I agree that it matters what it goes on, but the correct answer is mustard regardless.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (2 children)

If it is Dijon, otherwise mustard can go to hell.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I guess stone ground couldn’t 🕶️ cut the mustard

Fuck mayo, marry mustard, kill ketchup.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Mustard. Get that other shit out of here.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Never give up. Never surrender! MUSTARD!!!!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Mix them.

Equal parts mayo and mustard, about half that of ketchup, and you got a delicious fry sauce.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Add a little minced onion in there with a little garlic powder and you've got a fire burger spread

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you've got a stew going.

I'm with you. Ketchup on a sandwich is a no-go (to most people), but the other two belong. A hot dog could use ketchup and mustard, but not mayonnaise. And a burger could use all 3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

A hotdog is a sandwich.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Mayonnaise can be a very interesting addition to many dishes, depending on how it's made. There are very unnusual mayonnaise available.

Ketchup, I'll add if I need some extra moisture or added flavour to an otherwise dry food. Mustard for the bitterness and pickle like fresh kick.

It really depends what is being had.

Some foods receiving any sauce is borderline a crime.

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Not Or. And.

Fries with a mustard mayo mix, or a mayo ketchup mix, or a ketchup mustard mix, or a mix of all 3, are all fantastic.

When I do burgers at home, I do a mustard mayo mix on the bottom bun (followed by lettuce and tomato slices), and a ketchup on the top bun.

All 3 three bring something to the table. It the variety and proportions that give you so much flexibility in creating amazing food.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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!

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.

Depends what it's on, they're completely non-interchangeable.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

Mayo+ketchup (fry sauce) for fries. Ketchup+mustard for hot dogs. All three for burgers.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Depends entirely on what I'm putting it on

Ketchup is out from the start. Which leaves mayonnaise and mustard. Which, in turn, depend on the occasion.

Belgian fries with mustard would be as bad as bratwurst with mayonnaise...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Can I eliminate one from existence? If yes destroy mayo

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

For steak/pork and fries - béarnaise

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Mayo, mayo, mayo, mayo. I'd eat mayo flavored icecream if only the frozen dairy industry weren't so cowardly

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If you're wondering who puts mayo on a hotdog, the answer is "probably one of your brothers," according to Clint Barton.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Me, I do. With pickled jalapeño and cheese.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

Desert island? Mayo. I mean it's damned near a complete food.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I put ketchup on everything.

Eggs, sausage, grilled cheese, fries, hash browns (pretty much every type of potatoes except baked or mashed), cheeseburgers, baked beans, hot dogs, corn dogs.

There's more I just can't think of them atm.

I fuckin love ketchup and will die on the ketchup hill

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Purely condiments, ketchup please. I never use the other two. As cooking ingredients through... Mustard is indispensable. Overall I use a lot more mustard (seed, wholegrain, and Dijon) than any condiment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

For a murder weapon? Ketchup, I'd freeze it into a knife and then escape while everyone thinks the blood is just more ketchup.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Mayo + mustard

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago
[–] otherbarry 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Rarely/never ketchup. I only eat that stuff if a friend or someone already put it on a plate/dish being served to me without asking first.

Mayo & mustard are both awesome depending on what they're being put on. And sometimes they team up & can be used together e.g. they work well together in tuna.

PS - You should throw butter in the competition, a lot of people would vote for that over mayo :)
