?
And best brand of ketchup?
lesser of two evils kav
Gefen?
Gefen doesn’t post anymore.
if tommys is KLP then tommys mayo
I don’t recall who makes it, but last year I liked the ones in the plastic squeeze bottles. They don’t separate.
gefen definitely
Maybe it was the tuna’s fault.
Make your own.
ewww, ketchup in tuna
Gefen is #1, try it even plain and compare if you aren’t sure.
I love gefen (I especially love saying a Borei Pri Hagefen…) Pesachdig tuna for some reason is just awful (makes no sense that this is so, but it is). In general, I find Gefen products and/or Haddar are excellent.
indeed,takah, in our neck of the woods, all I ever saw was “le’ochlei ktniyot bilvad” so for the must have mayo for the must have potato salad, I learned to whip up my own. This year with pistacio oil. Recently there is Gefen here relabeled, but don’t use that much, and distrust the unspecified ‘vegetable oil’ ingredient.
Twisted, here in EY, some years there is mayo that is KLP for ashkenazim but not always. This year Gefen came out here in quantity and many stores are carrying it. I know that Gefen’s “vegetable oil” ingredient is in fact cottonseed oil, which has a psak from ashkenazi poskim of being chashash kitniyos, so we don’t buy it since we follow the poskim here. If you follow poskim from US, they hold that it’s not kitniyos and you can use it. Many unsuspecting Israelis are not aware of this issue and I had to point it out to people running stores/sales that this is the issue so that they can make purchasers aware of it before they use it unknowingly on Pesach.
I don’t like mayo anyway, so it doesn’t affect me.
I don’t like mayo either! As for ketchup, we like Gold’s “hint of horseradish” ketchup.
Thanks Nechoma, my gut feeling is now confirmed. I would not, under any circumstances eat cottonseed oil, anytime. As for hashgachos, I try to use as few manufactured products as possible, and I will eat kitniyot and derivatives if they are native to the new world. So when the badatz holding relatives went home, I started using sunflower oil. I just avoid the potential eye-popping ones, corn and beans.
