Mayo mixed with a touch of dijon mustard on sweet potatoe or yam fries does it for me. Than again I think Cheez whiz on pancakes is great.

Ahh that explains why those ketchup packets were so fat when I was at the game last week. I was wondering about that. I like it.

Random off-topic rant time:
Miracle Whip is not mayonnaise, nor has it ever been mayonnaise (as PIMking points out).

People who use it as mayonnaise (on sandwiches) need to learn how to read the label. It is "salad dressing". It says it, right on the label. Why the heck would I want to put salad dressing on any sandwich?

It's also edible oil combined with sugar, salt and vinegar. Quite possibly the worst thing I've ever tasted (and I'm not being facetious).

I grew up with Hellman's Mayonnaise. I refused to eat Miracle Whip as a child and now will throw the jar at anyone who even hints at offering it to me. Anyone who consumes that product needs a new taste palate. Seriously, soy-bean oil and high fructose corn syrup? Disgusting.

Just say no to Miracle Whip.

PS: I guess those new ketchup packets are cool. I just use a bottle mostly - don't usually eat fries at restaurants. Now if only Wings foods would fix their blasted sweet and sour sauce packets...

Big Mac sauce is also just Thousand Island dressing.

Doesn't the McChicken sauce have something "extra" in it? I remember there being off-coloured chunks that I hoped were dried onions at the time. But I could have been eating some old McChicken sauce...

And I will defend the other side. Mayonnaise is like a nice warm jar of bukkake leftovers. Horrible consistency, disgusting taste, plain out foul. The second worst foul released upon humanity after feta cheese (rant for another time).

Now Miracle Whip? That stuff is from the gods. Spreadable on a sammich, delicious flavour, actually adds to what you are eating. People who say they cannot tell the difference between the two (and I've met quite a few) should be banned from eating. Period.

Just say yes to Miracle Whip.

Most places don't make you pay for it. But you are right... not even close to ketchup. Impossible to eat this on your fries when you are used to ketchup.

Sounds like you take your mayo about as seriously as I take my mustard.

I enjoy both Mayonnaise and Miracle Whip. Different tastes, different textures, good for different things.

The new ketchup should be pretty cool, although I never had a problem squirting it. For dipping just squirt it onto a clean napkin or something.

I was there long enough it didn't seem to bother me. I like the fast food in Australia more than Alberta. You are limited in your choices, McDonald's, KFC, and Hungry Jacks (Burger King). KFC had the spicy chicken burger with cheese and bacon 10 years ago. I also learned to like the chips at KFC better than fries. Hungry Jacks had an Aussie burger that included a fried egg and beet root on it along with bacon, cheese and the usual Whopper trimmings. Now I don't eat beets, but for some reason I found beets on hamburgers and chicken burgers in Australia to be delicious. The end result was me returning home the fattest I have ever been in my life.

During all my years in NZ I never acquired a taste for the tomato sauce or beets on a burger. Nor did I enjoy those thin red sausages they call hot dogs.

You disgust me. Just breathing the same air as you gives me the heaves.

Condiment Alchemy.

All you need is ketchup, relish, and Miracle Whip. (Or Mayo+Lemon Juice+Vinegar+Sugar)

Relish + Miracle Whip = Tartar Sauce (McFish)

Tartar Sauce + Ketchup = Thousand Islands Dressing (Big Mac)

Ergo, if you are eating Big Mac or McFish, you are eating Salad Dressing on your sandwich...

(Not to mention that Mayo is used as a base for lots of dressings)

You forgot O'porto, the single moist delicious bastion of fast food in the world. I've considered flying down for a Bondi burger.

Also, the sausage cart outside Cargo Bar on Darling Harbour that loads about 1/2lb of cheese onto your bun. Combined with the drinking in the bar, the general area removed 4-6 years from my life expectancy.

Yeah, it is more convenient, but I've always thought those packets are more wastefull than the foil ones we have here.

but then again, those aussie ######bags charge extra for ketchup. 50 cents extra at some places

oh well, what can you say about a place that charges you $3 for a cup of coffee (the drip kind, not the fancy expresso) and $3 for a doughnut
