Manners live in vain

Remember mayochup? The culinary monstersminds at Kraft Heinz have come up with three new condiment combos: Mayomust (mayo + mustard), Mayocue (mayo + barbecue sauce) and the best-named one yet: Kranch (ketchup + ranch dressing).
Kranch. KRANCH. This is a word you cannot help but say out loud. Ranch dressing is having a revival, but it almost doesn’t matter what this tastes like. The most important thing — Heinz’s greatest gift to America this summer — is the opportunity to say, “Hey, brah, can you pass me some KRANCH?” It is absurd. Kranch. Why. Kraaaaaaanch.
It's not called "mayochup". It's called "fry sauce" and it's entirely prevalent in the Pacific and Inland Northwest. You know you're at a restaurant or chain location that has local roots if they offer you fry sauce.
Pro tip -- always say yes, and always dip in it, because it's ridiculously delicious.
(also just mayo works too if you don't want ketchup. Burger Royale, and all that.)

Maystard. It should be maystard. I wouldn't buy it prepackaged, but I admit I'm now going to try it as a pretzel dip, where straight mustard can be a bit overly strong.

It's not called "mayochup". It's called "fry sauce"
Well, actually, I think you'll find it's called speciaal sauce and needs raw onion snippers to make it complete and preferably curry ketchup rather than plain ketchup to perfect it.
And that too is available ready made.

I thought fry sauce generally was mayochup+a dash of hot sauce or something else to give it a touch of spice/kick. That might be a Seattle bastardization of it though. Or at least the places I've been to that do it.
But yeah, I always think the "OH NOES MAYOCHUP" is a little weird since, basically if it's not frysauce, it's bland russian dressing/thousand island.
ALSO: Pro-tip, and I'm surprised they didn't realize this: BBQ+Ranch=great. I do it by color, usually so it's about the same color as fry sauce/russian dressing, and I think it's usually about 2 pts BBQ, 1 part ranch. But you know, eyeball it and do what looks right to you. It's a real great flavor.

I tried making a sauce out of a generous amount of Annie's Organic Yellow mustard and almond butter a couple of weeks ago.
Within minutes it was stiffer than glazier's putty and smelled very strange.
I think the hot principle of the mustard must have polymerized the almond oil — kind of like mixing the two components of epoxy together. I still ate it though, sliced thin on rice cakes. It was pretty terrible.

They missed the natural ad choice though. "Ketchup and mustard in the same bottle? That is really mustup." "Yep, sure is." or "Man, I really mustup this time." Cut to picture of hot dog smothered with condiment.

I love fry sauce and am always intrigued that you can only find it in one region of the US (east of the Cascades, west of the Rockies) and in a few places in Europe.
Also, our family version of fry sauce is Mayo+ Sriracha, mixed to a pleasing pink slime-ish hue and served with tater tots.
We were eating at an expensive hipster foodie place one time and they had this really great "spicy aoli" on the side. I asked the server, expecting a long story about how it is handcrafted from local products, but nope, it was mayo & Sriracha. I've made it ever since.

What’s a cordwainer smith?
Cordwainer Smith was a pen name of Paul Linebarger. As Smith, he wrote a bunch of SF, mostly remember for his faaaaar future setting "The Instrumentality of Mankind." Lots of his stuff (like human-hunting war robots) would seem tropey and hackish now, but he was at or near the forefront at the time. As Linebarger, he helped develop core concepts of psychological warfare.

"Mayard" sounds classier than "maystard", and might pair well with a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. But it might be confused with the delicious Maillard reaction.
Also "maystard" has been trademarked.
(Seriously, though, I prefer to make my own recombiments, because then I can not fully mix the condiments but instead have swirls, and so every bite is a little different.)

Also, our family version of fry sauce is Mayo+ Sriracha, mixed to a pleasing pink slime-ish hue and served with tater tots.

I love fry sauce and am always intrigued that you can only find it in one region of the US (east of the Cascades, west of the Rockies) and in a few places in Europe.
Fry sauce (mayo + ketchup + spices) is pretty common across the south as well. Raising Canes (a restaurant that just sells chicken fingers) has a version (they add Worcestershire and Onion powder), as do multiple regional hamburger places. They don't call it 'fry sauce' but it's basically the same thing to my taste.

This morning I had a fried egg and arugula sandwich. I put mayonnaise on one slice of toast and sriracha on the other. If I wanted to go out in the snow and pay somebody twelve bucks I could have had an egg sandwich with sriracha mayonnaise.

