What is your favourite sauce of the big three :

Ketchup - Arguably the most widespread and common sauce used for flavouring your burgers, BBQ and other dishes. Can be considered the normie basic-guy option from others opinions.

Mustard - The yin to Ketchups yang, also widespread in dishes previously mentioned in Ketchup section, either exclusively used or paired with Ketchup combining the flavouring.

Brown Sauce - HP, Daddies etc this sauce is pretty popular in the UK (Where I live) and goes great on chips/fries and prior dish mentioning.

It is also a cardinal rule to be put into bacon sandwiches among the brown sauce community.

What is your favourite sauce to use?

What kind of ketchup? Tomato, banana, mushroom?

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

Rock ketchup, obviously

I don't know what brown sauce is but of the other two definitely mustard. Can we add chilli sauce to the list though? That's what I put on everything.

It's basically ketchup, except it has dates and tamarind in addition to tomato

Outta the 3 mentioned, I gotta pick ketchup, but if we're talking favorite sauces or condiments, gotta give it out to toum. The incredible garlic taste in a spread is to die for and works wonders on everything from veggies to steaks to chicken to bread. Seriously, try making a grilled cheese but 86'ing butter and subbing toum. Fuck, that's amazing.

Shout out to kewpie mayo, tho, the condiment I use irresponsibly on so many things it doesn't belong...

I don't think Germany has this, usually.

For us the three big ones would be Mayo / Ketchup / Mustard I imagine. Of which personally, spiced Mayo always wins out (Miracle Whip). Just too used to it from my childhood. πŸ˜…

Yes, I see it similar. But miracle whip is not mayo and does not count

Mayo mixed with a spicy chili sauce.

Also from the UK and I am, apparently, a normie, basic guy - ketchup all the way.

It's good for you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

It is one of the mother sauces.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

I am disgusted it was not included. I am an utter mayo monster.

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

Yeah it tastes good and also works as a zesty lube too.

Hellman’s for the win.

Spicy mustard. Yellow is acceptable for chili dogs (only).

As a general rule, I don't eat ketchup. My wife and kids love it, but I rarely have it. I normally eat my fries with nothing but some seasoning salt, but thick steak fries demand vinegar.
