What is your favourite sauce of the big three :

Ketchup - Arguably the most widespread and common sauce used for flavouring your burgers, BBQ and other dishes. Can be considered the normie basic-guy option from others opinions.

Mustard - The yin to Ketchups yang, also widespread in dishes previously mentioned in Ketchup section, either exclusively used or paired with Ketchup combining the flavouring.

Brown Sauce - HP, Daddies etc this sauce is pretty popular in the UK (Where I live) and goes great on chips/fries and prior dish mentioning.

It is also a cardinal rule to be put into bacon sandwiches among the brown sauce community.

Brown sauce? Please, that's only a thing in Britain. The only sauce which defies national borders and cultures is mustard .

Ketchup is a western sauce. Mayo is an JP/K sauce. Hot sauce isn't even mentioned but is more widespread than brown sauce.

Mayo is an JP/K sauce

Offended Dutch noises. (And most of western Europe).

Oh, so true. I didn't want to assume any Continental tastes because it is so varied, but ketchup and mayo are absolutely a European sauce. Thanks for the reminder.
