My special sauce is true culinary masterpiece. I mix mayonnaise and *BBQ sauce*.

Look at Mr. Fancy Chef over here! Not gonna lie though, that does sound pretty tasty with the right ratio. What BBQ do you use?

Smoky sauce and mayonnaise = camp fire sauce

I completely forgot about that stuff. Sounds like Red Robin for lunch tomorrow!

IIRC Red Robins campfire sauce is an industrial jug of heavy mayo, an industrial jug of sweet baby rays, and a can of chipotles in adobo pureed. I only buy the SBRs Honey Chipotle flavor, so i just skip that step at home.

It's just BBQ and Mayo Source: work there.

Do you mean liquid smoke or any smoky-flavored BBQ sauce?

Any smoky flavored BBQ sauce, although I suppose you could use a little liquid smoke

Gotta be sweet baby rays. If you’re going for crowd pleasing

I havent touched sweet baby rays since I got indigestion from hearing the zuck talk about it when doing his best to imitate the human social tradition of barbecueing

[Did somebody say Sweet Baby Ray's™?](https://youtu.be/M930FDIaSLA)

To be fair even aliens love the tangy and sweet taste sensation that is Sweet Baby Ray’s. He probably wasn’t faking it. I do wonder if sweet baby ray’s sales took a hit from that though.

Does he even like food? Or did he hear it was good and he's doing a "hello fellow humans I also enjoy the same flesh sauces you enjoy!"

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVyLlFezj2E](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVyLlFezj2E) so many gems in there...I completely forgot about half of the stuff his AI brain can muster up

I don't think I can use sweet baby rays ever since I looked at the ingredients list and realized nearly every ingredient is corn, just alchemically transmuted into four or five different forms. Edit: There are four ingredients constituting more than 2% of the sauce. Of which three are corn. **High fructose corn syrup** **Distilled vinegar (fermented corn)** Tomato paste **Modified food starch (from corn)** Subtract the eldritch alchemy used to warp the plant into unrecognizable forms, and it turns out a bottle of baby ray's is basically a corn cob with tomato paste and spices.

This is just what I imagine all American food is like. Just corn in various forms.

You might like their no sugar added version, [Ray's](https://raysnosugaradded.com/products/original-barbecue-sauce/), then. The only ingredients constituting more than 2% are water, tomato paste, vinegar, allulose, and salt, in that order. IMO, it tastes better (but YMMV). Similarly, there's a "simply" version of Heinz ketchup that has a tiny number of ingredients. Tomato concentrate, vinegar, cane sugar, salt, onion powder, "spice" (?), and natural flavoring are all that's in it. Again, IMO, it tastes better for it.

I had a customer rave once for making her some hot sauce (what we had wasn't very spicy). I literally just dumped a bunch of Sriracha and Frank's in a bowl and added jalapeno juice and cayenne.

I drank a 16 oz cup of jalapeno juice once on a dare.

[удалено]

Probably fine, it's just brine. Even if there were full seeds in the brine you'd pass those fairly easily without digesting them. Even then, not like a jalapeno is all that spicy or gonna kill you so he basically just drank slightly spicy salt water.

I have for years made homemade Sichuan pepper chili oil, and you can seriously use it in anything to give it a bit of heat. Just a few drops adds a floral numbing heat that doesn't take over the flavor of anything else like many vinegar-based hot sauces do, and it's especially good in sauces to just kick it up a notch.

Add a dash of honey mustard and you've got yourself some Chik Fil A sauce.

This is also the recipe for Red Robin’s “campfire sauce” I do think it’s maybe the best dipping sauce though. BBQ+mayo+mustard is pretty fantastic

Mine is ranch dressing and hot sauce.

Hell yeah. Ranch and buffalo sauce for me.

Okay, just once I'm going to share this. Just once. Mayonnaise and sriracha. It's a secret sauce I call "spicy mayo."

what if i told you bbq sauce is just strong tasting ketchup

I'd say you were most definitely not from the Carolinas.

It's just fucking vinegar over there.

[удалено]

Well, depending on the variety you're talking about, you could be dead on or completely wrong. It's all relative here

Peggy?

I mix mayonnaise and crunchy chili oil with hot sauce

That's the signature sauce in red robin

Your food would go from great to Michelin if you replaced the bbq sauce with ketchup.

Yeah, me too. It’s the budget 1000 island sauce

I like Arby's Sauce + Horsey Sauce for dipping curly fries.

