    Mustard, I see way too much hate out there for one of the greats.

      Yellow mustard? Garbage.

      Honey or spicy brown? Okay that's a good condiment.

        Yellow mustard is good for two things. Corndogs and hotdogs. Otherwise you're right, every other mustard is better.

          It's just turmeric that's been added in. People hate on it because it's vivid and homogeneous but it's just mustard and vinegar and turmeric.

      I would pour it directly into my mouth as a kid. And when I'm sure I won't get caught.

    Pickled red onion is pretty bomb, I never really see it at the store, but luckily they're easy to make

      Thanks for reminding me of this. I had a sweet horse radish sauce I loved.

        Oh god this place had apple horseradish sauce for their sandwiches and it was amazing. Amazing. Sweet and heat, rolled neatly into one.

        That's already happening. Loads of wasabi for sale in the US is fake. How do I know that? I looked around. Usually it's way too cheap to be real. Horseradish isn't cheap but wasabi puts it to shame. My local supermarket sells what purports to be real wasabi but not in store only by shipping.

        It's ~$9 for 2.5 ounces. And it's freeze dried and the label says 51% wasabi.

    Sauerkraut for use at home.

    I hadn't bought any in years and years but I did a few weeks ago. I wondered if it would simply sit in my fridge untouched and then ~1 year later I'd throw it out because it was too old. I'll surely end up using it all up sometime in January.

      I'm the only one in the house who loves sauerkraut, the rest of my family thinks it's disgusting. But luckily we live near a supermarket who stocks it because there are many eastern European immigrants living in the area

    Dumpling sauce, aka Soy sauce, sesame seed oil, vinegar, and a lil bit of sugar. Sometimes with chili oil and garlic. Dunno if there's a better name for it.

    Put that shit on pretty much anything savory.

      That's basically my main tofu sauce. Sometimes with Frank's and usually without sugar, although I swap it for maple syrup on occasion.

        Yeah, the storebought stuff is pretty sweet imo, and I'd probably make it with no sugar more often than not, but my partner likes the sugar v much, and I don't care much either way.

        Franks is pretty good too. I use chili paste or siracha with it more often, but franks is super solid as well, and basically mandatory for making buffalo sauce. I've made siracha buffalo sauce before, and its good, but just not the same as with Franks.

        I'll have to try it with maple syrup sometime tho, that sounds super good!

    Did you know in America malt vinegar is not a staple condiment in restaurants?

        I'd say it's not weird to put vinegar on your fried (although weirdly enough it's not a common condiment at restaurants either), but malt vinegar is definitely less common.

        Although a funny experience I had at a restaurant is asking for vinegar for my fries and got handed balsamic vinegar, lol.
