Desert island? Mayo. I mean it’s damned near a complete food.
here we put ketchup on pizza until it’s completely covered by it. something like this except you can’t even see the toppings and cheese just ketchup
I’m totally fine with the three of the.
Mayo + ketchup
Mustard obviously. It’s objectively the least disgusting and has the most use cases.
Probably mayo, but I need to know on what.
Mayo+ketchup (fry sauce) for fries. Ketchup+mustard for hot dogs. All three for burgers.
Horseradish.
cough Pardon me, but it’s pronounced “horshradish”. /s
Man, just that word brings back memories of Hardees. Along with the usual red and yellow sauces, they had a third sauce…a white one. Me, thinking it was mayo, loaded up two of those little white paper cups and sat down with my burger and curly fries.
I should preface by mentioning that I love me some crispy curly fries with gobs of mayo…took one massive dip followed by an expectant bite and I’m like 90% positive that my face showed the entire range of reactions starting from “yo, wtf is in my mouth?”, moving along to “this is NOT mayo!”, detouring briefly to “what kind of sadist fucks with the mayo container”, reaching “what is this spicy orgy in my mouth?!”, and shortly after landing on a new all time favourite dipping sauce.
Love that horseradish.
Me too! I loved Hardee’s when I was a kid. There isn’t one near me now (Canada) so that sucks. Horseradish is such a great flavour. I grew some last year, time to grate and recreate!
Same boat/canoe here…can’t find a Hardees in my corner of Canada. Growing it is an interesting idea, I might just follow suit!
Definitely do! It’s super easy to grow. It likes to spread something fierce though so I’ve done mine in a big pot. Seems to be doing ok.
Grilled sausage in the forest: mustard.
On my pasta earlier this week: ketchup.
On my sandwich this morning: Mayo.
There is a time and place for everything.
What about grilled sausage on a pier looking out to the horizon in a country that starts with a C? I just am super curious about that specific case, you know?
Sausage? In that scenario id go for a steak and fries, in which case a good pepersauce and mayo.
But for the sausage? Id go with ketchup
Ketchup on pasta?!
It’s a Filipino thing
Mustard. It’s more versatile. Besides the obvious condiment uses, it’s also a useful ingredient in cooking, can alleviate muscle cramps (eaten), helps with bee or wasp stings (topical), and can be used as a dye.
Mustard is the only one I feel like I would miss. Mayo is rarely needed anywhere greek yoghurt wouldn’t work and ketchup isn’t my cup of tea.
Ketchup
Miracle whip. Only.
A 75/25 Ranch/Sriracha aioli
All of these have more variety and nuance then you might think, at least based on what major US grocers carry.
Mustard comes in a ton of varieties, from smooth to course to whole-grain, or with extra flavors like horseradish or cayenne or champagne. I’ve even heard of bourbon and curry mustards.
Ketchup too is an entire category and not beholden to tomatoes. You can use all kinds of fruits like mango or golden berries as your base, add sauteed garlic and onions, then blend it up with some brown sugar and vinegar for a mighty fine condiment.
And homemade mayonnaise is just on another level. It’s pretty simple to make, but it doesn’t stay fresh long. Otherwise try the Polish Winiary brand, it’s 90% as good, especially on something like sweet potato fries. Mayo is also the basis for aoli and nearly every picnic/potluck “salad” (e.g. potato salad, broccoli bacon salad, etc). Stop buying the Kraft and Hellman’s crap, those are mostly flavorless soybean oil.
