Best Condiment List!

Check out this article for a list of some of the best condiments in the world!

There's several that I've had on there, and completely agree with. I don't know how I'd like without mayo (regardless of whether it's full fat or one of the several light versions) or Sriracha (and they're even better when put together - maybe we'll get Tim to list his full recipe). I also really love currywurst, although right now my fridge is stocked with a mild version, and I'd like to see if there's a spicy one available. Can't find currywurst near you? I pick mine up at a local German pub - Mr. Dunderbak's. Dunderbak's is a chain, so they may have one near you, but also try places like Cost Plus World Market - they carry it as well.

Cholula truly makes my top 5 list, and is fantastic (hot sauce that has a great taste). I also think fish sauce (and fresh ginger) makes most asian food taste better - a little will go a long way and make your food really pop!

I also completely agree that Heinz makes the best ketchup (YES KETCHUP NOT CATSUP) and won't stock anything else in the fridge (except the currywurst).

I do disagree with a few on there. I've never been able to stomach vegemite for example (sorry my South African friends) and while I think tahini has good uses (hummus, babaganoush), I'm not a fan of it on its own.

So what are your top 5 list? I'm sure mine varies from day to day, but right now I'll go with:
Frank's Hot Sauce
Cholula
Horseradish Mustard
Mayo
Peanut Sauce

A little V-day and Condiment connection!

So I know this is a little late, since Valentines Day (AND MY BDAY - HINT HINT) has since come and gone, but this is a pretty cute article about hot sauce and love that I thought everyone would enjoy:

Hot Sauce a Love - is there a Connection?

So what do you think? Does that delicious spicy hotness you get from Cholula or Franks hit you the same was as your significant other might? (No, I am not condoning hitting anyone). And what about those kids? Think their tastebuds are still in development, or do they have it right?

I believe that the rush I get from Tim is a lot like that delicious fire I feel from hot sauce, albeit Tim's rush is longer lasting. It's not like I can freebase hot sauce all day long to maintain that high. And those kids - well, I'm not sure if they have it right, but they're just so darn cute!
