Whats the worst condiment?

I know people who hate mustard (I was one of them as a kid) and also have friends who hate ketchup. I’m not a big fan of ketchup myself and only use it for a few things- to dip grilled cheese, or fries, or to make Mexican style shrimp cocktail with. I know some on here hate mayo.

Ketchup

Ketchup is acceptable with fried potatoes. It should not be used on ANYTHING else.

Tabasco sauce for the win.

I clicked Ranch because I hate it but Horseradish is the worst.

Ranch is only acceptable if there's no blue cheese dressing.

The main ingredient in most American supermarket ketchup is corn syrup.

Relish is the only one listed I do not eat, although I don't "get" the ranch love.

Worcestershire sauce because it has vile anchovies in it.

No idea what brown sauce is, but it sounds questionable.

When is Thousand Island used as a condiment?

Yes, R21, pretty much. Now I'm having a craving for sirloin tips!

I love anchovies, R19, in salads and on pizza.

A-1 or any steak sauce I've tried - They were all vile. I must be missing something.

Anchovies are great r22. They are a secret weapon in the kitchen when you need some umami, add a couple anchovies when you are cooking a lot of different savory dishes and it will amp up the flavor.

by Anonymousreply 24December 5, 2023 4:10 AM

Anchovies aren’t condiments, stick to the thread subject.

OK, I googled Thousand Island and it's apparently similar to a remoulade for seafood dishes. I've never tried it because I make my own.

R20 they use thousand or its variants as burger sauce, chicken finger sauce, French fries 🍟 sauce, etc.

Ranch can be really nasty/delicious depending. I never order it because I never know if I'm going to get house made ranch or the crap that 90% of them use.

Ketchup I have no use for anymore.

by Anonymousreply 32December 5, 2023 5:37 AM

I like them all, at different times, but I can probably do without Ranch. What about the condiments we can't do without? I can't exist without Coriander Chutney, which I need to order from Amazon to get my fix.

Yeah, the Big Mac "special sauce" is Thousand Island dressing.

I voted barbecue sauce just because it's a little too sweet and burnt tasting even though I still like it and will eat it.

by Anonymousreply 36December 5, 2023 6:46 AM

I use ketchup on French fries, honey mustard on chicken tenders (yes, I have baby tastes), keep Pickapeppa sauce on hand, and use Ken's buttermilk ranch dressing as a vegetable dip. I keep mustard around for hot dogs. And I think that's it. An old friend got me to try Durkee's sandwich spread. It's great, but I rarely eat sandwiches now.

R37, Durkee's is great but a little hard to find.

Call me an elitist snob but I like Dijon mustard but don’t like to bright yellow American stuff like French’s.

My parents used to love the Durkee’s sauce. Looking at the ingredient list it’s pretty much a mayo-mustard hybrid. For those who don’t like the hassle or understand the science of mixing two things together once upon a time Hellmann’s made Dijonnaise.

IMO, they're 2 totally different things. I like French's on some things. It's very vinegary, which is nice, for some things.

OP is whitebread with milquetoast tastes who lists a bunch of bland salad dressings as "condiments", which they are in his milieu.

by Anonymousreply 45December 5, 2023 4:30 PM

Almost every culture has chili-based condiments. Many are great. Also many use a variety of vinegar, and the French have verjus. Also missing are the fish-based sauces, the fruit based condiments (lingonberry, Cumberland, etc. - which Americans only countenance 1x a year), all the chutneys, and the creamy garlic condiments, and the bean-based ones. Vegemite or marmite has a form in many cultures and yes it's gross.

Of the ones listed, brown sauce is the only one I never use.

Overall Marmite probably wins.

Patum Peperium is very much an acquired taste.

I don't eat 'ballpark franks,' R54. (Your transparent attempt to goad a response out of me where R52 failed is noted.)

I use Eckrich Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage, with Spicy Brown Mustard, finely diced white onions, Dixieland Hot Chow-Chow, Dill Relish, ketchup, topped with chili and shredded cheese. (Hotdogs have come up here nearly as often as meatloaf, and I've stated my boundaries before, more than once.)

That OG Hidden Valley Ranch, made exactly like the package reads, is really quite good on raw vegetables. I would never order ranch out though, it comes in gallon jugs and maybe passes a sniff test.

When I was a kid, Durkee's was a MUST-HAVE in our house during the holidays, for leftover turkey sandwiches. (Thanksgiving & Christmas Eve). My father also swore by it for his two "specialties" (read: the only two things he knew how to make) -- deviled eggs & tuna salad sandwiches. Yuck & double-yuck! I just took his word for it that it made those things better. (people really did love his deviled eggs)

Anyway....Durkee's is NOT as good as it was back in the 1970s-80s-early 90s! I don't know if it was the switch to soybean oil in the ingredients or what? I remembering it being more like a honey-mustard + mayo spread (in terms of its consistency & flavor) when I was kid.

The worst condiment is horseradish sauce, btw.

by Anonymousreply 70December 9, 2023 4:48 PM

We always have prime rib on NYE. If I don't have horseradish on the table, people in our family freak the hell out. I offer it up plain - straight and hot, creamed (lots of sour cream and white pepper), and creamed with only a small amount of sour cream. If I served the prime rib with no horseradish I do believe I'd be tarred and feathered, yes it's that important. Back in the olden days my mom would make her own special creamed horseradish using real whipped cream (NO sour cream). What does everyone think?. Should I drag out Mom's old recipe that might be forgotten? It was light and fluffy.
