Mustard or ketchup?

Okay you’re on a climbing trip and spending two weeks at a climbing destination but you’ve only got enough money left for mustard or ketchup. What do you choose? Don’t make it complicated it can be any mustard or ketchup. 

Mustard

Ketchup. I feel like there are more things that ketchup is socially acceptable to put on than mustard.

Most definitely ketchup.   It’s a well rounded condiment and delicious on everything from scrambled eggs to fancy French fries.  
Mustard can’t hang and cover that gap! 

Catsup hands down! Mustard is meat only. 

(For my tastes)

Not true!!! Mustard goes very well with certain cheeses, gerkins, and don't forget about pretzels!!!

Mustard makes a fantastic base for homemade salad dressing. Some mustard, olive oil, salt and pepper? Maybe some paprika? Baby you got a stew goin.

Mayo.

I said what I said.

I don’t even use mustard as an emulsion base for  salad dressings at home.

Ketchup - actually has calories in it, can be useful. It’s also better

Homies are literally insane. When's the last time you used ketchup in a good sauce?? Mustard obviously. 

Ketchup is a child’s condiment. If your climbing destination is the jungle gym, then get yourself some ketchup. Otherwise, mustard 4 lyfe.

Ok, the answer is mustard.  Now the deeper question is what sort of person writes Catsup over  Ketchup ?

Mustard takes the lead but the other condiment is catching up! 

Some unexpected levels of sophistication

If we're limited to funds for one condiment, I doubt good sauces are on the menu.

Also, the right answer is peanut butter

Mustard

Ranch

I really would have loved to see your answer be anything but your namesake 

I’d say next time you go to the gas station, grab a handful of packets of each in the deli. Then spend your condiment budget on a store-brand sriracha knockoff…

You’re right, I totally caved to the pressure exerted by my surname. Sriracha mayo is a pretty important food group in my life.

Doesn't Mustard have anti-inflammatory properties?

And Ketchup, being made of tomatoes, have inflammatory properties?
