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 :)

I'm totally fine with the three of the.

What I'm eating will determine which two of those I am combining together. Potentially all three, in some cases. But there are also times when all the of those are better left out, in favor of barbecue sauce.

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.

Mustard obviously. It's objectively the least disgusting and has the most use cases.

[–] hightrix 1 points 1 year ago

Ketchup for potatoes and some meats. Mustard for sausages and some other meats. Mayo for the trash can.

Do I get to know what I’m choosing it for?

Mayo is best for creating a slippery surface. Mustard stings the most in the eyes, and ketchup allows me to play dead by mimicking blood.

So I need to know the context to know what kind of Jason Bourne scenario my condiment is for.

Mustard's my choice. Mayo leaves a dirty mouth feel/taste until I can brush my teeth again, good to cook with though. Ketchup is what happens when marketing and focus groups fix mustard, good of Canadians to help find it’s purpose.

Mayo on burgers Mustard on fries Ketchup on onion rings or steak if it's over done.

Probably mayo, but I need to know on what.

Ketchup is sugar with tomato. Something you feed little children. Mustard had its place but Mayo for most uses of course.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ketchup at minimum is tomato and vinegar.
