Best Sauces

The following are what I would consider to be the best sauces ever made. To be considered a sauce, you must be added to a food item after it is 100% edible. The purpose of the sauce is to make the food better.

1. A-1
2. Classico Fire Roasted Tomoato and Garlic
3. Ketchup
4. Ranch dressing
5. White sauce from Japanese restaurants
6. Vinegar sauce to add on eastern NC bbq

If you haven't tried any of these yet, you are missing out on the finer things in life.

I like honey mustard a lot, though it needs to be honey and mayonnaise-heavy, not mustard-heavy. Not a fan of A-1 (but then not really a fan of steak). As for salad dressings, any kind of vinaigrette is usually my choice.

For non-Americans, I think it is worth pointing out that 'ranch dressing' is "made of buttermilk or sour cream, mayonnaise, minced green onion, and other seasonings mixed into a sauce." I remember being at the airport in Hong Kong and hearing an American ask a poor Burger King clerk for about 5 minutes if they had any ranch dressing. Aside from the minor language barrier, the condiment is not really known outside the US (certainly not in Australia anyways). We found the whole incident quite amusing.

As for sauces, it depends on what I'm eating.

For your fajitas, salad roll, falafel roll or any kind of wrap, I'm a sweet chilli sauce or salsa kind of guy.

For burgers (vege burgers, of course), I'm a barbeque sauce kind of person, but the sweet chilli still gets a look in occasionally.

Sushi/bento - soy sauce and wasabi.

For big hot chips (or fries as I guess you call them in America - everything that comes from a potato is a chip here :) ), tomato sauce is the only way to go.

I'm a very picky eater, so the only sauces I like are ketchup, mustard, honey mustard (the same way Aaron and memnv prefer it), and marinara. Barbecue and sweet & sour sauce are okay to me, but I can only have them in very small doses, and even then, I have to be in a certain mood for them.

I use more ketchup than anyone I know. But only Heinz. Everything else just tastes bland.

Apart from that, tabasco gets frequent use on much of my food, from pizza to macaroni and cheese.

Horseradish! One teaspoon of that stuff will make you cry so it adds a great zip to a sandwich, bratwurst and hamburger. Wasabi can do the same but it's tough to say which is more intense but I love both of those intense flavors.
I remember one time I was in an Asian restaurant and my friends ordered some egg rolls that came with about 2 teaspoons of wasabi. So my friends like to dare me so they said "Aaron, we'll give you a dollar if you eat that whole dab of wasabi." I said okay and like it was a shoot of whiskey I swallowed the whole thing; I didn't chew but man I started crying and my nose was all runny and what not. The things I do for a buck.

I knew this kid that would not eat anything unless it had ketchup on it - breakfast cereal, ice cream - nothing unless it had ketchup on it. Still grosses me out.

My grandpa loves ketchup but I highly doubt he would eat it on ice cream or cereal because that's just nasty.

I put mustard on pretty much everything I eat. I mix it with ketchup on my ham/cheeseburgers.

I also mix salad dressings - Catalina, Italian, and Ranch, and sometimes Raspberry Vinegarettes (whatever is in the fridge).

If ever I'm eating with someone and sweet & sour sauce is on the table, I try to use it on something- but I never eat it without mixing it with barbecue sauce.

Raspberry (and similar types of) sauces, Mexican salsa, and cheese sauce are about it for me.

I really hate ketchup, mustard, and salad dressing. (I also hate hamburgers, french fries, soft drinks, and the like. I simply hate how they taste!)
