Salt? You put it everywhere and in ancient times was literally used as "salary" for workers.

[-] Vlhacs@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

Hence the term "worth your salt".

P.S. I just made that up, I have no idea if it's true.

oh no there are other answers other than this… how silly :(

[-] SeaOtter@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Dijon, grainy, honey, yellow, brown, spicy, Coleman’s, German… so many mustards to chose from.

[-] dave_baksh@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Mayonnaise because it goes with everything. You can add flavour to mayonnaise. It's the most versatile of the condiments.

[-] muddybulldog@mylemmy.win 7 points 1 year ago

Respectfully disagree. Mustard on a pretzel, yay! Mayo on a pretzel, yugh!

Mustard + mayo on a pretzel is slept on.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Excellent with fries.

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

This is the correct answer, but not because it tastes great by itself, rather it's because it's the base of most other dips, spreads, sauses, and aiolis.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Mayonnaise.

It's utilitarian as fuck and goes on or with everything. Think of every other condiment listed here and think what you usually use it on. Guarantee it's also got mayo or even has mayo in the condiment.

[-] CoderKat@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Mayo and mustard are definitely what came to mind for me. And if the two, mayo is far more useful. Sandwiches of every kind, it's the base for numerous spreads and dips, and it even goes great on stuff like sushi. You can mix it with so many things to make unique and interesting sauces. Eg, I use chipolte and garlic mayo for many sandwiches I make (and sandwich like things such as wraps). Sriracha mayo is a classic in sushi. It's usually the basis of a good fry sauce.

BBQ sauce. Sweet baby rays if you are doing store bought.

[-] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

My preferred brand. The sugar free one is great.

[-] TurnItOff_OnAgain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fun fact, they (at least in my area) call that one just Baby Rays, not Sweet Baby Rays.

Throw in a bit of vinegar and chopped pickles and you got yourself not one 1 but 1000 islands!

1 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup yellow onion, minced

2 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Awesome on pizza.

[-] Brewski@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Honey mustard

[-] dosesingko@dzle125.stream 5 points 1 year ago
[-] metasyntactic@infosec.pub 5 points 1 year ago

Ketchup! It’s also a vegetable.

[-] GCanuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] TurnItOff_OnAgain@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's what plants crave.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

Pickled onions.

Chilli sauce

[-] Kururin@talk.kururin.tech 3 points 1 year ago
[-] Finkler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

HP Sauce

End of conversation ;)

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Sriracha chili garlic sauce, the chunky one

[-] Acid@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Chilli sauce, or I could just say just any hot sauce in general so Chilli/Pepper sauce because it works on practically everything.

Hot sauce, something sweet with mango or pineapple and hot enough to get a sweat on.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Malt vinegar. Fight me.

[-] BodePlotHole@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[-] VirtualBort@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 1 year ago

Tonkatsu Sauce hands down

[-] troydowling@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Za'atar, or sambal oelek.

[-] Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago
[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago

I also choose this guy's dad's sauce

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ginger, because it is also very healthy

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago
[-] happilybitchycowboy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Gotta step out on a limb and add sweet and sour sauce

[-] R4sjd1@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Andalousesaus. The Belgian version. NOT the Dutch one!

[-] Jack_of_all_derps@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's it because you can't trust the Dutch?

[-] R4sjd1@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

In general probably true, but in this specific case the recipe is just different. Belgian Andalouse is spicier and less sweet.

[-] Jack_of_all_derps@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Look at what you went ahead and did; made me learn something when I was just trying to make a joke.

But seriously, super interesting and appreciate the serious reply!

[-] motsu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Secret aardvark. Look it up, let the reviews convince you, buy a bottle online, and reply in a week when you try it. You only need a small drop each bite, so the bottle will last. Its also fairly thick so you dont end up with a bunch of wasted sauce

[-] shackleford@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Gulden's spicy brown mustard. By FAR.
