I'd reluctantly vote mustard for sausage, hot dogs and such, but would miss ketchup on my eggs and hash browns.

We serve hot dogs (chips, no fries) at the snack shack I manage and some folks ask for mayo to go with their hot dog. I refuse to be any party to mayo on a hot dog so we don't stock that crap. Plus the mayo would go bad considering we only get a dozen or so requests a year, usually from the Canadians who come down on holiday.

i grew up on mayo on hot dogs... its delicious.


buy some single serve mayo packets, problem solved.
 
The only thing I use ketchup for is french fries, hash browns, and onion rings. I can think of other condiments or ways to prepare those things that would be perfectly adequate. I'd miss a good strong mustard on a brat far more than any of those.
 
Mustard can be easily replaced by horseradish sauce on meats, but you cannot replace ketchup on fries. Even malt vinegar doesn't cut it.
 
Come to think of it, other than pogosticks and hot dogs, I can't think of anything else I use mustard on.

Which reminds me I have not had a good take-out quality pogo in a while. Now I'm hungry for one.

Tabasco is best on fries, with malt vinegar a close second. I've never bought ketchup since I've been out on my own. Every once in a blue moon, I'll put ketchup on fries for something different, but that's because most places haven't acknowledged the magic of Tabasco, Of course, I'll also get ketchup on burgers when that's the way come. I don't care enough to get it removed, but I'll never use it at better burger places, where you tell them exactly what you want.

tl;dr
If ketchup disappeared from earth, I wouldn't notice it was gone.
 
mustard, definitely

i hardly ever eat ketchup anymore, i've replaced it with barbeque sauce which is better in %99 of traditional ketchup use cases
 
also miracle whip is better than mayonnaise

bbq sauce

or a chocolate frosty at wendy's is also fantastic for fry dipping

BBQ sauce is alright, but it's just not the same. I prefer vanilla shakes myself for fry dipping, never really been a huge chocolate ice cream/shake fan. Chicken tenders and ketchup go together well, too.

Hmm... I just had a thought... I wonder if we can get around OP's choice by choosing mustard, but using catsup instead of ketchup.
