Ketchup or Mustard?
« on: March 22, 2008, 09:42:11 pm »
Heya,

Which of these classic condiments do you prefer?

For me, mustard is probably my all-time favorite condiment, while I don't much like ketchup.

I've learned to like the fancy dark mustards, but I usually get mayo, though it sorta depends...if I'm having a hot dog, it either needs mayo and sweet relish OR mustard and ketchup.  I've also learned to dip my fries in mayo, Euro-style, so I'm not having much in the way of ketchup these days.

Speaking of condiments, though, I love them, especially exotic hot sauces or spices you get served with Thai or Indian...

My refrigerator has little food, but lots of condiments.

I have mustard, dark mustard, dijon mustard, coarse ground mustard, mayonnaise, wasabi mayonnaise, dijonnaise, chipotle mayonnaise, cocktail sauce, ketchup, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, horseradish sauce, A-1 steak sauce, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, remoulade sauce, cranberry horseradish sauce, ranch dressing, caesar dressing, jalapeno ranch dressing, balsamic vinegar, red wine vinegar and aioli.

So I picked 'other'.   ;D

I'm curious about Swedish pea soup with mustard.  I've never had that before, but it sounds good.  Do you have a recipe?

I think mustard is good on just about everything... but one of the best things, in my opinion, is grainy mustard on soft pretzels (German-style).  So good!  :P :)

I'll get back to you with the peasoup recipe when I get home on Wednesday!! I'm visiting my daughter now. I agree with you, grainy mustard id better than the sort that looks like baby-poo..... ::)

I'm longing for a filet-o-fish from Mac-Do, unfortunately we don't have any MD where I live anymore.... :(....never tried it with ketchup though......I'll try  :P

I'll try some mustard in my mashed potatoes later, I just never thought about that.

But until I met DL, I had never thought about adding salt and black pepper directly into a glob of ketchup and then dipping my french fries into them. Instead of sprinkling the spices and later the ketchup over the french fries directly.

I have lead a sheltered life.  :laugh:
