Sweet Baby Ray's Barbeque Sauce "The sauce is the Boss"

Shroom,

I am a chunky kinda guy.

Yes there is another mayo other than sparged old Hellmann's! "Another reason to love the south" (Savuer magazine)=DUKE'S MAYONNAISE!
Not sparged(hydrogen bubbled into it to give it more volume for the weight)-Natural ingredients, dense, creamy and flavorful!

What about Brooks Catsup? Used to get it in Memphis when I was growing up. Now, I guess it is only available in certain parts of the Midwest. Can't get it out here in Seattle. What a shame!

[shroomgirl]

I know Brooks ketchup don't know Dukes mayo.... where are they prevelant? I don't remember seeing them in La.

White Lily flour...oh my

[Greg]

Dukes is huge in North Carolina. For store-bought, it IS the best!

I worked in the egg business too long to ever be able to buy manufactured mayo again. But my list includes:
Augsburger Beer
Jiffy peanut butter-smooth (I have a 2-yr.old)
Grape Nuts

For about the past 3 years, here in New York City we have been able to get a wonderful fresh mayonnaise from France. The brand name is DeLouis Fils and it originates in Champsac, France. It is made of all fresh ingredients and is flown in every couple of days. It comes in two versions, a plain mayonnaise, which is wonderful, and an aioli, which is absolutely superb. The price is quite reasonable, about $3.50 for a 12-ounce container. Once the plastic container is opened, it keeps for about a month in the refrigerator. For those who are near New York City, it's available at Fairway (Broadway and 74th) and Zabar's (Broadway and 80th Street). Certainly I am not denigrating Hellman's, which I often rely on, but these imported fresh versions of mayonnaise are really remarkable. I would like to hear some feedback from those who are able to find them!
