Condiment Crackdown: Cooking Channel Fans Like Their Hot Sauce

Condiment Crackdown: Cooking Channel Fans Like Their Hot Sauce

Oi! There are other condiment whores out there too! I must admit, I am on a total Sriracha kick, and have a tendency to stick it in runner up Mayo. I am, however, surprised by the nod to ketchup - really? I rarely use ketchup on its own, but I will often mix it with tabasco. We also recently re-purchased some curry ketchup from Dunderbak's. I really enjoy it in place of ketchup, although certain versions can be a bit sweet. It's great on tater tots and fries though. I might be interested in using it on a lamb burger with some roasted veggies and perhaps cilantro (just a nod to some Indian spices).

Are there any condiments you use on a regular basis that didn't make it on the list? I would probably add soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, and vinegar (mostly white and rice).

Japanese Kewpie?

I saw this article on Banh Mi (you say it "Bun Me" just like Pho is "Fuh") and they talk about Japanese Kewpie mayo. I actually saw Kewpie at world market a few weekends ago and was curios - mostly because of the cute baby on the bottle. Has anyone tried it?


You can buy the cute stuff by clicking the photo. Oh - and how about the Banh Mi for you? I think we may have our next sandwich in the making!
