According to FDA regulations, for a product to be labeled 'mayonnaise' it must contain at least 65% vegetable oil by weight. But when it comes to personal preference, the debate over whether real mayonnaise or Miracle Whip is better remains a hot topic for home cooks and food enthusiasts across the country.
