the Caesar dressing that comes in the Dole salad package...best dressing ever. I wish they would just bottle it.

The great thing about barbeque is that when you get hungry 3 hours later....you can lick your fingers

Avoid cutting yourself while slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop away.

Miracle Whip. :blush:

Me too.

The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

Neon relish.

Me too - the sweet pickle relish must go on my generic hot dog along with "ballpark mustard" (the cheap bright yellow stuff) and onions.

Well, if Heinz Ketchup doesn't count, I'll say French's Mustard. I neeeeeed that for my Nathan's hot dogs. Although I am learning to use fancy German mustard now.

I don't think Heinz Ketchup counts, because I married a Picksburgher, and now I'm not allowed to use any other sort of ketchup. Since I don't use ketchup often, I'm OK with that.

But French's Mustard is at the top of my list of trashy condiments. I know good mustard. I own good mustard. I know how to make good homemade mustard. And yet, there is something about that bright yellow stuff that makes my mouth sing. I even put it on scrambled eggs.

Oh, the shame.

Hell yes for the French's love. A hot dog is not a hot dog without it, although it may have other applications.

Geez, I consider Heinz to be the "good" stuff and the "gourmet," organic dreck to be bad.

I actually prefer the flavor of the Heinz organic ketchup over their standard... It just tastes more tomatoey.

My weakness is celery seed salt. My blood pressure has a different opinion.

In-N-Out Burger spread packets. It's thousand island dressing.

The odd clear and pink Sweet-n-sour sauce at chinese take out houses mixed with the chinese hot mustard packets. The best on a greasy egg roll.

I like Aussie-style tomato sauce, but only in a sausage sizzle situation: overcooked snag laid diagonally on a bit of doughy white bread and topped with grilled onions. Otherwise it's Heinz ketchup all the way.

Have to be dodgy supermarket mystery bags, too. With a list of ingredients that says something like, 'Meat (45%) ...' And a white supermarket loaf. A $20/kilo organic Daylesford bull-boar sausage in a $6 sourdough just isn't right.

Oh, yes, absolutely! TipTop, or even better, generic bread. Somehow it complements the dodgy sausage and sauce perfectly. But I really can't stand it otherwise.
