as Duke's. I've never tried Duke's and this got me to wondering if it's much different than Hellman's. I had assumed since it was a Southern brand, it would have more sugar in it, not less. My Hellman's has sugar listed after salt, so surely there can't be very much in there. Anyone use Duke's? Where is the sugar listed in the ingredient list?

Duke's not available here but I think Hellman's is very sweet compared to Kraft. To me
Kraft tastes more lemony tart like homemade than Hellman's does.

Are they all made with soybean oil these days? Every one I've read the
label of seems to say soybean oil. Not that familiar taste of mayonnaise anymore! I've never heard of Duke's here.
Curious1 and Melissa, how can it taste sweet though, if it's 100% fat... hmm, not sure what you mean.

What kind of pickle is called for in your recipe? If sweet gherkins, instead of
sour gherkins or cornichons, maybe that's why they want a low-sugar mayo, though I don't think I've ever seen a recipe specify that.

Duke's and Blue Plate are very close & about all I will eat
I grew up on Blue Plate but it was hard to find in the Nashville area (and it's made in TN) for a while so I tried Duke's and found it similar. When I firt got married and put my Blue Plate in the fridge, my stepson put some on something and thought it was bad and threw a brand new jar away and didn't say anything - I found out when I went to put some on my burger - so I guess the taste is quite different from the Hellman's and Kraft that his dad used. I think it's less sweet and has a 'tang' or kick that the others don't have.

We lived in a small Caribbean country with a very small commissary...
Because of its' size and limited space, we could order only one brand of an item. This resulted in what we still call the "mayonnaise wars", specifically over Hellman's and Kraft. This was a much bigger issue than even peanut butter, if you can imagine. While we were there, we had a turn-over of two commissary managers for not listening to the right interest group. One coup after another.

That is funny Pat!
Great story Pat! I have a good friend that lived in the Bermuda for a few years. When we visited,
she asked what we could do for fun, and as always, I love to peruse the grocery stores/markets....I had such a laugh, apparently there was only one shipment of one bunch of arugula that month....
It was pure chaos! The woman at the register asked over the loudspeaker the cost of one bunch of arugula...You would think it was for free concert tickets...EVERYONE was running up to the register!! Will never forget it!! ((As it turned out; I believe it was between $4.00-$11.00!)) But, I guess they did not get arugula that often.
