I think I just kind of branched out over the years.

My memory says ketchup was important when I was a kid, especially on burgers. I ate a LOT of burgers and was astounded to find out later in life (probably about age 20 or so) that people put stuff other than ketchup, mustard, and pickle on them!

Turned out that variety has become the spice of condiments over the years. Ketchup is still for some burgers, and absolutely a must for meatloaf, but with a lot of other choices (so many forms of mustard, hot sauces by the dozen, mayo, aioli (yes, I've gone over to the dark side), fried onions and peppers, and so on it has lost a lot of my personal market share.

That said, I never did like ketchup on fries (but gravy can be good) or eggs (but there are some hot sauces that are perfect).


Aioli is just fancy mayo *

Clearly, you have never had the good stuff. Mayo it ain't. *

It uses the same fundamental technique and ingredients. Unless you are only eating Catalan style aioli, where no egg is used, what you are consuming is literally just fancy mayo, cuisine wise.
