Thank GOD my mom never used Miracle Whip, only mayo, in chicken salad, tuna salad, pasta salads, potato salads. Or sweet relish. Those two ingredients are my main reason for being wary of prepared salads I didn't make.
For that reason alone, I don't eat anyone's prepared salads without asking upfront if they used the goo (Miracle Whip). Sad fact is I haven't found one person yet that doesn't use goo in their salads.
I don't mind picky eaters (I'm one myself), but I have taught my kids to be polite about it. One kid hates potatoes, another hates pasta, and another hates tomatoes. No biggie, just pick out the stuff you don't like and get over it.
Is it weird I can't eat a sliced tomatoes on a sandwich. It would have to be chopped or minced for me. This goes all the way back when I was a child and made to eat really thick sliced tomatoes at a daycare. I would purposely drink milk when I ate the tomatoes just so I couldn't taste it.

Not weird, I absolutely hate tomatoes. Slimy things they are! I can deal with small diced ones if there is enough other things in the food. And tomato sauce is ok if it's not chunky with them. Chunky with meat is fine.
My mom luckily never used Miracle Whip and I don't even use mayo anymore. I don't have any condiments in my fridge at all!

Glad I am not the only one. I tend to make my own sauces,mayo now days
Sweet relish... I tasted it only once and was horrified at the experience of mixing something sweet with something savory. Just not my thing. I love pickles though, so I took to using minced dill pickles instead.

I even ask as restaurants...as especially in the south they use the mwhip.....which is the perfect way to ruin anything it touches in my opinion.

That's how I feel about all forms of mayo. I don't eat any potato or pasta salad with mayo. I have used very small amounts to thicken my coleslaw dressing, but I am talking about 1 tbsp. for an entire bowl of salad. I can't stand it on anything, even sandwiches. That slime is repulsive.

Now I do love mayo...especially my mother's homemade tarargon mayo...but miracle whip is an abomination.
