Why not continue this condiment saga?
I have many Dutch readers. I don't know why, really. They are just there.
The Dutch, traditionally, if one can call such a thing traditional in Holland, put mayonnaise, if anything, on French fries, or pomme frites. I am sure it has a long and chequered history.
Americans, Philistines that they always were, have long poured catsup on them.
What I am going to suggest is that some Dutch might add a little catsup to their mayonnaise, for pomme frites; and that some Americans, not many, might add a little mayonnaise to their catsup, for french fries.
My own personal preference, for such culinary innovations, might involve adding a little mustard to mayonnaise for pomme frites, if catsup were too roguish a concept for the Dutch. I would suggest adding a fair amount of mayonnaise to catsup for american french fries. These are just my thoughts.
The types and quantities of mustard, catsup, and mayonnaise are of course, subject to individual creative improvisational flair.
Call me irresponsible, but I would suggest, if you happen to use steak sauce, that you mix mayonnaise, made the way you want, with various prepared steak sauces on the market. You can also make steak sauce yourself; it would not be that hard....
One thinks of the traditional Lea & Perrins, McCormick, HP, A-1, 57, Worcestershire, etc.
I would not ruin a really good steak this way, but many, down through the ages, have. Frankly, I wouldn't even use a bearnaise, even if I bothered to make one...
