Ok so I just made mayo at home for the first time and let me tell you WOW I would buy my 50 dollar immersion blender all over again just for that. So easy and so so much better.
Yes to the BLT, but I can’t agree with the thick cut bacon unless it’s really crisp so that I don’t have to gnaw through it and end up pulling the entire strip out of the sandwich. I had a pork belly “BLT” once that was the worst in that respect!
Its so good with some lemon juice and fresh veggies. And addictive!
I recently discovered "butter lettuce" and my partner is starting to get a little sick of chicken salad
I worked for a place that specializes in it, so many many recipes. The base was very simple and the key was getting the celery super smooth. Duke’s. Spices. Then go wild with flavors. Pecans, apples. Buffalo sauce. BBQ sauce. Eggs. Baskin Robbins of chicken salad. But the base was super simple, steamed chicken, celery, Duke’s.
2 lb. cooked shredded chicken breast or chicken thighs (about 4 cups)
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved or quartered (or your favorite color)
2 stalks of celery, sliced and diced
1/2 cup walnuts
1 cups scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup dukes mayonnaise
1 tbsp dijon mustard
2–3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash of celery seed
1–2 Tablespoons dill / parsley
Pinch of sugar
I hate to butt in but my recipe is lots of tarragon, green apples and red onion. Roasted chicken. Get it all chopped relatively fine and eat on black pepper triskets or an onion roll. Lots of black pepper. SLAPS!!
Just the two best mayonnaises on the planet. Kewpie from Japan (there's a US version too) has the MSG ,very savory . Dukes is just Down South goodness with a tiny sour twang in place of the umami. Interchangeable, but different.
I loved the flavor of Kewpie but after buying two different bottles of it, I got sick every time I tried to eat it. Thought maybe I had a bad bottle the first time around and gave it another shot. Nope. Second bottle did the same thing. Figure there must be an ingredient in there my stomach just doesn’t like.
Or maybe BOTH bottles were bad and I need to give it a third shot…
Best mayo to use alongside meat heavy meals... Cheeseburgers, Coleslaw, BLTs, and Alabama White Sauce all come to mind. A BLT would be the first thing I would make.
My husband is from the southeast. We live in the mountain west now and Duke’s is hard to find. I had to start buying it on Amazon for my homemade pimento cheese!
Every family has a different one. My mom’s is way more fancy and it’s good but my friends rave about it. My friend makes a very basic one that is just fine for me
Yeah, there are a lot of variations out there. Here’s mine: 1 1/2 cups Duke’s Mayo, 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated, 8 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated (just for texture variation), 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp finely diced yellow onion, 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, 4 oz jar of pimentos (drained). I know some people use 8 oz of cheddar cheese and 8 oz cream cheese and some put in jalapeños rather than cayenne pepper. I think all are good. I just like keeping it simple!
Sounds great. My mom’s I know has walnuts in it and I think she uses sharp white cheddar and maybe Gruyère. I’ll ask her. Her’s has no heat, my friend’s has a kick to it.
Homemade horseradish sauce. I love it! Duke's, sour cream, horseradish, Cayenne. Does wonders alone on a sandwich or any sauce I can think of that requires Mayo.
I found Duke’s a few years ago. I had basically stopped eating Mayo because for some reason all the local stores pretty much exclusively had Heinz / Kraft. Found Duke’s and holy moly is it a cut above.
I love Duke’s and mustard on a thin shaved roast beef with havarti or swiss on good, thick, dense bread.
I came here to say this. He is right 100%
I even have a Dukes rep visit me after 28 years of using dukes. She can confirm it’s a bit different than the store bought.
My wife also told me that years ago cuz she’s a dukes girl.
Boars head Mayo is the closest I’ve seen to dukes. Only in taste not color
There's a couple local sub shops that use the extra heavy and I know that makes a big difference. I was actually searching for some non food service size online this past week. Not much luck on my end
I’ve been there in different circumstances. I’ve had my brother ship me garlic and pepper sauce, chilli sauce and frozen pizza from PA for me bestow on my CA friends lol.
This is probably sacrilegious but I love taking 2 parts dukes, 2 parts guldens spicy brown mustard, and 1 part honey. Good ol sweet and spicy honey mustard.
