Good American condiments & tracklements, do they exist?

[Firky]

I got chatting to this American woman in a bar yesterday, I was munching on a bacon butty and was a bit miffed that they didn't have any HP sauce left. Cut a long story short, this woman overheard me and recommended that I try some New York Steakhouse Sauce. Like HP sauce but spicier and richer she said.

It is disgusting. It tastes like very sweet vinegary liquorice and has no body or layers of flavours. It was as disappointing as their "yellow mustard". Is it just Heinz tomato sauce that is any good, or are their good sauces out there?

Nearly ruined my bacon butty that morning

I bet they have loads of good chilli sauces, you know, tex mex style. The vinegary kind.

I like US mustard, if it's not too sweet. They do BBQ sauces well too - lots of regional variants.

tabasco's widely praised.

Brown sauce is still a stain on the soul of humanity.

BBQ Sauce is OK if it is smokey

Cocktail sauce = marie-sauce? That's British I think. Like coronation chicken.

Marie Rose sauce (known in some areas as cocktail sauce, seafood sauce, ketchyo, maychup, ketchanaise, burger sauce, fancy sauce or dip) is a Britishcondiment made from a blend of ketchup and mayonnaise, although it can have other ingredients as well. It is often used with seafood, and prawns in particular.

I thought it was ketchup, horseradish and lemon juice?
Maybe there are several types.

yes, this is what I mean. Well, that is what we call cocktail sauce in any case.

Nutella is even nicer on its own.

There's loads of variations, I always add chilli sauce too but never lemon juice.

Some of the cajun sauces look good, I wonder if they're available over here?

Any sort of chilli/BBQ sauce, I'd imagine. My Texan mate sent me some sweet BBQ that was fucking amazing, used the whole damn jar in a week.
