Condiments are strange. In the land of passionate home cooking, there is often a certain kind of snootiness that makes every meal feels like the start of an Ina Garten meme. As if not making your own everything somehow makes you lesser-than. I do not subscribe to this snobbery. I only ever want the things I am eating to be the most delicious version of themselves, and so, if that means making it from scratch, and I have the time, I make from scratch. But if that means using a store-bought version? There is no shame in that game.
I do have what I think of as my condiment commandments, basic rules that state that there are certain things which are simply pretty much always better if homemade, and some which are decidedly better when not. I share them with you, not because they should necessarily be your own rules, but because I like to believe that the thinking behind them is sound.
Mayonnaise is a tough one.

I’m a middle-of-the-road sort of home cook. I do not have a slavish devotion to either organic or local, although I will choose those if presented with the option

Everyone in the family liked this. Made a jalapeno free one with minimal guacamole for super picky 7 year old and he loved it too! Tastes like a lot more effort was needed to make it too, as its so simple. Usually shove a bit of lettuce into the bun and make some sweet potato chips to go with them.