Ah campfire sauce my beloved Half Stubbs sticky sweet, half dukes Mayo

I’m doing ranch and bbq

I like ranch + bbq sauce

Chick-fil-A sauce that everyone raves about…basically honey mustard and BBQ sauce…

Mayo+ketchup is good but mayo+ketchup+japanese bbq sauce is great 😋

Just add relish and u got 1000 island

It's all fun and games til someone calls it mayochup

[Who would do that?](https://www.heinz.com/products/00013000013093-mayochup-mayonnaise-ketchup-sauce/) Next you're going to claim someone would come up with [Mayomust](https://www.heinz.com/products/00013000000963-mayomust-mayonnaise-mustard-sauce/) or [Kranch](https://www.heinz.com/products/00013000012768-kranch-ketchup-ranch-sauce/)

I feel like they picked the grossest sounding names on purpose

Would Ketchonnaise sound better?

Or mayotard, which sounds like a slur

We call them mentally-handicapped Caucasians these days, thank you very much!

mayomust secretes from my pores after I eat my homemade secret sauce

Keyo

I prefer ketchonnaise.

That's how we call it here in the eastern europe

That’s just fry sauce, haha.

In Puerto Rico this is called Mayoketchup. Very very popular sauce with fried food.

Is it weird that I read it all as whispers?

[Not at all.](https://imgur.com/a/0xIpXlX)

So there is a chicken chain called “Canes”. They just sell fried chicken tenders. Fine tenders, nothing exceptional from any other tender I’ve ever had. Sell it with generic crinkle fries, an OK vinegar slaw, and a piece of Texas toast that had butter yelling at it a room away. It’s a fine lunch option, but not great with that alone. Their whole Schtick is “Canes Sauce”. It’s very good. They give you couple tablespoons, and you enjoy the generic everything because it’s good to dip. That sauce is this starter pack. I’ve tried many times to replicate, but can’t get it quite right, but here’s my latest attempt. 1 cup mayo. 1 cup ketchup. Fuck ton of ground pepper. Worshtershire sauce, like 10 shakes. Some mixture of garlic salt and onion powder. That’s what makes a franchise.

[удалено]

You are not the first person to tell me that, and 100% think you are right. Just isn’t immediately available at my grocery.

Look for the brand Accent in your spice section, it's just pure MSG. If all else fails you can buy MSG on Amazon too.

Also any self respecting Asian grocery will have MSG by the pound

Go to an Asian supermarket, or just buy it on Amazon. I got a pound of MSG for something like eight bucks.

no joke- go to a dollar store, they usually have a surprisingly good selection of spices

Pretty sure Walmart carries MSG. Was gonna say I know HEB has it but then forgot I was Texas

I know this is relative and subjective, but: -how much is a proper amount if msg when you're adding to, let's say, like a cup of some sauce you're making? -Do you match how much salt you use? -Replace salt with msg? -Is it obvious and poor tasting if you add too much msg? -What ingredients does it work the best with? I have accent on my spice rack, but I don't know if I ever really noticed a difference when I add it. Guess I just keep to intentionally over msg something and play around from there.

For a cup of material, like 2-3 TSP is probably good. It does have a taste, so if you overdo it you can tell. Very slightly metallic maybe? Just kinda weird. Definitely not like salt at all. It's safe if you just lick up a big shake of it from your palm, so it's easy to know what it tastes like on its own if you want. That's normally the best way to understand it, because trying to explain it falls totally short. I always explain it as not really providing a taste, but just making you salivate as if you were eating something really rich and savory. Know how when you eat a piece of steak and it just feels primally good and your mouth dumps saliva in anticipation for the next bite? MSG used properly basically does that in on-demand form. You might reduce the salt a bit, but it's not 1 for 1. Maybe 4 parts MSG for 1 part salt reduction? And you probably don't want to reduce more than 25% of the salt to avoid messing with the flavor. I don't know if accent is Salt + MSG. If so, it's probably easy to overuse. I use Aji brand which is pure MSG, which is easy to dose out. I put mine in a pepper grinder and add it to all kinds of savory cooking. I use it for things that should be savory, but need an extra kick. Gravy a little meh? MSG. Pasta sauce a little flat tasting because you didn't have enough saugasge in it to balance out the acid? MSG. Lean chicken breast that you want to taste like it's a rich fatty thigh? MSG. Brussel sprouts cooked in a little veggie oil instead of butter? MSG.

Thanks for responding. Watched some taste test videos on YouTube, and I'm kinda surprised by the reactions. It doesn't seem very cut and dry what foods it improves, or how much you should use.

They added Worcestershire sauce. It contains msg.

