Here I am the official family condiment queen, but it turns out I’m a condiment IQ failure. In a bit of clever marketing, French’s has decided to show how their mustard is the preferred condiment of choice.
Take the quiz, they beckon. So, confident in my abilities and tastes, I took the quiz. Let me warn you, your tastes may influence your answers. After all, mustard is fine, but it flunks the taste test with some foods.
–A fried egg sandwich with a thick juicy tomato: Mayonnaise.
–Piping hot extra crispy fries: Ketchup. Malt vinegar, a close second (first place if you’re at the beach).
–A hamburger: Ketchup and Mustard. Maybe even Mayo or A-1. Are we talking turkey burger–definitely need Mayo and Ketchup and Mustard. Thick, juicy, extra charred Angus burger: I’m with the President on the Grey Poupon discussion. If we’re talking roadside slider, I give it the mustard and ketchup duo squirt with plenty of pickles. See, it’s the specifics that decide, not my condiment IQ!
BTW, I know when to use mustard! It’s all about the taste, baby.
You get the picture: A condiment is only as good as its environs. Yes, I know K
etchup has some unnecessary ingredients–take the test, you’ll see.
Yes, I know Mayo has some unnecessary components–calories. Oops, now you know.
Mustard has its place. Not on every plate.
Take the test. It’s worth the squirt.
