Per Websters, your condiment definition is too narrow, sir.

What a great, great thread.


I saw ginger mentioned. I hate ginger. I call it Va-Ginger because the folds folds..well, you get the point. It is vaginger without the color because Bunnicula got ahold of it.

At any rate, Vaginger is DISGUSTING. Hate that crap near my sushi. But I prefer a ton of wasabi in my soy sauce.

I mentioned bacon bits specifically. I consider it a condiment.

Keep the ketchup for the fries or tots.

I used to hate mayo and only ate Miracle Whip. Buuuut, I'm digging the taste of Light Mayo which is most def NOT crap. I'd rather have that light mayo from subway than any other kind on the planet.

Ketchup is ok on fries, burgers, onion rings and tots. Mustard for everything else including hot dogs, nuggets, corn dogs, brats, etc.


Now that you mention it, I think a ham sammich dipped in thousand island would be tasty. If you want to make me feel sick, you should have used Green Goddess as your example of salad dressing sammich disgustorama.

Only the real bacon ones though...those crunchy red things are frightening and I think they come from martian soil.

Are bacon bits condiments because they are rarely bacon?

To me, upon reflection, bacon is just meat. Like ham or turkey.

Putting A1 sauce on a steak should be grounds for getting you drawn and quartered, shot in each quarter and ground up into the ingredients for a new bottle of A1 sauce.


(it is a good tool for marinading vegetables, however, if mixed just a little in with some italian dressing. Also good with those thick french fries.)

Ya, well you're a piece of Vaginger then.

A1 is good for steaks that are overcooked. A steak worth eating should be able to be prepared with only salt and pepper.

Someone on American Eats called their brats K-17. No ketchup for those over 17. I thought that was great...ketchup on brats should never even be a thought.

Right up there with A1 on the steak.

Brats just need mustard and maybe grilled onions.

Nope. Not at all. Only allow A1 to slide if it is on a burger, and not a good burger either.

Just don't eat crappy steaks. I stand firm on this.

I love gray salt. A bit expensive but it goes well with pasta and pizza. Soo good. Almost time for dinner.