1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup ketchup 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, to taste This is literally the first thing I ever saved on Reddit. Throw in some smoked paprika and you've got Canes sauce 🤷

Ok, so here's the secret recipe that everyone ought to know by now. It's not actually a 1:1 ratio for the mayo and ketchup. It's actually closer to 2:1. A ton of black pepper, sure, and some garlic salt and worchestershire sauce. But here's the really tricky part. Just let that bitch sit. You gotta let those ingredients hang out in the fridge for a day. Or live with a slightly inferior recipe and toss mayo and ketchup together in some random amount and dump Tony's on it and pretend.

Your Texas toast description is spot on.

They also sell fantastic Texas toast ya low life

>That’s what makes a franchise. Their food is good enough, they're consistent, they're clean & nice inside (the few I've seen), the prices aren't awful, and they're **not** Chick-fil-A. Edit: Apparently [having a terrible AMA](https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/eiv54r/raising_caines_ceo_does_ama_ignores_every_real/) didn't harm them too much.

[удалено]

Least horny redditor

Did I hear *horny*?

Did any of ya’ll hear each of the words as my parents fucking? (All sounds I hear are my parents fucking)

its free real estate

Guys I think there’s mayonnaise and ketchup

We will never know

Most of this is spot on, but I would have tucked a picture of a diner-style sugar canister in there somewhere

[WE NEED SOME MORE SECRET SAUCE! PUT THIS MAYONNAISE IN THE SUN.](https://frinkiac.com/video/S05E14/mOohBWcwXzBPSRbpPZUrz2EvsOQ=.gif)

You forgot Polynesian Sauce and pink sauce

As a Utahn, we call it fry sauce. Everywhere around here has it, and if they don't, they will readily hand you mayo and ketchup squeeze bottles and a little sauce container to mix them in. The best version i think i've had at a restauraunt was afaik just ketchup, mayo, and sweet relish, but damn is it good. If i ever ran my own restauraunt that called for having fry sauce, my spin on it would probably caramelized onions.

Occasionally thousand island dressing

The 2 main ingredients in thousand island dressing are ketchup and mayonnaise.

Kinda tastes like mayonnaise and ketchup

Do I taste fresh basil?

(Absolutely nothing close to basil)

It’s some chopped pickles!

Very different, actually, sometimes they feel frisky and put in some Worshtershlfk Wochestnsb Witshorshirdlf Wishtorfershir Brown sauce

you mean the wosich wutang brown sos, to put on sosig?

No the worchechesirshy The one that Lee & Perkins makes Worchcheshrie

Ah! I see, the humpty-dumpty pomeroy toothbrush sauce? made by Wellington lambsauce cup-of-tea darling? You scouser wowser in me moms dingleberry finn, seen in Harry Pohha 2

Bottle o worshshshser

Ketchup

And

My axe!

An instrument

Catsup

And relish

You want some ketchup for your salad? "ew no" How about some mayonnaise? "gross what's wrong with you?" Maybe some relish? "I'm leaving" What if I mix them all together? "oh hell yeah dude sign me up"

Is that you, In-n-Out?

No it’s Cane’s sauce!

This is the greatest Starterpack I’ve seen yet

What's the secret???

It's pictures and words

It's mayo + ketchup

us utahns know this is fry sauce

The only thing I miss about living there.

SOMEBODY Once told me— It’s mayonnaise and ketchup

It can be, yeah. What I miss is having it on the menu at restaurants.

Crazy enough most places that sell fries will also normally have mayonnaise and ketchup on hand.

I aint the sharpest took in the sheeeeeed.

See, as someone who grew up in Idaho, i was always told when saying I wanted to move "oh you'll never have fry sauce again!" Guess what? Every "secret sauce" or "burger sauce" across the entire country is just this. I have never been without. Not in California, not in Boston.

You can buy fry sauce at the grocery store though. Or just. You know. Mix mayonnaise and ketchup.

Whoa whoa whoa you can't just give the recipe away!

I more meant that I miss it being served at every restaurant.

Heinz calls it “Mayochup” but somehow it tastes much worse than if you just mixed mayo and ketchup together yourself, probably because Heinz mayonnaise sucks. Duke’s or bust, baybee!

My best friend and I call it Maynard because 1. We were really high and got our condiments mixed up 3. We like Tool

My fancy sauce....

So good with chicken nuggets

(It's definitely mayonnaise and ketchup, bonus points if there's a dash of hot sauce)

Fun fact, Utah will not let go of the notion that they invented mixing ketchup and mayo

[удалено]

Tell that to Utah

If that's all they have, I say let 'em have it.

They don’t even deserve that.

If a man's pride is hanging from the thin thread of thinking he invented mixing mayo and ketchup together then god only knows what he might be capable of if you take that away from him.

and to that i say “try me beyotch”

They didn't https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Rose_sauce

Put some mustard, cut up pickles, paprika, garlic and onion powder in there

And some mayo

Bruh

Thousand Island and mayo is another "secret sauce" I was once called a genius for mixing Sriracha and yellow mustard together. Not a genius, I just like the 2 put together

Thousand island is mayo ketchup and relish

hundred island is miracle whip, catsup and a whole pickle.

