What's more exciting than your own refrigerator of condiments - obviously someone elses!!  I was house sitting and figured i'd take advantage of a couple items i didn't have and then some others i love anyway.  I think i'll be checking out other people's kitchens more often for more options in the near future, it's pretty fun, because there are hundrends of differernt condiments and everyone likes different things and i'm sure the taste testing will get pretty interesting at some point real soon....

This Week's Contestants:

• White & Purple Farmer's Horseradish
  
• Hellmann's Light Mayonnaise
  
• Marie's Lite Chunky Blue Cheese
• House of Tsang: Bangkok Padang Peanut Sauce

I'm a big fan of horseradish period. I was a little discouraged by the date on both bottles, so i didn't eat a whole lot of either, just in case it was spoiled . . . . horseradish kinda smells funky as is so i wouldn't even know what rancid horseradish would taste like . . . . it tasted fine and i am once again here talking about it.

The light mayo was my least favorite. It didn't taste like regular Hellmann's mayo, it just was this synthetic mayo-ish flavor, which could have been what "healthy mayo" is supposed to taste like. I don't believe in healthy mayo alternatives - Have you ever read what's in real mayo?? how can a healthy alternative exist?

I was pleasantly surprised with both the Padang peanut sauce and the thick blue cheese salad dressing. The sweet and salty combination with the Padang was pretty stellar and addictive. The chunky blue cheese was great (if you like blue cheese dressing, try this with buffalo wings or something spicy, it's sooooooo good!).
