab. Excellent and fantastic, either way. I've only served it cold, but waiting to try it warm. Watermelon Soup

That sounds delicious, Karen! I've bookmarked it for this summer when the watermelon is abundant.

I haven't heard any "yuks"! I did go ahead and buy a jar of our regular mayo just to have on hand for potato salad, deviled eggs, etc. Since I haven't been buying his favorite sandwich meat (regular bologna, sugar cured ham,pastrami) but getting the low fat meats like turkey, he hasn't been making as many sandwichs. Guess I'm going to have to ask him.

Wait! Is the corned beef your dh brought home already spiced? If so, all you need to do is follow the baking directions on the package.

It probably came with the little packet of spices. Cut that open and pour it in the pot of water.

Metoo, I have fixed Cornedbeef and cabbage a few times. I do it in my crockpot. I use red potatoes and quarter them. I also put in carrots cut in pieces. They go on the bottom. Then I put the cornedbeef on top of them. Add the package of spices or season yourself. I then quarter a head of cabbage and place the wedges on top of the beef. Some recipes say to leave the cabbage for the last 15 minutes of cooking. Do that if you want the cabbage to be firm. I like it soft, so I put it in the pot from the start of cooking. Add about a cup of water or beef broth. Set your crockpot on high and cook for 5 to 6 hours. I love to start my crockpot just before noon and have my meal ready to eat by my 6pm dinner time.

Thanks, everybody. I just looked at it once when he was putting it in the freezer ( I was thinking "what am going to do with this?") and I think there was a little packet inside. Going to fix it this weekend. I'll let you know how it turns out.

OK, i'm not a cook, but, there was a dish at my work that i asked what the ingredients were. It basically is a chicked dish, but, it was dipped in PANKO. a japanese style bread crumb. on the box there is a pork recipe and you have to send away for more recipes. was wondering if any of you cooks out here have heard of this tasty bread crumb or have any easy recipes that include it.

Sherbabe, I use them all the time and with everything. Fish, beef, chicken and pork. Use them the same way you'd use crumbs. They are fabulous! They stay crispy. I have used them on fried zucchini and YUM! Have fun with them and use YOUR imagination!

Panko breadcrumbs can be used on anything that you'd use regular breadcrumbs on. Anything that you'd bread. Anything that you'd top (they really do wonders on homemade mac 'n cheese).
