Around my household, folks use mayonaise for just about everything.
Morningstar eats mayo sandwiches (yak) and everyone loves mayo&tomato
sandwiches and mayo as a dip for their frenchfries. One of our house makes
a mix of mayo, ketsup, horseradish and hotsauce as a dip for crabs
(gak)~~but we don't like Miracle Whip! We prefer Hellman's.
I do agree with Lady Tyrca's mom about putting jelly or jam on grilled
cheese sandwiches!

name right---where is that coffee...)
