If there can be only one, then let it be Cajun Hot Sauce!

Re: The Greatest Condiment
There are so many good condiments with such varied purposes that it is hard to choose just one.
I love Tabasco and other Louisiana-style hot sauces. I love mustards of all shades and degrees of spice. Soy sauce? I couldn't live without it, nor would I dare to try. And ketchup? Would good would french fries be were there no smashed tomatoes on the table?
But mayonnaise is the king. Were it not for mayonnaise, there would be no pimiento cheese, no tuna salad, and no comeback sauce. Mayonnaise is the greatest condiment.

Ketchup & Mustard. They usually can't be separated.

Re: The Greatest Condiment
Ketchup has to be king.
Miracle Whip is pretty good.
Then there's Franks RedHot.
And raspberry jam. Mmmmmm.
And Cheez Whiz on a BLT is good too.

This may be restricted to UK diets, but for years since I was a boy I've enjoyed something called 'Piccalilli', a kind of rough chutney, yellow in colour, comprising cauliflower, gherkin, onion and and other vegetables. Mustard and vinegar combine it all together plus some sugar if required. Delicious with cold meats and cheeses.

Re: The Greatest Condiment
Hot Russian or Polish mustard would have to be my pick, closely followed by Tabasco.

Re: The Greatest Condiment
As Del often points out, it is our duty to sometimes speak unpleasant truths. Perhaps I was over rough, however, the gentleman spelled the word "catsup," which suggests, if not actual adherence to, at least tolerance of the great Hunts-ian Heresy. Everyone knows the truly orthodox Catholic ketchup is made by Heinz as the Heinz family are very prominent local Catholics.Cleon wrote:Hahaha.

Re: The Greatest Condiment
I'm surprised we're even having this discussion. Ketchup is the greatest condiment. It's THE core belief every meat eater should agree on. Everything else - no matter how good - is secondary to ketchup.

Re: The Greatest Condiment
HP Sauce (Houses of Parliament, with an image of said institution on the bottle) was and is a staple for me. Thick, brown in colour, spicy, sweet and tangy. Perfect with sausages, bacon and eggs. Not so great with a Sunday Roast.
Apology here - ketchup is not quite my thing. Only rarely do I indulge and only on burgers, which I have equally as rarely.
There is another UK brown sauce, Daddies Sauce, similar to the HP, I think, but I'm not really sure as HP clearly has my vote.
