Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I always liked nayonaise until I tried vegenaise...my gosh that stuff is absolutely rich and delicious! I thought that the vegenaise tastes more like real mayo and the nayonaise more like miracle whip. either way, yum, but not cheap. --- On Sat, 4/25/09, robin koloms <rkoloms wrote: robin koloms <rkoloms Re: cost Saturday, April 25, 2009, 12:47 AM There are two popular vegan mayos: Nayonaise and Veganaise.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 We've made similar homemade vegan mayo. except we don't use hot sauce, we add lemon juice and we used canola oil. It's ridiculously easy to make. not sure on the cost, though, since we generally use all organic ingredients. *^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Tara J Petite tara www.petite.net On Behalf Of Laura Ballinger Morales Friday, April 24, 2009 8:01 PM Re: cost Recipe for homemade veganaise http://www.recipezaar.com/Vegan-Mayo-90544.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Interesting theory. I did indeed grow up with mayo; I don't think I've ever tried miracel Whip and frankly you couldn't pay me. Never tried Veganaise, nayonaise is so great. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who comes up with theories like this. j. ________________________________ robin koloms <rkoloms Friday, April 24, 2009 7:47:27 PM Re: cost There are two popular vegan mayos: Nayonaise and Veganaise.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Ive been thinking a lot about this cost comparison conversation and also health. An organic vego diet would be cheaper than an organic meat based one. If a family lived on white bread, sausages and mixed frozen veg than it would be cheaper but if a family bought organic meat which is far more expensive than say organic tofu or beans. Well it is here anyway. I think vegan protein goes further than meat. For example a 500g bag of chickpeas soaked will feed a family for 2 meals. I paid $2.00 for chickpeas and what is the price of the same amount of mince? I'd say $5? That usually does one spag bol. Just a thought. Ange.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi Connie, I saw this at Trader Joes and was considering asking someone to open a jar so I could taste it (they are always happy to do this at TJs; they will also gladly issue refund if you buy something and don't like it), but my teen was being a PITA and I had to go. What does it taste like?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think it tastes like mayonnaise! I don't think it tastes different. It's not Miracle Whip-ish. I bought some recently for $2.99.
