Condiment you couldn't live without?

[CharityLynn]

My husband hates condiments, no really. His Hot dogs, hamburgers, everything he eats plain. Me, I LOVE condiments and just about all of them. So which condiment can you not live without?

Poll coming.

 

[CharityLynn]

I couldn't live without ketchup. But Honey mustard would be a close second.

 

[LUCiD]

Salt because it's the only condiment I really like.

 

[NotUrsula]

Other: Brown sauce. (Closest American-made equivalent would be A1, but only if I have no choice. HP is the real deal.)

This is one of the few holdovers from my childhood of eating mostly British food. HP is a must for breakfast, and a bacon butty just isn't worth the trouble without it.

It's a tie between Hidden Valley Ranch and Texas Pete Hot Sauce.

I am another one who eats hamburgers and hot dogs plain... I can eat a sandwich plain as well.

BUT...

I need ranch with my fries, and hot sauce with my eggs, hashbrowns, and many, many other foods!

I realized I left Ranch Dressing off at the last second and the funny thing is I was dipping my Pizza Roll in ranch dressing at that moment lol

BBQ sauce and ketchup a close 2nd.

BTW, you don't have HP sauce in America!!! Oh, no. It is the best thing to have with a bacon (that is English back bacon!) buttie!!

I picked Ketchup, my second choice would be black pepper. I eat my sandwiches dry so I am happy to live without Mayo, don't like Mustard, and all the others I can live without.

My son is like your husband, doesn't like ANY condiments. But I was the same way most of my life, the only condiment I would eat was mustard, ate mayo for the first time in my 30s.

I voted Ketchup because my son says I put it on EVERYTHING but my sentimental fave is definitely deli mustard!

 

[DMickey28]

I voted salt but that is really more of a seasoning to me rather than a condiment. I can take or leave condiments. I use them on a regular basis but nothing I LOVE.

 

[Thumper_Man]

I picked other. I do ranch with mostly everything. Ketchup would be a close 2nd.

 

[C.Ann]

Have to choose two: salt and sugar..

 

[AshleyW]

Hot sauce for sure! I think I could put it on just about anything.

 

[NotUrsula]

BBQ sauce and ketchup a close 2nd.

BTW, you don't have HP sauce in America!!! Oh, no. It is the best thing to have with a bacon (that is English back bacon!) buttie!!

You can get HP here, but it's imported, and not many Americans keep it around as a standard thing. Restaurants normally do not have it to provide, though they will usually have A1 (which is, of course, not at all the same thing, LOL!)

I like it on just about any savoury breakfast food, but it's especially perfect with bacon or sausages.

 

[Papa Deuce]

I wish the poll was multiple choice.... ketchup, hot sauce, salsa

 

[Pakey]

It would be fresh ground black pepper for me. I'm not emotionally attached to sauce type of condiments.

yes we do.

I bought mine at Wegman's grocery..... you can take it back to England if you like.... minus the 2 TBS I tried and didn't enjoy.

 

[AKL_Megs]

Yeah, they have it at every Meijer store around here!

And I second the ... you can keep it!

I want A-1!!!

 

[N.Bailey]

Mayo is the only thing on the list that I could live without. I can't live without Miracle Whip though (so it's cheating I guess).

I'm not a huge fan of Horseradish, but would hate to have shrimp cocktail without it. Same with hot sauce. I'm not a huge fan, but so long hot wings without it. I only eat both occasionally, but if I knew I couldn't have either again, I would be very sad.

Ketchup would be the hardest for me though.

It's a toss-up between salsa and green chile!
