Don't hold the mayo, please

When I was a kid I made mayonnaise with my grandmother, a cook so fine I never did figure out why she didn't pass her culinary skills along to my mom.

Using lots of eggs and oil, Grandmom whipped up a delicious spread that elevated sandwiches and salads when while it expanded waistlines.

Duke's mayonnaise captures that spirit and freshness, starting back in 1917 when Eugenia Duke, an entrepreneurial housewife from Greenville, S.C., started whipping up sandwiches for soldiers.

A guilty pleasure to this day, the Duke's family recipe is still livening lunches and propelling picnics. (It's also the secret ingredient in moist chocolate cake and Chicken a la King, teamed with seasonings from the Spice Hunter.)

You can bring some of that southern flavor to your door, ordering mayo, salad dressings and other condiments online at www.dukesmayo.com

Expect to pay $20 for four 32-ounce jars. Then start spreading it on.
