Nice. Does it show where it was brewed?

(Guinness is available in 120 countries but there are only 6 Guinness breweries in the world!)

It is brewed in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China. 

 

Only six breweries in the world? More like 18.

I got an All-Clad D3 All in One 5 qt pan. I haven't used it yet. My Sweetie is on very soft food for awhile so I'm cooking small portions right now.

Huh, I didn't realise you could grow mayonnaise. The more you know!

I like it. I've been able to find it in Duluth from time to time at a reduced price also, but I notice that all the mayonnaise brands seem to be going up. I think Duke's and Hellman's are comparable flavors. i'll be interested to see what you think!

Some months ago I bought a jar of Duke's from Amazon, since stores here don't carry it.  I had a recipe that called for Duke's.  To make what, I don't remember.  I have yet to open it.  I'd love to hear what you think of the brand.  I regard dates on jars as "guidlines".

Duke's is much thicker than Hellman's.  I can taste the difference if I taste them directly, but I can't on a sandwich or in egg salad.  I've not tried potato salad, but I suspect it would also be indistinguishable to me. It might matter for a dip or something like that, where the mayo is a much bigger part o the flabor.  

 

Kewpie, on the other hand, I can taste in anything.  I don't like it, but lots of people do.

At the request of @rotuts, @gfweb and I both tasted Hellmans/Best Foods vs Duke's in this topic. 
It’s been 10 years so I’m delighted to hear that @rotuts may be sharing his own comparison sometime soon. 

 

In the years since, an Aldi opened in my area and I’ve been happy with their Hellmans/Best Foods look-alike.

I found my jar of Duke's.  The best buy date is 8/11/2024.  Note this is a "buy" date.  It says nothing about by when the product should be eaten.

I rarely use mayonnaise and have never tasted Duke's, but can get Hellman's here. Never have though.

 

I only use mayo occasionally if I make a potato salad and always make my own which has three advantages.

 

1) I make only as much as I need for that dish, so I don't need to worry about a jar going past its use by date.

2) It's easier than going shopping.
3) It tastes better (if I say so myself).

 

Kewpie is by far the widest available here but it is foul, especially the sweet one.

"Twang" instead of tang will put me off Dukes forever.