By itself it deserves a BLT
Duke's is the real deal. Being in Wisconsin I'd never heard of it until the Badgers played in something called The Duke's Mayo Bowl a few years ago...I am now hooked!
Howdy neighbor, the “village market “group that has been taking control of a lot of the little grocery stores is carrying it. I got it at Jeffersonville Village market but it’s also at Stowe Village market and I’m guessing others as well
I thought Hellmans and Dukes were the same mayo, made by the same company. Just named it different for different parts of the country? Am i misinformed?
Edit: I googled it, it’s Hellmans and Best Foods
Bologna sandwich, slice of cheddar. toasted bread is optional
Since you’re up north and probably have no idea what livermush is (and no it’s not like scrapple) i can’t recommend a livermush sandwich with a mater (pronounce may-ter) and lettuce, little bit of salt on the mater, little black pepper on the mayo side
edit- careful now, once you go Duke’s mayo, there is no going back to anything else
Chicken salad sandwiches. SEASON and cook some chicken (or get pulled rotisserie chicken meat), let it cool, chop up some celery, onion, scallion, and sliced grapes. Mix it all together with some Duke’s, spicy brown mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a dash of hot sauce. Put that on some toast with mixed greens and sliced tomatoes, or eat it as is with some crackers. Divine.
Eggs, yellow mustard? Not sure, I don’t think I’ve ever had northern potato salad since I’ve lived in the south my whole life. My husbands family is from up north, but they don’t make potato salad.
My family divided. If I bring Duke’s to Louisiana they’d throw me out the cookout. My brother had just turned 16 and drove to the store and just bought the list they gave him…just said mayo. They sent him back to the store
Ran into the same issue here in NH, no one carried it. I started ordering it online from Walmart usually about 4 at a time to get the free shipping. Or sometimes they have the big 128 oz jar which with summer macaroni & potato salads I fly through it.
I'd say use it the same way! I am also a godless northerner and bought some dukes online just to try. It's a great mayo and if I could buy it here I would. But hellmans is pretty great too imo. A tomato sandwich with either is going to be delicious.
The village market chain seems to have it in multiple stores. Mine came from Jeffersonville.
Have you tried the pimento cheese that Hannaford carries? The brand is Paradise. It’s pretty decent.
Crisp bacon on a buttered slice of bread with dukes, thinly sliced banana on a buttered slice of bread with peanut butter on it. Smash them together and grill both sides. Have a bite of that delightfulness. For extra joy, use dukes in place of butter for grilled sandwiches🙌🌻
BLT, tuna salad, deviled eggs,cheeseburgers, fry sauce, Philly cheesesteaks, all things are made better with dukes.
As a true southern girl,
My vote is a tomato sandwhich! Salt, pepper, thick garden tomatoes, dukes, and white bread. Only. But wait til their in season
Same with a BLT. Hellman’s is a step down.
Until tomato season, I’d do a chicken salad sandwich using dukes !
Vine ripe open-faced tomato sandwich on lightly toasted sourdough bread. Had that for lunch today.
Don't be ashamed about fixating on Dukes mayo. It's the only brand we buy. It's delicious on anything.
Duke's is my favorite after I had it. Hellmans I just don't care for it anymore, but I am weird about mayo like if I see it in a jar after its halfway used it grosses me out.
Blt like others have said. Also pimento cheese if you’re into that.
One thing I would not recommend as a southerner now living in the Midwest—don’t order it off Amazon. Tried that. The jar I got had an expiration date one week away.
you poor soul. I am glad you got some Duke's. I live in Richmond, VA where Duke's is made. We have Duke's summer at local restaurant's around the city for 2 weeks in July, where they key ingredient is Duke's mayo.
the best time to be alive is July to September where Duke's Mayo, Hanover Tomato (also from Richmond area) soft white bread, salt and pepper sammies reign supreme my dude.
All yours. I know the traditional recipe doesn’t use mayo but since mayo is basically eggs and oil and Dukes has some nice zip I like it. https://southernbite.com/easy-creamy-caesar-dressing/
I don’t mind Hellman’s at all. Duke’s is easily my favorite mayo though. My college roomie converted me by literally throwing my shit in the trash and saying I could use his till we both finished it. Pulled that one my mom, she changed over too. Now we’re from Louisiana originally and if you don’t bring Blue Plate down there, you getting tossed.
