220.8clarification ...BOOKS::BAILEYBLet my inspiration flow ...Thu Dec 05 1991 13:2317
    To clarify ...
    
    For cold cut sandwiches I prefer to use honey mustard.
    
    For hot dogs ... Gouldens mustard (no ketchup please!)
    
    For hamburgers ... mayo 
    
    For french fries ... ketchup
    
    For kielbasa ... honey mustard & grape jelly (heated into a sauce)
    
    For just about anything else, keep the condiments ... I'll take it
    nekkid ...

    So what's the difference between Ketchup and Catsup??  Hmmm??
    
    I like all sorts of weird mustards.
220.11SKYLRK::TINGGive Peace a Chance!!!Thu Dec 05 1991 14:274
Depends on the application.  Oh, did someone say that already??  ;-)

220.12ESGWST::MIRASSOUSo... what DOES it all mean?Thu Dec 05 1991 14:404
    Usually mustard, especially brown or hunny.  Sometimes catsup, too.
    Mayonaise I affectionately refer to as "snail-snot", and avoid as much
    as possible, though I admit it's much preferable to Miracle Whip, or
    whatever the imitation mayo is...
220.13CLOSUS::BARNESThu Dec 05 1991 14:475
    try mayo on french fries, the Germans do!
    
    as for the "depends on the application" discussion...I prefer the light
    oils from the health food store..no additives PLEASE!!! %^)

220.14No, it's not San Pedro...FSDEV::DHENRYMy resume is ready. Want .PS or .LN03?Thu Dec 05 1991 15:194
    Salsa also makes a decent condiment, low in fat, salt and sugar.  I've
    got some cactus salsa at home, sans needles of course.

220.15EZRIDR::SIEGELThe revolution wil not be televisedThu Dec 05 1991 15:268
I just finished a roast beef sandwich with swiss and Grey Poupon dijon mustard.

Grey Poupon is the only mustard I've bought since living here.  But I like a
good deli/brown mustard and honey mustard is tasty, too.

I never use ketchup at home, either.  It's usually A-1 sauce for me.

    preference: Baby oil
    							/Bill
    
220.19CLOSUS::BARNESThu Dec 05 1991 17:234
    NO! baby oil has additives that could , er , make certain areas very
    sensitive ifn yer a sensitive person...as mentioned before, stick (no
    pun) to light oils from the health food stores.

Randy is right, or so I've been told.  :-)

By the way, I knew I could count on you people to take off on a discussion
based around condiments (even though I can't spell Ketchup! :-).  I love 
this file!!!!  :-) :-)

220.22BCSE::ABBOTFri Dec 06 1991 11:0715
    Cheese is essential to life.  So is garlic.  Oh yeah, beer too.
    
    The only thing I use ketchup for these days is fries (I like those
    spicy ones), and you need a little to make pad thai.  My mother got me
    into the custom of mustard in grilled cheese, though lots of people
    think it's gross.
    
    One more condiment: tartar sauce.  Can't have fish or fried clams
    without it.
    
    Mayo I think is gross.  I use it when I occasionally make potato salad
    or tuna salad, but even then I treat it like it's poisonous.
    
    Scott
    
220.23AWECIM::RUSSOFri Dec 06 1991 11:274
    
    But isn't tartar sauce made with mayo??
    
    Dave
220.24VMPIRE::CLARKsleep in the starsFri Dec 06 1991 11:283
mayo & relish

Scott, you're poisoning yourself!  ;^)
220.25BCSE::ABBOTFri Dec 06 1991 13:316
    I don't mind mayo if it's mixed in things (tuna, potato salad, etc),
    it's just mayo by itself that's yucky.  I get Cains tarter sauce
    because it has a higher pickle to mayo ratio.

220.26SPICE::PECKARShadow skiing the apocalypseFri Dec 06 1991 15:2213
Fog's Condiment Rule Number One..

	For whatever food you are eating, choose the condiment which
	maxmizes sugar content while minimizing the Pffeh effect�.


	�Pffeh effect:

	A reaction to a particularly distasteful combination of foods,
	characterized by toungue thrusts, exclaimations such as "Bloooeeeiie",
	and facial muscles contortions which resemble those of a hampster 
	while he is being consumed by a boa constrictor.
220.27just say "pffeh"... :^)ROULET::DWESTDont Overlook Something ExtraordinaryFri Dec 06 1991 15:424
    you know, i have bee using the word Pffeh for some time now, but it was
    only today that i learned the proper spelling! :^)

    Carribean HOT sauce!
    
    (mustard based, with I-don't-know-what-else, really HOT and wonderful,
     add to just about anything that needs spicing up)
220.31POMMEREY SMOKES POUPON!EMMI::SYMONDSFri May 15 1992 14:2111
    
    	Mustard rules... My favorite kind is Pommerey!  It comes in those
        kindof heavy duty stone-like jugs with a plug type top, not a screw
        on thing... First class, down home, stuff.  Its made from
    	the mustard seed, a touch of wine (No not whine) and other things
    	I don't recall....  It smoke the doors off of thos Grey Poupon
    	people, and you don't get accused of being a snob when you use it!
    
        As to the Mustard/Mayo battle, I often mix about 50/50 Pommerey and
        Helmanns to make a sauce for all sorts of things - steak marinade,
        ...  sh*t got a meetin, got to break this thought - I hate that...
