Miracle Whip is fucking delicious. There, I said it. It's so, so wrong yet so, so right.

However, I cannot imagine in a million years using that as a meatloaf ingredient. I don't even like meatloaf, for pete's sake.

@tscheese: I ... I would expect it to break down when exposed to heat like that. Also: beets, eww.

The ad reminds me of a 1970s cookbook that someone gave me. It had some of the most truly disgusting things in it. I deemed it a tome of evil on a par with the Necronomicon and sent it off to be guarded by monks.

I like how they underlined "cook". I can see the Mad Men scene now...

(Out of a cloud of crude sexual comments, a dialogue emerges...)
Paul: "Let's just have a naked lady with "Miracle Whip" spelled out on her body in mayonnaise!
(Laughter. Ken looks like he is actually considering that angle. Sal smiles to cover a wince.)

Don: "That would be excellent if our target audience were bachelors and working girls."

Ken: "The problem is, this stuff is disgusting. What the hell is it made of anyway?"

Peggy: [Enters with folder in hand. Hands to Don. Starts to leave. Sees a crude sketch made by Paul of oversexed mayo ad. Considers it a moment.]

Don: "Peggy, how do you think we can market this mayonnaise substitute to women?"

Peggy: "What's in it?"

Paul: "Mayonnaise."

Peggy: [confounded expression] Oh. [Thinks] Well... women work hard to cook a meal for their man because they, well, uh, *want* something... you know, from him...

Everyone: [looks confused]

Peggy exits.

The next day:

(In a meeting)

Sal: "So this is our rough draft of the ad campaign for Miracle Whip. We put the text in a box shaped like a recipe card."

Paul: "And we went with your suggestions, Peggy."

Peggy: "Uh, maybe if you swap out the photo of the naked lady for a picture of meat loaf or something. And underline the word "cook", so they know this isn't some kind of thing to be used with the Relaxiciser."

[Laughter all around. Meeting is inexplicably and wordlessly adjourned.]

Cooked mayonnaise smells disgusting. I must have it on my cold sandwiches, but cooked? It's a sin. I once (foolishly) followed a recipe for the Best Grilled Cheese Ever that instructed you to slather the bread with mayo instead of butter before cooking it. Groooossss.

@Pandorasvoicebox:No, that's the BOMB - it's lunch-lady grilled cheese all over again. The trick is not to slather, ever, but use a light hand - and mayo, never miracle whip.

Oh, nevermind. You're a beet person. Up is down, down is sideways.

Boy, that was one outre recipe. TWO tablespoons finely chopped onion! One whole QUARTER of a teaspoon of pepper!

Heaven's, I swoon.

@BabyJane: It makes me sad for the meatloaf. I just want to reach back in time and whisper, "It'll get better, 50's meatloaf, I promise. There'll be sriracha, or jalapenos & cilantro, or even, with the 80's, French's Fried Onions. Just hang in there, baby."

ETA: "p.s., tell the oven that it's not slow, we love it just the way it is."

@shnuguel: Same as mayo, more or less - egg yolks, oil, lemon juice/vinegar, dry mustard - MW ups the ante with HFCS and sugar.

@Lymed: If you're bored some time, read the ingredients in miracle whip, ketchup, mustard, and relish; then compare them to thousand island dressing.

We've discovered the real reason for the obesity epidemic: food used to be disgusting, whereas modern recipes are actually edible!

@Sanfo: I mean, I have heard the horror stories, but it didn't seem that bad. I don't care for most frosting, but honestly, I would probably eat this.

Clearly, it should not be served at Kwanzaa, but... hey, I'd eat it for other special occasions.

Maybe I have no sense of taste?

@boxspelunker: You saw the corn nuts, right? And know what they are? (Basically, really HARD deep fried hominy. I mean, addictive as hell at a softball tournament or something, but on a cake? No. A million times over.)

Why why why is there mayo in a meatloaf in the first place?

Hellmann's full fat all the way baby. None of that light crap for me. And yes, I've tried the olive oil version. Nope. And Miracle Whip? It's a miracle it's still on the market.

Oh and I just noticed the instructions: Pack the meat into a ring mold. This unfortunate grouping of words made me think of: Ringworms, Mold, and quarts of liquefied meat. I'm going to go now. And by go I mean forcefully expel the contents of my stomach via my mouth. brb.
