It’s not a sammich without Miracle Whip

However, Miracle Whip is more water than anything else after a recent recipe change, and it’s all Walmart’s fault.
As any Good Eats fan knows, the whole point of slathering a fat like Miracle Whip, Mayo, or butter on a sammich is to protect the bread from the liquid content of your sammich fixins. Spreading water on your bread doesn’t really help.

You’re a Good Eats fan too, huh? Glad to know I’m in good company. We have ALL of Good Eats on DVD and/or TiVo. We’ve learned much that is applicable to all things cooking-related thanks to Alton Brown.
Maybe this calls for the “NEW COKE” revolt of the mid eighties.
I’m totally bummed to hear this news as we too choose Miracle Whip for certain recipes. In fact it has been the secret seasoning ingredient in my mashed potatoes for years. It just won’t be the same if my potatoes get runny as leftovers. And what’s the holidays w/out leftovers that are better the second day.
For coleslaw we have found a ready made dressing by Marie Calendar (sp?) sold cold in the salad/lettuce section of the supermarket to be a great quick tasty dressing. I wonder if mixing some of it w/ Mayo will work as a replacement for seasoning my potatoes, & macaroni/potatoe salads.