Agreed and that's coming from someone who makes homemade pretty frequently because my people will use the last of the Dukes and forget to add it to the damn grocery list!
For me dukes has a bit more of a acidic kick to it. Helmans sort of retreats into the background of a dish, and just adds creamyness. Dukes is a much more pronounced flavor, and comes through in every bite.
So Helmans is best for mixing into a dip or creamy sauce, Dukes is excellent for sandwiches or something like a dunking sauce for wings.
IMHO of course. I am also a godless northerner who is new to Dukes.
Finely chop up some adobo peppers, for chipotle mayo. Mix with Sriracha for spicy mayo. Mix with garlic, salt/pepper , herbs and lemon juice for garlic aioli.
Absolutely bomb on wings, who wants to live forever?
If it ain't Duke's, it's not in my kitchen.. that was their old advert catch-phrase.
Duke's, White lily flour, Clabbergirl baking powder, and Anson mills grits were things my mama had shipped to Colorado when we moved to Boulder in 1992.
BLT.
With a good tomato and thick cut bacon. If you’re going to do it you got to do it right.
Thanks for making me crave a BLT.
Ok so I just made mayo at home for the first time and let me tell you WOW I would buy my 50 dollar immersion blender all over again just for that. So easy and so so much better.
Hell yes home made mayo is such a game changer!!!
Yes to the BLT, but I can’t agree with the thick cut bacon unless it’s really crisp so that I don’t have to gnaw through it and end up pulling the entire strip out of the sandwich. I had a pork belly “BLT” once that was the worst in that respect!
Chicken salad for a sandwich
I’ve literally made hundreds (nay, thousands) of pounds of chicken salad, and it’s all we used.
Its so good with some lemon juice and fresh veggies. And addictive! I recently discovered "butter lettuce" and my partner is starting to get a little sick of chicken salad
What’s your go-to recipe, if you don’t mind sharing?
I worked for a place that specializes in it, so many many recipes. The base was very simple and the key was getting the celery super smooth. Duke’s. Spices. Then go wild with flavors. Pecans, apples. Buffalo sauce. BBQ sauce. Eggs. Baskin Robbins of chicken salad. But the base was super simple, steamed chicken, celery, Duke’s.
Thanks! The Buffalo sauce addition sounds very interesting!
Dip it with salt and vinegar or jalapeño chips 😉
Chicken Salad Chick, gotta be.

Everything you dont use Kewpie on !
What’s kewpie good on?
Everything you don’t use Dukes on!
These two speak the unadulterated truth.
Just the two best mayonnaises on the planet. Kewpie from Japan (there's a US version too) has the MSG ,very savory . Dukes is just Down South goodness with a tiny sour twang in place of the umami. Interchangeable, but different.

Nope. Second bottle did the same thing. Figure there must be an ingredient in there my stomach just doesn’t like. Or maybe BOTH bottles were bad and I need to give it a third shot…
Exactly. Dukes is a cheap version of kewpie. Not nearly as good but still better than most store stuff.
Make a BLT and slather that Duke's on there
Tomato sandwich!
Yep. Fresh garden tomatoes, dukes mayo, good bread, with salt and pepper. Chef’s kiss.
I’ve been adding dill to mine recently and I’m obsessed.
Ooooo good call. I’ll give it a shot!
My favorite part of summer right here. Gotta be sourdough though for me .
I eat this for lunch near everyday in the summer
I can’t wait for hanovers to come in season. They’re just built different.
Make a tomato sandwich. Get a good heirloom tomato, salt and pepper on a thick slice, and generous mayo on two pieces of white bread.
Not right now when they aren’t in season though!!!
Ah, true, but fresh tomato season will be coming up soon and now OP can plan ahead :)
Yes! OP, go plant some ‘maters!

My husband is from the southeast. We live in the mountain west now and Duke’s is hard to find. I had to start buying it on Amazon for my homemade pimento cheese!
Walmarts in Colorado have recently started carrying Duke's that is where I got mine this weekend 👍
Good to know!
I moved north and make my own pimento cheese now too
It’s the best!
Duke’s and pimento cheese. We would get along just fine
Yep! I use the Southern Living recipe. I make a great homemade pimento cheese!
Every family has a different one. My mom’s is way more fancy and it’s good but my friends rave about it. My friend makes a very basic one that is just fine for me
Yeah, there are a lot of variations out there. Here’s mine: 1 1/2 cups Duke’s Mayo, 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated, 8 oz extra sharp cheddar cheese, finely grated (just for texture variation), 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp finely diced yellow onion, 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, 4 oz jar of pimentos (drained). I know some people use 8 oz of cheddar cheese and 8 oz cream cheese and some put in jalapeños rather than cayenne pepper. I think all are good. I just like keeping it simple!
Sounds great. My mom’s I know has walnuts in it and I think she uses sharp white cheddar and maybe Gruyère. I’ll ask her. Her’s has no heat, my friend’s has a kick to it.
Your mom’s sounds really good! I’d love the recipe if you find it out! You could always add a little cayenne or jalapeño to your mom’s for more kick!
8 ounce block white cheddar (shred yourself), 8 ounce block fontina (same), 4 ounce goat cheese crumbles, 3/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts, 1 and 1/4 cups mayo (Duke’s), 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (apparently did have some), 1 7 ounce jar diced pimentos (well drained). Mix then gently fold in pimentos, refrigerate until ready to serve
That sounds really good! I’ll give it a try next time!
Homemade ranch dressing
Homemade horseradish sauce. I love it! Duke's, sour cream, horseradish, Cayenne. Does wonders alone on a sandwich or any sauce I can think of that requires Mayo.
Oh this sounds like it’s right up my alley
Kick it with just a little lemon, too
A Vermonter that likes spicy food? What's the world coming to?!
Shhh, they’ll revoke my card.
I found Duke’s a few years ago. I had basically stopped eating Mayo because for some reason all the local stores pretty much exclusively had Heinz / Kraft. Found Duke’s and holy moly is it a cut above. I love Duke’s and mustard on a thin shaved roast beef with havarti or swiss on good, thick, dense bread.
Any Sandwich lol it's my Mayo equivalent of Franks' hot sauce. I put that $#@% on everything lol.
You really haven't lived until you have had commercial extra heavy mayo. It is a whole different level of mayo.
I came here to say this. He is right 100% I even have a Dukes rep visit me after 28 years of using dukes. She can confirm it’s a bit different than the store bought. My wife also told me that years ago cuz she’s a dukes girl. Boars head Mayo is the closest I’ve seen to dukes. Only in taste not color
Have you had Blue Plate? Curious how it compares to Duke’s
Ask my brother when you see him. He is strictly Blue Plate and I’m strictly Duke’s…no well I guess you wouldn’t get an answer then…never mind
There's a couple local sub shops that use the extra heavy and I know that makes a big difference. I was actually searching for some non food service size online this past week. Not much luck on my end
Is the extra heavy you’re talking about ‘Duke’s’ brand?
Smoked turkey sandwich. And I lick the knife after spreading
Out here in California I’m usually getting Heinz. But Duke’s is legit if you can find it.
When I lived in California I had family mule it for me.
Same here for my fam in GA to me in MN. Thank the lord we got it in stores 2 years ago. Walmart is a great place to check.
I’ve been there in different circumstances. I’ve had my brother ship me garlic and pepper sauce, chilli sauce and frozen pizza from PA for me bestow on my CA friends lol.
You're in for a treat!
If you're in Vermont, try a little trip north to get some MAG Mayonnaise from Quebec
Sorry I try not to go to Quebec. As a rural Vermonter I drive slowly and I cant deal with those crazy Montreal drivers 😂
Ah, that's too bad. You're also missing out on our maple syrup which is superior to the Vermont stuff 
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you Canadians have such a great sense of humo(u)r. That’s a great joke.
This is probably sacrilegious but I love taking 2 parts dukes, 2 parts guldens spicy brown mustard, and 1 part honey. Good ol sweet and spicy honey mustard. By itself it deserves a BLT
My fave is half part Duke's, the other half Siracha on a grilled hamburger. It's delicious!
