Mustard is my favorite condiment.  I can't explain why, and I don't know when it started.  But mustard makes my food experience that much better.  I'll be the first to admit that mustard has very limited use.  It can't be used on chicken or steak, not to mention vegetables of any variety.  But mustard comes in quite a few flavors, such as honey mustard (which is the condiment for chicken) and spicy brown (which has a certain affinity for ham).  I've gotten to the point where no hamburger or hot dog is complete without mustard (ketchup is a given).  It's almost an insult to be forced to eat food at a barbecue without mustard. 

Other people claim ketchup as their favorite condiment.  I can't explain why, but I sometimes find ketchup repulsive.  I think it has something to do with my tendency to use it on eggs, which has the unpleasant effect of making everything with ketchup remind me of eggs (except hamburgers and hot dogs).  These same people put ketchup on chicken and steak, and to me, that's an abomination. 

Still other people claim A1 steak sauce as their condiment of choice.  That's an opinion I can understand.  A1 makes steak come alive.  I've even heard it goes well with cheese.  But aside from that, it doesn't have nearly the appeal of mustard. #food
