I buy both Miracle Whip and mayonnaise. I loved Miracle Whip as a kid, so I don't get why some people don't like it. It has its place.
I loved Kraft yellow cheese sandwiches on Wonderbread with MW, and I still like it now with tomatoes and cheese. Just today, I had MW on white bread with bologna and mustard, and it was awesome. Sometimes I use it in tuna or egg salad, and sometimes I use mayo. It just depends on what I feel like.
Dieters love it because it has half the calories of mayo.
If one is that concerned about calories than it really has none of the calories because no self respecting person that uses mayo will use the stuff....lol.

Bologna and cheese sandwiches; my kids think I am nuts, but that is still one of my favorite comfort foods. We don't buy bologna often, but was raised on it and still love them; mustard on one slice of bread and mayo on the other. I don't do the wonderbread though.

Us either, but my husband likes a good quality bologna, so we usually have it once a month or so. He likes fried bologna.
My mother had a "one bite" rule. When she made something new we had to try one bite. If we didn't like it.... we didn't have to eat it. There was always something on the plate she knew we'd eat so we just filled up on that. No drama. No big deal. What we liked and didn't like was not a secret.
Mealtimes were our chance to sit and talk and share our days. Good times. We weren't the house with parents saying, "There are starving children in China. Clean your plate!!"
I'm with those who genuinely liked everything we ate growing up. My mom is a great cook and I am an adventurous eater, so it worked out well.
The one thing I can think of would be shrimp. I loved shrimp when I was little, and I love them now. But there was a period of time, maybe age 15-17 or so, where I inexplicably lost the taste for them or something. We ate them pretty infrequently because they cost more than other meal options, so whenever we got shrimp it was supposed to be a special treat. Mom and Dad went crazy for them, and I didn't have the heart to tell them that I just wasn't into shrimp any more. I grew out of it, and I'm glad I kept my opinions to myself or I might not have noticed that I liked them again for a very long time.
My mom really never forced us to eat anything we did not like. In fact she would make 2 meals, one for my brother and I and the other for her and my father, but only for certain dinners. We liked mostly everything she made and since she was kind of picky she never cooked a food she hated.
My stepmother used to make the most horrendous chicken a la king. Basically canned chicken, frozen veggies and cheap refrigerated biscuits on top. i hated it, but was polite and never said a word, happy that I had a hot meal.
A few years later, her son was getting married. She made a cookbook up with her recipes in it for my future sis in law. After she was out if the room, he picked it up and said " I hope she didn't put it in there..." He turned the pages until he saw the chicken a la king, and told his fiancée if she ever cooked it, he would divorce her! We all giggled about that.
Yellow rice, she cooked it often as a side. I never did like the stuff.
