I buy 4 quarts and usually give one away. Seems to work out, but find someone local to give it to; shipping will kill you otherwise. Seriously, for the $20 deal, over half that HAS to be postage. A gallon of mayo is pretty heavy and it comes in a heavy box. If you have to reship any of it, you'll be on the losing end of the deal.Originally Posted by kc7jty
If you like mayo, you need to try this at least once. SRSLY. It's good stuff. I first heard about it here on our fair shores from Tom, WV6Z. Tried it, and there's no going back. You might be able to make better yourself, but for commercially made mayo, this is top-tier.
I used to work with a really pretty top-heavy blond girl whose New Years resolution was to eat her weight in mayonnaise. Gave her a quart of Duke's and she ALMOST kissed me after trying it.
True story.
Sounds good. Too bad they don't sell it anywhere in California. The closest place is El Paso, TX, which is about ten hours from San Diego.
BTW, here's a page to help find the stuff in stores:

On Edit: My XYL's business landlord makes regular trips to El Paso to visit his mother and will be going again in a couple of weeks. She's going to ask him to pick up a couple of quarts while he's there.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
I looked for it in a Giant in SE PA and they never heard of it.
The Food Lion here that stocks Dukes is a fairly new store. Many of the older FLs here are being rebranded as Bloom. I found out that the grocery manager at the FL here that stocks it used to work in a FL in NC. He added the Dukes to his order list since it was already in the FL system, apparently. He said it is selling well here, and that he thinks some FLs in Southern MD may also be stocking it.
Strangely enough, the Dukes website lists Maryland as a market area, but does not list FL among the stores stocking it. They list Target, of all places, and I am going to have to check that out. They also list Martins, one of which is located close to one of my gun clubs.
A word of caution about buying a lot of stock in a distant store -- have the buyer make sure he or she carefully checks the dates. Nothing would be more heartbreaking than to lean on some poor bastard to go out of his way to buy a few quarts only to find that they won't last long enough to use them. This would not be a worry ordering from the maker, but I have seen many grocery articles stay on the shelf past their expiries. Better safe than...
You knew this was coming.

They'll ship to the lower 48, and it is worth it. :)
Haven't been here in a day or two. Oh, My God, these sound just yummilishious! I love salmon loaf, and I've gotta try these!!!!!
Jesus is coming. Look busy.
