Well, I have a nice list of ingredients here, and I'd like to know how to make the best dipping sauce with what I've got. Preferably for Banquet Chicken Tenders. I've experimented myself with nearly all of it, but I want to know if SEN can give me a perfect combination for something unique.

Here's the list of what I've got to play with:

Ketchup
Mustard
Mayo
Chipotle Mayo
AI Steak Sauce
Hot Sauce
Gourmet Mild Hot Sauce
Chopped Jalapenos
Bread & Butter Chips
Dill Pickles
Strawberry Jam
Ranch Dressing
Salt
Sea Salt
Sea Salt in a Grinder
Garlic Salt
Lemon Pepper with Seasoning Salt
Cajun Seasoning
Memphis Style Barbecue Seasoning
Parmesan Cheese
Allspice
Chili Powder
Ground Sage
Cinnamon
Ginger
Adobo Seasoning
Old Bay Seasoning
Paprika
Garlic Powder
Vinegar with Red Wine
Steak Spice
Nutmeg
Italian Seasoning
Worcestershire Sauce
Garlic & Pepper Seasoning

So, what interesting flavors can I make? I'll accept anything as long as it's not lethal. (Lethally delicious. Lame joke. Win.)

Some great recipes for you

General info


A simple sauce is honey and dijjon mustard which goes great with some meats.

It will help if you state whether its for marinating or simple dipping sauce.

Best cooking advice ever, transparent for spoiler:

Take an ingredient, mix with another ingredient. taste. If it tastes like crap, try again!

well sometimes experimenting is how you come up with things.
That or a cooking book/show

All you need is 1 pack of onion soup (dry, pulverized) and 500g (could be wrong on the amount) sour cream and you have a perfect dip for crackers, bread and alike.

You have parmesian, all you need is cream, butter, and a bit of flour to make alfredo sauce. A bit of basil and garlic is optional.

Nutmeg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, lime zest, and sugar make a pretty good desert flavored treat. Mix it with heavy whipping cream and whip it, should be tantalizing on most desert dishes.

If we're not talking just for chicken tenders, make some fry sauce. It's about a one-to-one ratio of ketchup to mayo, depending on how you like it, and just a dab of mustard to add a little zing. (If you're using about as much ketchup as would be in one or two ketchup packets, use about as much mustard as you use toothpaste for one tooth-brushing.) Win.

I've heard of fry sauce before but i've never tried it

Is it typically an american thing to call Ketchup, Mayonnaise, Steak Sauce and Ranch Sauce etc as 'ingredients'?

You see, for me, mayonnaise is 300ml oil, 2 egg yolks, crushed garlic, full teaspoon of powdered english mustard, half teaspoon of salt, and a drop of vinegar.
Similarly, (mexican) ketchup is finely sliced green onions, chopped chipotle peppers, 1 chopped jalapeno, 2 cloves of crushed garlic, salt, and about 12 tomatoes (stewed, strained and mashed), with a drop of olive oil.
^ Those are real ingredients.

Get out of here with your sauces. Beehatch.

Edit: Make a lebanese garlic sauce for the chikahn. Real simple: 4 whole bunches of garlic, seperated and peeled (duhh). 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 100ml), 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3 cups of olive oil (about 300ml). Throw it all in a blender and whizz it until its, y'know, like a sauce for dipping shit into. Yum.

You're annoying, you know that?

In some cases it might be easier to substitute one of them above in a recipe if you don't have the raw ingredients.

Personally, I dislike most prepackaged sauces, especially mayo. When I see it in a recipe I usually substitute it with sour cream :X

Actually, I think it's a typical thing in general. I say, "I have some hotdogs and some bread," not, "I have a mixed combination of beef, pork, chicken, turkey, cereal filler and possibly raccoon. I also have flour, shortening and yeast." A lot of recipes will call for things like mayonnaise (see, for example, tuna salad).

You're not missing much. Apparently, "true" fry sauce here also has buttermilk in it.

We've even gone as far as using A&W root beer as an ingredient. http://www.razzledazzlerecipes.com/memorialday/aw-baked-beans.htm

Steak Sauce and Ranch are by far two staple ingredients to any good dip or seasoning though, so yes.

b b b but we were doing so well

I was just generally curious. For a thread entitled culinary creations which lists us a few spices, three variations of salt and a tonne of pre-made sauces - I was expecting, I dunno, more on the culinary side of things.

But then again, Blur's previous thread was about making money online

No, numbskull, I'd call it more of a bachelor frog trait then an American trait. :rollseyes:

The entire list. I challenge thee.

I've done the entire list already, actually. It tastes really good, which was a surprise.
I appreciate everyone's responses, though I was asking for something interesting with this list here. No, they're not actual ingredients, just random things around my house that might give a good taste. Let me remember some things I've experimented with.

Will edit in later. Memory is failing atm.

(If I ever have the ingredients, I'll try everything listed here.)

Fry sauce is a southwestern thing, and maybe even more localized than that (except for word is spreading so it is becoming less foreign to outsiders). Also it is ketchup+mayo, barbeque sauce+mayo, or other combinations like that. You don't put everything in... unless you are a certain type of person ...

You don't have soy sauce on that list. You should use soy sauce.

Also, have you ever made a home made cheese sauce? It can be used for anything from pasta to chip dip.
