Can anybody point me in the direction at to which brand of OZ mayonnaise is equivalent to Hellmanns the sweet Ozzie stuff in not to our taste and our sandwiches need help. :scared:

Hi Molly

There is no equivelant its all shite!!!!!

There is !!! It's called 'Best Foods' and it is the same product as Hellman's.
You can buy it in most Action Stores - well in Perth anyway!

Hope you find it.

Fortunately, mayo is really, really easy to make yourself.

ingredients
2 yolks of eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1-½ cups best vegetable oil
About 4 tablespoons lemon juice


instructions
Put the egg yolks in a small bowl, add the salt and a half teaspoon lemon juice, and mix well. Add the oil gradually, drop by drop at first, but faster as you proceed, and stir constantly. As the mixture thickens, thin it with lemon juice. Add oil and lemon juice alternately until all is used, stirring or beating constantly. Keep well covered and in a cool place when not in use.

Hi Molly,
You can actually get Hellmanns here, but it's very hard to find & will be more specialised shops, apparently Coles sold it at one time, but I have yet to find it.

I have found the "egg mayonnaise" to taste more like hellmanns compared to the sweet Aussie stuff. It really comes down to tried & tested. I buy one made by Praise. It's egg & low fat and my taste buds are coming round to making the best of a bad situation!

If you find Hellmanns then let us all know!!

try S&W Whole Egg Mayonnaise.. its sold in most supermakets and is fantastic just like hellmans

Jill
I’ll have look to see if we have any of these stores in the Hunter.

Thanks

Molly

I've tried this one too...it tastes the same as Hellmanns!! Just couldn't remember the name, but now I've seen it.....!!

As Podgy said, try S&W Whole Egg Mayo, or failing that try Praise Whole Egg Mayo (which is the one I prefer to S&W, but then Im not a pom ).

There was a thread on this a short while back. I think there was an S&W and S&W light version. I like Thomy Delikatess (Swiss) - all of which you can buy at Woolies. I haven't tried S&W yet - but many were enthusiastic about it.
I also find all the others peculiarly sweet.

Agreed PP and I love it. Funnily when I was in the UK at Christmas I had some Hellmans and realised I prefer S&W now.

We've recently found the S&W brand too (after chucking out loads of others which were yuk!!!) and it isn't too bad at all. Very easy to get hold of in Woolies/Coles but I haven't heard of the other store somebody mentioned in this area.

i love hellmanns and ive found that best foods real mayonaise is the most like it. i bought SW by mistake because its packaged the same but i didnt like it.

tried the praise stuff and its yuck...will need to look out for the others....but Bi Lo is a pretty crappy supermarket and thats all we got

My vote goes with the 'Best Foods - Real mayo', made by unilever, you can get it at Coles or Bi-lo, about $4 a pop.
