Mayonnaise shouldn't even been on the list. It not just a condiment- it is a cooking ingredient on thousands of dishes. People aren't buying $2 billion dollars worth to put on their turkey sandwich and fries- their buying it by the gallon to make potato salad.

Making your own mayo is easy, I need to do this sometime. Although Hellman's is pretty close to perfect for cold cut sandwiches.
 
I went to the Maille store while in Paris because it's hard to find good mustard in the states sometimes. I bought a selection of mustards for some obscene price like 40 Euros.

Worth every penny. Mustard is the king of condiments.

Ugh, not surprised but I'm not at all a mayo fan. Mustard and hot sauce would be at the top in my perfect world, followed closely by horseradish/wasabi, then ketchup on down, with mayo being a distant last.

When I lived in Munich, there was a tasty fries joint called Pommes-Freunde (I assume they still have them) that had something like thirty different mayo blends for the fries. It's such a better idea than ketchup, and I'm not even a big mayo fan. My favorite was the spicy Samurai sauce.

This is what a hot dog is supposed to look like. Ketchup is for kids that weren't raised right.



i won't defend deep dish because I only like it from Lou Malnati's and Pequod's, but I will defend the chicago dog till the day I die!

Just had one for lunch...except I take off the sport peppers and add sauerkraut. I love spicy food and they aren't spicy, but for some reason, the stomach does not want sport peppers. shame, cause i love pickled stuff too. and giardinera isn't a problem...even though the peppers in them are sport peppers, I think. I dunno!

The mayo hate is silly. What else can you use to make a decent tuna salad? No other condiment does the job properly.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Guacamole is king. And a preemptive GTFO for "It's a dip." Yes, it's often used as a dip. So are ketchup and mayo.
Of the stuff that ranked, BBQ easily.

Advice on getting Belgian style mayo if you live in the usa? I'd like to give it a whirl since people speak so highly of it.

If you can find it, be sure to try it with pomme frites and not the subpar imitation that are french fries.

Just because other lesser condiments aren't as versatile is not a good reason for disqualification.

That's not a hotdog. That's a pretentious twat-sandwhich. Hotdogs are meant to have ketchup on them. It's as simple as that.

No. They aren't. The President of the United States and the actual professional group that represents the sausage makers that make hot dogs, all, disagree with you. But, it's okay if you want to eat bad food. People eat bad food everyday.
 
As a US citizen & white male this is disappointing.
Will we never move past these stereotypes?

Mayonnaise is disgusting. I love mustard though.

I assume somebody has provided answers somewhere in this thread, but I don't get how mayo can be number one.

What do you use mayo on other than sandwiches/burgers? I seriously don't use it on anything else and haven't seen it used for anything else except "fancy sauce" in Step Brothers.

I mostly eat it with fries.

Interesting. Almost everybody I've eaten fries with eats them plain, with ketchup, or with gravy. Once I saw somebody use honey mustard, and I tried it myself to good results. I'll have to try mayo some time with my fries, maybe I've been missing out all my life.

Macaroni salad, potato salad, deviled eggs, and various dips.

I didn't think of non lettuce salads, I guess that's a decent amount of mayo usage right there.


It's crazy how much sauce culture differs from one place to the next.

Why should I give a shit what the president of your country says about hot dogs? He's not some respected expert on these things lol. Plus a "professional group that represents the sausage makers"? Give me a fucking break haha.

By the way, a hot dog is bad food. Sorry. The best ones are from street vendors, not fancy restaurants and every single one of them serve ketchup.

That picture you posted looked disgusting.

You're fighting a losing battle, sir.

There actually is a National Hot Dog & Sausage Council here, hehe.

Intimidated? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

I just find it hilarious that this guy is trying to polish a turd by making hotdogs seem like some gourmet meal that absolutely cannot have particular condiments on it.

He even brought up the president haha.

Hot dogs are not bad foods. You get a good 100% beef hot dog in a natural casing with a nice garlic flavor and it's fantastic. Based on the information at hand you're not American. Hot Dogs are an American invention and should not be served with ketchup. And yes, the professional group of hot dog makers (it's a thing: http://www.hot-dog.org/ht/d/sp/i/38617/pid/38617) you do not put it on a hot dog.

Would you put ketchup on sushi?