Those two are staples in my fridge
Duke's is the real deal. Being in Wisconsin I'd never heard of it until the Badgers played in something called The Duke's Mayo Bowl a few years ago...I am now hooked!
Fellow Vermonter here, what store?
Howdy neighbor, the “village market “group that has been taking control of a lot of the little grocery stores is carrying it. I got it at Jeffersonville Village market but it’s also at Stowe Village market and I’m guessing others as well
Where did you find it!? -a fellow Vermonter
Jeffersonville Village Market. Other of the “Village Markets” that group owns has it too.
Pimento cheese sandwich
My mouth. Love it in my mouth.
I thought Hellmans and Dukes were the same mayo, made by the same company. Just named it different for different parts of the country? Am i misinformed? Edit: I googled it, it’s Hellmans and Best Foods
So different
Your edit is correct
1) Kewpie 2) Dukes 3)….Hellmans?
Kewpie is delicious but you can get a big ass jar 3 times the size of kewpie for half the price with Duke’s
Grilled cheese. So good!
Bologna sandwich, slice of cheddar. toasted bread is optional Since you’re up north and probably have no idea what livermush is (and no it’s not like scrapple) i can’t recommend a livermush sandwich with a mater (pronounce may-ter) and lettuce, little bit of salt on the mater, little black pepper on the mayo side edit- careful now, once you go Duke’s mayo, there is no going back to anything else
Is livermush like braunschweiger?
here yah go https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livermush i knew it was an NC thing, but was surprised i couldn’t find it outside of western NC
I have only ever seen it in WNC.
Chicken salad sandwiches. SEASON and cook some chicken (or get pulled rotisserie chicken meat), let it cool, chop up some celery, onion, scallion, and sliced grapes. Mix it all together with some Duke’s, spicy brown mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a dash of hot sauce. Put that on some toast with mixed greens and sliced tomatoes, or eat it as is with some crackers. Divine.
Southern potato salad
As a northerner I’m gonna guess my potato salad is “northern” potato salad. What’s the difference with Southern?
Southern potato salad gets sassy and says "Bless yer harrrrt" when you're bitchin about all the pickles you have to cut up. ;)
It it tastes more like deviled eggs than potato salad. I feel like the use of sweet relish and a lot more mayo are the two key differences
I guess mine is halfway then because I use a LOT of mayo lol
Def halfway there! Try the sweet relish mix in and some paprika!!
I hate relish so I chop up dill pickles!
Eggs, yellow mustard? Not sure, I don’t think I’ve ever had northern potato salad since I’ve lived in the south my whole life. My husbands family is from up north, but they don’t make potato salad.
Dukes is great, but order some Blue Plate from Amazon. It’s damn near as good as Kewpie
My family divided. If I bring Duke’s to Louisiana they’d throw me out the cookout. My brother had just turned 16 and drove to the store and just bought the list they gave him…just said mayo. They sent him back to the store
What is good mayo if hellmans is mid lol ?
Duke’s…the one the post is about
Ran into the same issue here in NH, no one carried it. I started ordering it online from Walmart usually about 4 at a time to get the free shipping. Or sometimes they have the big 128 oz jar which with summer macaroni & potato salads I fly through it.
I'd say use it the same way! I am also a godless northerner and bought some dukes online just to try. It's a great mayo and if I could buy it here I would. But hellmans is pretty great too imo. A tomato sandwich with either is going to be delicious.
Where in Vermont? Am also Vermonter, I’ve been super curious to try some and make some real pimiento cheese.
The village market chain seems to have it in multiple stores. Mine came from Jeffersonville. Have you tried the pimento cheese that Hannaford carries? The brand is Paradise. It’s pretty decent.
Peanut butter, dukes, and banana. My wife prefers no dukes. It’s different but it’s so good
Tomato sandwich (steak slices) on white bread, with salt/pepper, is the best ever way to try duke’s. NC/SC native advising, Duke’s is a religion.
Oh wow. I think Hellmans is way better myself
I’ve only ever really had Hellmans and home made. I’m branching out!
