      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

        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.

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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
