What about salsa, and pickle relish, and horseradish? What about barbecue sauce and Thousand Island? I have had all of those on sandwiches and other foodstuffs.
This is not an equal-opportunity condiment poll here, Ro. If you want to know people's opinions on tartar sauce, dijonnaise, or wasabi duck cream, start your own freakin' poll!
. . . JESUS, that was totally unnecessary, huh? Sorry, too much caffeine this afternoon. :) OK, we can start an informal poll, I guess. My votes:
Salsa: preferred as a dip, but acceptable on some kinds of sandwiches -- as long as cilantro isn't involved. When did it become law that all salsa must have cilantro in it? I'm tired of it; let's outlaw it.
Pickle relish: I used to eat this with mustard on all sorts of sandwiches, but I don't touch the stuff anymore. Except occasionally on a hot dog. Not unspeakably evil, but not particularly high-class.
Horseradish: a very underrated condiment, excellent in cocktail sauce and other preparations, as long as no jism-like glop (mayonnaise) is involved.
Tartar sauce: unbelievably toxic, especially if you watch it sit at room temperature for a while; it soon begins rebelling against itself and separating into its component parts. Just imagine this occurring within your intestinal tract and bloodstream.
Barbecue sauce: totally depends on the variety. Your everyday grocery-store brand can go straight to hell, but a truly fine bbq sauce is a wonder to behold. In my fridge I have a half-gallon container of sauce from Sonny's BBQ in Starkville, MS, that would make you slap yer grandmaw.
Thousand Island: see tartar sauce. Despicable, deadly, and very unpleasant to look at.
Dijonnaise: a perverse invention from the Hellmann's criminal mind. They try to fool me with the "dijon" prefix, but I'll not be duped; that "naise" suffix can only mean jism-like glop.
I don't like cilantro, either. I'd like to slap my grandmaw, I don't need bbq sauce as an excuse. I'm sorry you don't like mayo, your mamma must have been frightened by a blue plate while she was pregnant with you.
I will not eat seafood without tartar sauce. Well, at least not fried seafood. Tartar sauce and Tabasco, which you also forgot in your bigoted stinkin' condiment poll (G)
Come to think of it, I have had wasabi mustard. Good stuff. Never wasabi duck cream, though -- I think I just made that up.
I think it was having to witness all my relatives eating all manner of foul mayo-based salads that put me off the stuff. You can only watch my Aunt Snog put away so many pounds of potato salad, apple salad, and cole slaw before it starts to get to you. And speaking of cole slaw, that's another foul creation, for it features not only mayo but also cabbage. I don't eat anything ending in the letters "bage"; sounds too much like "garbage."
And I didn't include Tabasco because certainly there's no debate -- it rules. I do like Scorned Woman better, though.
Aren't you sorry that you ever commented on this poll? :)
Hubby got some stuff from Shorty's Mexican Roadhouse, it's a hot sauce and I swear it is the hottest shite I have ever touched. We use a nut pick to apply it, just a dot at a time until we get it right.
Makes your ears ring.
Hey, boy, your mamma must have taught you no manners. Cole Slaw is an important Southern dish, as is potato salad. However, I will not eat Waldorf salad, it's nasty to put mayo on stuff like apples and nuts.
Of course, it's even nastier to put it on french fries, isn't that what they do in Europe?
Yeah, by the way, wasabi will take the top of your head off, like that hot mustard at the Chinese restaurant. Good stuff if you like to snort and stomp a lot while you're eating.

Wasabi duck cream: never tried it. Any good?