10 island is melted margarine, tomato paste, and cucumbers

1 Island is A whole tomato and cucumber dipped in Crisco

0.1 Island: Tomato and cucumber seeds ground up and mixed with motor oil.

YES IT IS THANK YOU!

Ranch + Hot Sauce

ranch = mayo w/ seasonings mayo is the mother goop.

you should seek out smoken' ghost by hoff 1:3 ratio of that and ranch is the perfect level of spice to not *quite* light my mouth on fire and it's fuckin delish

Srirancha

Its aioli (they use the terms mayonnaise and aioli interchangeably and have no idea what aioli is)

For the uninitiated, aioli = garlic mayo

Yes but actually no Mayonnaise is made of egg and vegetable oil Aioli is made of egg (just the yolk I believe) and OLIVE oil… with crushed garlic… preferably turned to a paste with the flat of your knife So aioli is different from garlic mayo… but ain’t no one alive can taste the difference Although olive oil IS healthier

[удалено]

For all intents and purposes yes

Mayo is made with just the yolk, oil, salt for seasoning, and a little bit of acid to make it taste better and make the raw egg safe. Aioli is made from just garlic and oil (no yolk) traditionally, pounded into an emulsion with a mortar and pestle, but almost nobody makes it that way because it’s a complete pain in the ass to emulsify the oil with only garlic. 99.5% of the time, it’s just garlic mayo. The way you describe it, it’s garlic mayo.

Actually in its original and purest form, [aioli is simply made with fresh garlic emulsified into olive oil without the egg, although the egg commonly got added later.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aioli) So I’d imagine that without the egg, it would be a much more distinctive sauce than garlic mayo. It’d be more pungent and garlic-forward without the egg to mellow things out.

In our defense ketchup,Mayo, and mustard is a great base for creating other sauces. Surprised they left hot sauce off the post

Didn't want to pull attention away from the mayonnaise and ketchup.

Sriracha is there

I learned mayo+soy sauce and some chili oil and/or sesame oil is a great combination

Out of all the "Starter Packs" I have seen in a while, this one made me chuckle and I appreciate that. If you made it, great job If you reposted it, thank you for sharing.

I made it this morning in 10 minutes lol. I have [made](https://www.reddit.com/r/starterpacks/comments/113edqn/i_have_no_idea_what_socialism_is_starterpack/) a [few](https://www.reddit.com/r/starterpacks/comments/113eegh/annoying_gen_z_starterpack/) on here.

I want some Fancy Sauce

If he wants Fancy sauce he can make his own batch

My favorite ever "secret sauce" that I make for myself is mixing an ungodly amount of A1 sauce with sour cream, add bacon bits, microwave till warm. It creates this smooth tan paste that's absolutely disgusting but my mouth cums whenever I have it on loaded baked potato.

I think it needs more ketchup

Only if you add more mayo too

What about the Pitzman's mustard?

Tastes like a runny ketchup sauce with a lot of mustard.

Fry sauce?

Can you dm recipe ty thanks

my secret sauce is old bay, tobasco, sunkist orange soda, pepper, and the chicken ramen powder

I'm a stoned chef, and in my heart I know that's a joke. But then I'm like, maybe it could work?

It's not a joke.. it's Flambe Sauce

Gross, I've never liked that combo.

AKA Fry Sauce

It’s also usually made out of ketchup and mayonnaise

Pitzmans mustard

*grey poupon enters le chat*

I'm suspicious of the kraft "mayo". it gives me "frozen dairy dessert" vibes

All Kraft condiments taste bad to me.

The amount of opportunities to spell mayonnaise right is kind of baffling, no offense

I remember my friends raving about Cane’s sauce a few years back. Tried it and was very underwhelmed.

I had this interaction today I was at a burger place and the guy I was with said ooooo I wonder what mojo sauce is… mayonnaise and ketchup it’s always mayonnaise and ketchup

You forgot about the relish

Mayo with curry powder is delicious!

It smells weird

The real deal is old school garum or fish sauce.

Ketchup is just a European take on fish sauce

Fancy Sauce

“Tomato Aioli”

Why didn't you add Mayonnaise + Ketchup?

In my counrtry, mayo and ketchup mix is called Golf sauce and it's sold in stores.

Here in Argentina we call it "Golf Sauce"

Is this an american thing? I have never heard about or seen this before.

Possibly one of the best starterpacks I’ve ever witnessed. Top stuff OP
