    Default Vegannaise is so icky!!

    I have a jar of Follow Your Heart's Vegannaise and when I tried it I found it had a horrible taste and even worse after-taste... really yucky to me.

    But - out there in Vegan Blog Land there are so many delicious-looking recipes for sandwich fillings, potato salads, eggless salads, chickpea salads, etc. that I am so weary of trying!

    My question is: Should I just give FYH Vegannaise another chance or are there other brands that some of you have had better success with? I never was a fan of actual mayonnaise (used Miracle Whip instead), so I'm not concerned with taste-accuracy so much as not gagging when I put the stuff in my mouth... :P Thanks!!

    Either your jar of Vegenaise or your taste buds were off..
    Most people love the stuff.
    ..but what would they do with all the cows?..

    I love Vegennaise. I buy the purple lid. Definitely give it another chance. I speak from experience. The first time I tried it (think it was a green lid) I thought it might be spoiled b/c it really left a bad taste in my mouth. Then for some reason a long time later I tried it again and I loved it. I think it may have been that I hadn't had mayonnaise in so long and the vegennaise tasted so much like it that my taste buds were confused..lol. Having said that, I also buy Nayonnaise b/c my hubby prefers that.

    Just came back from the fridge and found out I am out of vegennaise. Horrors! I think the purple is made with canola oil.

    Purple lid, grape seed, yup me too.

    I once made it a point to try all three lids: green, blue, and purple. Other reviewers may have influenced/biased my decision, my test was not "blind". They did seem to have different amounts of what I would call tanginess, though.

    I think I've tried them all and don't see a difference... wasn't looking for a difference though and wouldn't say I have a professional palette... but vegenaise is YUMMY.

    Veganaise is the best foodstuff ever invented/discovered/stolen from the gods. srsly. BEST. EVER.
    If you didn't like your's, there are two possibilities, and one solution.

    Possibility #1: Something is wrong with you. Perhaps you are ill and can't taste. Or perhaps you don't know what good is when it sits on your tongue.
    Possibility #2: Something is wrong with that specific jar of Veganaise. Perhaps it went sour via transport. Perhaps that batch wasnt' refridgerated correctly. Perhaps some microbes also thought it was tasty.

    Solution: Mail me the jar. I will personally do a random taste taste on it. I will put it randomly on my sandwiches, and occassionally eat it out of the jar without any chasers. I will even put it on vegan un-chicken burgers with a slice of tomatos.

    If the jar is a bad batch, you can confidently expect me to dispose of the substance responsibly. If it is a good batch, I will make sure to let you know.

    Just PM me and I will send you my address. I look forward to good scientific inquiry!

    Indeed.
    I met the FYH man a couple of times and had dinner with his lovely family in LA. I pretty much told him the same thing.
    I still hope to get him to sell it here in the UK.

    I am another Vegennaise fan. I like it much better than I ever liked real Mayo when I was still omni. I did try Nayonaisse, but didn't care for it. I buy the jar with the blue lid, which is made with canola oil. I also like the version made with grape seed.

    It is VERY sad. Plamil is mostly what we get here, it's nice but it's no Vegenaise.

    so is it pronounced 'Veggie-naise'? cos i always thought it was spelt like 'Vegan-naise' which would be a better name.

    The company says that you can pronounce it any way. That's what it said on an attachment that came on the lid of mine.

    Hahaha... thank you for the inspiration, everybody. I suppose I will have to swallow my pride and take another taste. Perhaps I did get a funky jar. Or, because I haven't been vegan for that long, maybe my tastebuds simply have not grown accustomed to creamy soy products yet. To me, it just tasted like all of the soy cheeses that I've tried (definitely not a fan).

    But if there is a consensus out there that Veganaise = deliciousness, I will give it another shot!!

    I would like to try Veganaise but as far as I know, no one is importing it here, yet!

    I make do w/ Plamil. I think at first I thought I wouldn't like it but now I love it.

    PXS, Here's their store locator for all of Georgia, but you can also narrow it down by zip code.

    I see they have a new one with a yellow lid. organic i think.

    Great. Call ahead though to be sure they actually carry the stuff, they may only carry that brand of "cheese", for example, which I can't stand. Talk about icky, it tastes like artificial cheese flavored rubber to me.
