For me, peanut sauce. It works on pasta, stir fry, chicken, bananas, and ice cream. A winner is me if I has peanut sauce. ---

White sauce. I can reduce it, thin it, add any number of different flavorings/herbs/spices to it. It would never get old. ---

I strolled into class with eggs covered in brown goo, so I told my students that the phrase “Everything’s better with BBQ Sauce” could be on the final. ---

Sweet Chili Sauce. While I like sriracha a lot, and that popped into my head first, I’m not always in the mood for the level of spice it brings in amounts that would be dipped, such as with fries and chicken finger type foods. With sweet chili sauce, I’ve also made a pasta sauce and salad dressing, so for me, it’s a little more versatile. ---

Sriracha! I eat it with everything except cereal and ice cream. I tried it with both, and they are the only two foods I’ve found that don’t taste better with Sriracha. ---
