This topic reminds me of that Seinfeld episode, where Jerry brings his own maple syrup to the restaurant.

The artisanal ketchup craze swept through DC a few years back, and naturally, our local gastropub joined in. Of course, theirs isn't a patch on Heinz, so we took to bringing a couple of packets along if we ever ordered burgers there.

By the way, does anyone want about a hundred Taco Bell sauce packets? My husband used to have an employee who took as many as he could whenever he went to Taco Bell. Now I have at least one Ziplock bag full of them, maybe more. More than I could ever need. PM me and I'll mail them to you. I suspect Taco Bell doesn't want them back.

cubbie, you might want to reach out to your local soup kitchen to see if they'll take them.

I'll take them all. Are you willing to FedEx overnight them? ;)

While living in China, I carried salt and pepper.

While in Canada, my father in law carried MSG.

It was kind of funny when my father in law started to sprinkle MSG on his food in a Michelin starred restaurant. Chef actually came out to make sure everything was OK, I forgot how to speak English when that happened.

We bring olives onto a flight to have martinis

My mom carries around Maggi seasoning in her purse.

The only thing I would consider is Huy Fong Sriracha.

Brought that srirach and hoisin sauce when we visited Vietnam so we could eat at pho cafes, since the local ones are either positive dreck, will give you food poisoning, or both. We were in heaven.

I do the same with Tabasco for Bloody Marys.I've even had F As borrow it for their own,presumably,Virgin Marys.

I always bring my own maple syrup just like Jerry did.
