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

[–] Junkers_Klunker@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I guess stone ground couldn’t 🕶️ cut the mustard

Fuck mayo, marry mustard, kill ketchup.

[–] Tedrow@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mustard. Get that other shit out of here.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

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

[–] _chris@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Mix them.

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

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] neidu2@feddit.nl 3 points 11 months ago

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

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.

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.

[–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 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!

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

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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?

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

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.

[–] Critical_Insight@feddit.uk 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Depends entirely on what I'm putting it on

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] TheHottub@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago
[–] Mago@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

For steak/pork and fries - béarnaise

[–] LemmySoloHer@lemmy.world 4 points 11 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.

[–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Me, I do. With pickled jalapeño and cheese.

[–] BoastfulDaedra@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 11 months ago

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

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 points 11 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

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

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 11 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.

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Mayo + mustard

[–] otherbarry@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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 :)

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

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Can I eliminate one from existence? If yes destroy mayo

[–] stackPeek@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Mayo + ketchup

[–] baruchin@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I'm totally fine with the three of the.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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...
