Condiments

arran77

I like a bit of banter but sometimes things get a bit heavy!


So a simple, light hearted question, what's your condiment of choice if you fancy a dollop?

lancew

Mayo mixed with sweet chilli on Sweet potato wedges.

Prepare to never be race weight again.

Monkeypump

Salad cream just pips it of the two.

However, aioli wins in the all-time condiment stakes for me.

veronese68

Being Friday I will be having a fry up for lunch so brown sauce is the only choice.
Out of the two in the poll, mayo. Rarely eat salad.

Neither do I but I'm trying to be good :roll:

Mayo is awesome for dunking chips in but salad cream is good in a fish finger buttie :shock:

ballysmate

Given a choice, neither. But sometimes, food comes preprepared with mayo and I just have to get on with it and try to swallow, chewing as little as possible.
I have never tried salad cream, it just looks gopping. Food of the Devil!

No. That is eggy bread. We've talked about this before.

Eggy Bread is the food of the Devil and olives are Satan's ar5e grapes. This is indisputable and anyone that says otherwise is in league with Lucifer.

I agree on the olive's, they serve no useful purpose, eggy bread on the other hand with a good fry up, yes please 8)

Now, now, K_B, don't be ride to the guests. Especially when they are right.

I quite often finish up the littl'uns leftovers, and they unfortunately seem to like the blasted stuff (SC). Trouble is, I often don't realise it's contaminated until I'm half way through a fishfinger.

ballysmate

Agree wholeheartedly about olives.
Why anyone would want them in a drink is mind boggling. Never mind eating them.

Guest is a very polite way of putting it although it implies that someone is invited to be somewhere and I very much doubt that's the case.

It does also have the following meaning as well which may well be more apt

A small invertebrate that lives unharmed within an ants' nest.

Maybe ants' nest is a metaphor for this place and crudders / BB'ers are the invertebrate :P

Anyway back on topic, the only correct gastronomic use for salad cream is with fish fingers in a buttie, white bread only

Kieran_Burns

I always thought it was either custard or tomato ketchup with fish fingers? Not that I care, being a veggie and all.

Oh and if you want to try gopping: have a go at the Quorn fish fingers... There's a special level of hell reserved for the people that made that recipe up.

FFs it's just garlic mayo.

Mayo is my choice. Don't care how it comes. Garlicky, mustardly, whatever. As long as it is full fat.

Mayo with chips. Any of the flavours that you get in a Belgian chip van (plain included).

What's with all the dissing olives? Plebs...

rubertoe

Salad Cream and Mayonaise are essentially the same thing.

one os made from boiled eggs one isnt.

So when you are having that egg mayo sandwhich, you are basically having Egg Egg sandwhiches.

BTW its all about peps chilli jam, with EVERYTHING.

Olives rule

Quorn I do not understand :?

If you're not going to eat meat or fish why try making something that looks like a sausage or fish finger!

lancew

I am taking a stand.

Olives are amazing. Especially when fresh in a hot country with good fresh bread.

Fresh olives are awful! I naively tried one once straight from a tree in Tuscany and it was one of the most bitter things I've tasted.

This is a wind-up, right?

Picking the difference between salad cream and mayo is a bit like choosing between Trek and Spesh. I mean, technically there *is* a distinction, but really, who cares? :twisted:

Not a wind up at all, like I said just a light hearted question

They don't look the same, they don't taste the same, they ain't the same :P

veronese68

Yes, olives have to be processed before they can be eaten. No good straight from the tree. They are good for making oil, not for eating.
Quorn is just plain wrong.
I guess 'frietsaus' just means 'chip sauce' or similar. Is that flavoured mayo?

arran77

Apparently frietsaus is sweeter than mayonnaise and must not be confused with 'fry sauce'

I'm not sure how you make it to be honest, but it has a more creamy, fatty mouth feel, and is a little sweeter. Its delicious.

My favourite though is chips with sate sauce...

*drool*

The dutch really know their chips...

You're approaching it from the wrong end (as it were) It's to get people who eat meat to try something different. They make it look the same to get over the "all veggie food is weird" hurdle

I love a vegitarian meal, I will quite often order a veggie option when I am eating out on the theory that they have to try harder to make it tasty due to the lack of meat.

Fish dont have fingers and chickens dont have drumsticks...

Interesting! How does that sit with a veggie like yourself then? I mean you've chosen not not eat meat or fish for one reason or another - don't know if it's ethical, taste, health reasons, whatever, it's none of my business - but does it bother you that the foods you eat are being made to 'look' like foods you chose not to eat?

Sriracha. It's 'mazin' in a bacon+egg buttie.
