I was raised with Miracle Whip too, but I switched to mayonnaise. Even
better than commercial mayo is home made.

What have you got to lose by trying it.... and egg, a cup of oil, salt,
mustard powder and some vinegar or lemon juice. Put everything but the
oil in a blender, turn it on and then slower add the oil. It takes a
minute or two start to finish.

I never pictured myself liking olives either. Then one day when I had
the munchies I tried some. They were quite tasty. The bottled guys
aren't all that great, but if you can get some from an olive bar you are
in for a treat.
