Fantastic rabbit-hole for me as an European! I had never heard of Miracle Whip (or Miracel whip" (sic!) as sold in Germany)

Maybe it is the secret ingredient to a perfect cole slaw? More sweet and more mustard. I would really like to try, but I need to find an import shop for this magic paste!

For some reason it has a terrible aftertaste that ruins whatever it's on.

It's definitely not just "mayo but with sugar and mustard."

Like everything else in this article and thread, it probably used to be. Now it’s mostly natural and artificial flavors held together by food chemistry from New Jersey.

I've made this before in a pinch and it's your usual homemade mayonnaise recipe except you deliberately add too much vinegar and as much sugar as your palate can take. If you want to get it even closer to what we have in the USA, use the lowest quality "vegetable oil" you can find.

It's only purpose in my life is precisely that: coleslaw.
