Salt? You put it everywhere and in ancient times was literally used as "salary" for workers.

Hence the term "worth your salt".
P.S. I just made that up, I have no idea if it's true.
Mustard
oh no there are other answers other than this… how silly :(
Dijon, grainy, honey, yellow, brown, spicy, Coleman’s, German… so many mustards to chose from.
Mayonnaise because it goes with everything. You can add flavour to mayonnaise. It's the most versatile of the condiments.
Respectfully disagree. Mustard on a pretzel, yay! Mayo on a pretzel, yugh!
Mustard + mayo on a pretzel is slept on.
Excellent with fries.
This is the correct answer, but not because it tastes great by itself, rather it's because it's the base of most other dips, spreads, sauses, and aiolis.
Mayonnaise.
It's utilitarian as fuck and goes on or with everything. Think of every other condiment listed here and think what you usually use it on. Guarantee it's also got mayo or even has mayo in the condiment.
Mayo and mustard are definitely what came to mind for me. And if the two, mayo is far more useful. Sandwiches of every kind, it's the base for numerous spreads and dips, and it even goes great on stuff like sushi. You can mix it with so many things to make unique and interesting sauces. Eg, I use chipolte and garlic mayo for many sandwiches I make (and sandwich like things such as wraps). Sriracha mayo is a classic in sushi. It's usually the basis of a good fry sauce.
BBQ sauce. Sweet baby rays if you are doing store bought.
My preferred brand. The sugar free one is great.
Fun fact, they (at least in my area) call that one just Baby Rays, not Sweet Baby Rays.
Mayo + Ketchup
Throw in a bit of vinegar and chopped pickles and you got yourself not one 1 but 1000 islands!
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup yellow onion, minced
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/4 teaspoon kosher saltKetchup! It’s also a vegetable.
It’s a sports drink!
It's what plants crave.
Honey mustard
Laoganma chili crisp
Awesome on pizza.
Pickled onions.
Soy sauce
Chilli sauce
Cajun
HP Sauce
End of conversation ;)
Sriracha chili garlic sauce, the chunky one
Chilli sauce, or I could just say just any hot sauce in general so Chilli/Pepper sauce because it works on practically everything.
Tonkatsu Sauce hands down
Avocado
Malt vinegar. Fight me.
Hot sauce, something sweet with mango or pineapple and hot enough to get a sweat on.
Za'atar, or sambal oelek.
Gotta step out on a limb and add sweet and sour sauce
Ginger, because it is also very healthy
Secret aardvark. Look it up, let the reviews convince you, buy a bottle online, and reply in a week when you try it. You only need a small drop each bite, so the bottle will last. Its also fairly thick so you dont end up with a bunch of wasted sauce
Bbq sauce
My dads sause
I also choose this guy's dad's sauce
Gulden's spicy brown mustard. By FAR.
Marinara
Andalousesaus. The Belgian version. NOT the Dutch one!
It's it because you can't trust the Dutch?
In general probably true, but in this specific case the recipe is just different. Belgian Andalouse is spicier and less sweet.
Look at what you went ahead and did; made me learn something when I was just trying to make a joke.
But seriously, super interesting and appreciate the serious reply!
