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

[–] Junkers_Klunker@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] jopepa@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I guess stone ground couldn’t 🕶️ cut the mustard

Fuck mayo, marry mustard, kill ketchup.

[–] Tedrow@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Mustard. Get that other shit out of here.

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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

[–] _chris@lemmy.world 17 points 10 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 7 points 10 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 5 points 10 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

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

A hotdog is a sandwich.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 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.

[–] bitwaba@lemmy.world 13 points 10 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.

[–] ghost_towels@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago (2 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.

[–] anothermember@lemmy.zip 9 points 10 months ago

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

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (4 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.

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...

[–] Mago@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

For steak/pork and fries - béarnaise

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Can I eliminate one from existence? If yes destroy mayo

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

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 10 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

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 4 points 10 months ago

Me, I do. With pickled jalapeño and cheese.

[–] Wilzax@lemmy.world 4 points 10 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.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 3 points 10 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 10 months ago

Mayo + mustard

[–] key@lemmy.keychat.org 3 points 10 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.

Mayo, mustard, and ketchup

[–] otherbarry@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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 :)
