Mayo vs. Miracle Whip

 Me:  "I know a lot of people love it, but, I'm not a fan of Chef's.  I guess I just don't like their sauce."

Friend: "What!  Are you crazy! Everyone loves Chef's!  How can you not like it?"

Me: "Whoa, I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to insult them or anything.  I said I know a lot of people love Chef's.  They're just not MY favorite.  I know their spaghetti parm is very popular,  but it's just not for me."

Soon to be former friend:  "Well, that's just nuts.  Chef's is my favorite restaurant!  Spaghetti parm is the bomb! You suck!"
                 

Have you ever had a conversation like this?   Where it feels like you have hurt someone's feelings because you disagree on food choice?  Sometimes, you do have to be careful around this subject.  There are a few food choices that people are passionate about.  For example, there is the mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip debate.  I have heard  people defend their choice for hours. For the record, I'm on the mayo team,  and only Hellmann's at that, but I do understand when someone likes Miracle Whip.  It's not their fault  really, they were just brought up wrong.

Have you ever run into someone from Rochester who defends white hots?

I have, and it isn't pretty. If you're not familiar, white hots are some kind of goofy sausage they make there.  This person had the nerve to say that white hots are better than Sahlens hot dogs!

 

  I have never actually eaten a white hot, but I know they're NOT better.  That would be ridiculous.

Then there is the Coke vs. Pepsi debate. Or the Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi.  I could go on, but  I have just noticed a common thread with most of the food choices mentioned here.  They are terrible for you, and we shouldn't be eating (or drinking)  any of them. That won't stop the argument though.  I wonder which is worse, mayonnaise or Miracle Whip?  I think it's Miracle Whip......
