Making mayonnaise is one of the first things that one learns in chef school. The reality, though, is that Hellmann's/Best Foods mayo just tastes so good on sandwiches, and Kraft mayo is perfect (neutral taste) for salads and dressings.
Dukes was the brand I bought but all the above have sugar and soybean oil as an ingredient
I watch Martha Stuarts cooking school program everyday ,last week she did a show on home made mayonnaise.one can get quite creative with the product.= Basic Mayonnaise
Thanks for the link. I always add a spoon of spicy mustard to my basic recipe
Now, I do like making my own mayonnaise when it is a main ingredient of a cooking recipe (eg. tomato pie), when making a flavored aioli sauce, or as a thickener (eg. moules mariniere).
It has all the right ingredients for a tasty mayo. I always have Hon Dashi granules on-hand, so I can whip-up a quick udon or miso soup without running to the Asian market for Bonito flakes.
I like to cook, but this is way too much trouble for me instead of a quick trip to the Asian market. In my 'hood, I can even buy this stuff from Walmart on the free deliver to store program - it's CHEAPER than the Asian market!
I see the Wafu mayo all the time at my grocery stores but never bought it. If you think that it's the same as (or similar to) Kewpie, what's the story with Kewpie? How is it different from regular mayo?

PS. I love mayonnaise.
Not the same. Waft is flavored mayo - wasabi, sesame, etc.
Kewpie is mayo that just tastes a little different than regular mayo. Sweeter, richer, creamier - to my taste buds. Sort of like a really good cabernet versus a cheap cabernet. They have similar profiles but not the same flavor and mouth feel.

Got it! I mean, I *won't* get the Wafu stuff; I get what you're saying. I'll be on the lookout for Kewpie. Thanks!
