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?

Spicy brown mustard, bonus if it's whole grain. Yellow mustard has its uses but is a sad excuse for mustard.

Ketchup is gross, it's so fucking sweet. If I wanted a sweet topping I'd use honey. It's like pouring corn syrup on your food.

Hot sauce is the real king seasoning

You nailed Ketchup.

Also, mayonnaise is fucking disgusting. I worked at subway in high school and we had to install wide-nozzle tubes on our mayo dispensers because the morbidly obese customers would say things like "I don't want to be able to see the sandwich, just bury it in mayo" and it would hold up the sandwich line.

Let's get down to it: top 3 hot sauces? I go Valentinas, green Tabasco, sriracha. Honorable mention, gochujang, tapatio

Valentina's for a vinegary sauce. Tabasco Ghost Pepper for a kick on a budget (and easy to find). Otherwise I prefer local sauces. Right now I'm enjoying PSP Brooklyn's Smoked Whiskey Hibiscus

Another favorite is szechuan chili crisp