This was inevitable after the merger of Kraft, leading producer of Mayo and bottled salad dressings, and Heinz, number one in ketchup who has been trying for years to extend its influence over mustard and relish. I don't know whether to look forward with anticipation or fear the potential mergers with Lea & Perrins (Worcesternaise?) or Huy Fong (Srirachup?). Of course, if they have already gotten into Kraft's dressings lines, then Franch is inevitable, as are Thousand Ranch and Green Cheese (a mix of Blue Cheese and Green Goddess). And don't get me started on their bright red super-sweet Catalina. Or the fact that Kraft is sill marketing Philadelphia Cream Cheese.

Well, I make my own "sauce" for grilling chicken. It is a combination of whatever random BBQ sauces, hot sauces & mustard bottles that are currently half-empty in the fridge. Add to that my special blend of spices (also random, but powered garlic and fresh ground pepper and hot pepper flakes are a must)... oh - and Worcestershire ... and Soy...
But the final, super-secret ingredient is carefully added by eyeballing the entire mixture's volume and then pouring into that, at least half the amount of real Maple Syrup.
Never had a complaint, have had many compliments...
But, adding mayo? Yeah... No, never... Nor relish... (shudders)

This is an enjoyable thread, but I am a cranky geezer.
Store brand Ketchup is $1.89 for 32 oz. 94¢/ pound
Store Brand Traditional Yellow Mustard 8 Oz. $1.78/ pound
Real Mayonnaise $2.69 30 Oz. $2.87/Per quart
Heinz Mayomust Saucy Sauce Squeeze 16.5 Oz. $3.59 $3.48/ pound
The grocery business runs on shelf space, and this is a bid for more shelf space. There are a number of varieties of mayo, and all I want is Real Mayo - olive oil or other tasty oil is fine, but reduced fat is a horrible deception, full of sugar and nope. Even in my incipient dotage, it is still within my powers to mix some (real) mayo and mustard. Maybe some Nance's sweet-hot mustard, excellent with salami on a triscuit. Shedd's Old-Style Sauce has vanished and is much lamented by every shaved ham or turkey sandwich, but there's a recipe in the link with mayo, horseradish, and a little ketchup. The grocery may have shelf space to sell, but my fridge door space is not unlimited.

"Mayochup" is what my friend in South America called "Fancy Sauce" which was used on sandwiches, hot dogs, for dipping chips, etc. Just eyeball a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise, stir, and serve. No party was complete without it.

Alas, there was no Kranch to be found at our local grocery store, so we bought some frozen chicken nuggets and French fries and went home to make our own Kranch. He gave it two thumbs up, his highest rating. I tried it and gagged.

I used to work in a rather pretentious Devon restaurant in the 70s, and one of their specialities was prawn cocktail with Mary-Rose sauce. Mary-Rose sauce was a 50:50 mix of tomato ketchup and mayonnaise. I still like it on peeled cooked prawns, with a bit of Worcestershire sauce to posh it up a bit.

Interesting...I made my own mayo once shortly after getting a stick blender; while that process worked a treat, creating a very dense concentrated mayonnaise product, it didn't taste different enough from store-bought to make it worth my bother. I used extra-virgin olive oil and I think just egg yolks, along with fresh lemon juice, so I can't fault my ingredients. I'm honestly curious why the home-made product didn't wow me. Then again mayo isn't a significant factor in my diet outside of sandwiches, which tend to have enough other ingredients that the mayo recedes into the background, so who knows.

I'm cool with that. The only discernible difference between stick-blended food and manually-whipped food is a bit of sweat, and adding a pinch of sea salt covers that gap handily.

whipped cream, which should not have added sugar in it
unless it also has some cocoa powder.

i only recently became aware that people dip their pizza into ranch dressing and it's made me feel not better exactly but at least more resigned about the state of things latelyCould be worse. My grandkids picked this up from their parents so I am blocked from releasing the full power of my cane-waving sarcasm on the practice.
As an aside, one of the many times MF has wronged me is the one where I tried making a grilled cheese with mayonnaise vs. butter. Beyond hideous. I understand tastes are personal, but my person must differ radically from the mayo-grilled-cheese persons. But some of the other combos in this thread sound great and my to-try list is now brimming.
Cecil’s in St. Paul serves “bird sauce” on one of their sandwiches. It is apparently A Thing because a coworker says his folks use it. It’s mayo and mustard. I far prefer “bird sauce” to some random mashup like “m’muasi”. Which actually was supposed to be a gag but sounds better than the names the marketers came up with....

I'm still waiting for Ketchup and Sriracha, or as I would call it, Krach.

"Mayomust" may be the most unappetizing word I have read in a long time. And the idea of ranch dressing and ketchup mixed gave me a full-body shudder.

the fishy note in proper Worcestershire sauce is from anchovies.
Spelling aside, that was the point.