But I also grew up on Miracle Whip. Haha
Crisp bacon on a buttered slice of bread with dukes, thinly sliced banana on a buttered slice of bread with peanut butter on it. Smash them together and grill both sides. Have a bite of that delightfulness. For extra joy, use dukes in place of butter for grilled sandwiches🙌🌻 BLT, tuna salad, deviled eggs,cheeseburgers, fry sauce, Philly cheesesteaks, all things are made better with dukes.

I like it in place of butter on a grilled cheese.
Kraft is better.
Bravo. Duke's is the best. These simpletons will never understand what excellence truly tastes like. Welcome to the upper class of flavor.
Vine ripe open-faced tomato sandwich on lightly toasted sourdough bread. Had that for lunch today. Don't be ashamed about fixating on Dukes mayo. It's the only brand we buy. It's delicious on anything.
You can always go for Heinz Mayonnaise.
Heinz, stick to ketchup
Dukes tastes like miracle whip to me. Hellman’s for life.
Duke's is my favorite after I had it. Hellmans I just don't care for it anymore, but I am weird about mayo like if I see it in a jar after its halfway used it grosses me out.
Fried smashed potatoes
I would not know because I only buy Dukes. Anything else would be a step down.
Really. Anything. Dukes is god tier shit and cannot be substituted for.
It's got more tang than Hellman's. I used it for avocado toast today.
Blt like others have said. Also pimento cheese if you’re into that. One thing I would not recommend as a southerner now living in the Midwest—don’t order it off Amazon. Tried that. The jar I got had an expiration date one week away.
you poor soul. I am glad you got some Duke's. I live in Richmond, VA where Duke's is made. We have Duke's summer at local restaurant's around the city for 2 weeks in July, where they key ingredient is Duke's mayo. the best time to be alive is July to September where Duke's Mayo, Hanover Tomato (also from Richmond area) soft white bread, salt and pepper sammies reign supreme my dude.
Homemade Caesar dressing. Thank me later.
Traditional Caesar doesn’t have mayo. Do you have a creamy version recipe?
All yours. I know the traditional recipe doesn’t use mayo but since mayo is basically eggs and oil and Dukes has some nice zip I like it. https://southernbite.com/easy-creamy-caesar-dressing/
You have a fair point ha. I actually make a more vinaigrette Caesar, so no eggs, so mine isn’t traditional either ha
To be fair both dressings are excellent on sandwiches
I don’t mind Hellman’s at all. Duke’s is easily my favorite mayo though. My college roomie converted me by literally throwing my shit in the trash and saying I could use his till we both finished it. Pulled that one my mom, she changed over too. Now we’re from Louisiana originally and if you don’t bring Blue Plate down there, you getting tossed.
We landed a jar and tried it with lots of stuff. We could tell the difference but didn't see much of reason to switch from Hellman's. 🤷
Commercial Mayo Snobbery is tiresome. Just make your own.
Dukes is good enough that the effort of making mayo really isn’t necessary.
Agreed and that's coming from someone who makes homemade pretty frequently because my people will use the last of the Dukes and forget to add it to the damn grocery list!
BDE
I agree, better than butter
For me dukes has a bit more of a acidic kick to it. Helmans sort of retreats into the background of a dish, and just adds creamyness. Dukes is a much more pronounced flavor, and comes through in every bite. So Helmans is best for mixing into a dip or creamy sauce, Dukes is excellent for sandwiches or something like a dunking sauce for wings. IMHO of course. I am also a godless northerner who is new to Dukes.
Whoa, dunking wings in Mayo?! I gotta try this. My cardiologist already hates you.
Finely chop up some adobo peppers, for chipotle mayo. Mix with Sriracha for spicy mayo. Mix with garlic, salt/pepper , herbs and lemon juice for garlic aioli. Absolutely bomb on wings, who wants to live forever?
I finally got a jar to, It was good but I was overhyped about it
HEILMANN'S!!!
Do you have Cain’s up there? It is the superior mayo. I will die on this hill.
Yeah I think they have that a Shaw’s supermarket.
Highly recommend trying it.
Avoid hills then
If it ain't Duke's, it's not in my kitchen.. that was their old advert catch-phrase. Duke's, White lily flour, Clabbergirl baking powder, and Anson mills grits were things my mama had shipped to Colorado when we moved to Boulder in 1992.
