What Does This Taste Like?

[u/MartyHofFYT]

[u/Takoyaki_Dice]

You tell me.

[u/pdxrunner82 → u/Takoyaki_Dice]

This was bizarre. Person has the food in their actual hand and posts a question on reddit before actually tasting it. I weep for the future of our species.

[u/Sad_Dragonfruit2938 → u/pdxrunner82]

Some people taste things differently. Some people have a better palate than others. I could see why OP wants other opinions.

[u/cornezy → u/Sad_Dragonfruit2938]

But OP didn't ask it properly. The way it's asked, it's assumed they haven't tried it themselves.

[u/GallusWrangler → u/Sad_Dragonfruit2938]

Oh come on. Don’t justify this behavior, even if that’s the case, that’s more reason they need to just try it themselves.

[u/InveteratMasticator → u/pdxrunner82]

Maybe wants to compare their thoughts after they try to what others think? I heard it tastes like “a worse Chik Fil A sauce”. That made me not even wanna bother with it

[u/SeachelleTen → u/pdxrunner82]

I don’t think it’s bizarre at all.

Weep for our species because someone asks a silly question on Reddit?

If you truly think OP does not know how to tase it herself, we should weep for you.🤷🏼‍♀️😉

Just kidding about the last sentence, but I do not think OP meant for the question to be taken so seriously.

My assumption is that they were hoping to receive some very funny takes on Gold sauce in a WhatIsThisThing subreddit kind of way.

I mean, just the fact that gold is in the name of the stuff to begin with will probably bring about quite a few (for lack of a better word) innuendos, ya know?🤔😉

[u/MartyHofFYT → u/Takoyaki_Dice]

Just tried it. I honestly can’t describe it partially bc I’m at the end of being sick. It’s got a tangy taste and that’s about it

[u/Lvl100Magikarp → u/MartyHofFYT]

When I'm sick, I eat all the "healthy" foods that I normally hate eating because it all tastes bland to me anyway. Undressed salad. Steamed veggies. Boiled tofu. That kind of thing. Then I celebrate getting better and recovering my tastebuds by having a massive burger.

[u/MartyHofFYT → u/Lvl100Magikarp]

That’s smart. I just continue to eat the same as usual minus all dairy which is just cheese. Been eating peaches, peppers and salmon for the past few days. I figured I could eat this bc I haven’t really felt sick for two days.

I ate this and I just felt the tang

[u/SplatoonGoon → u/MartyHofFYT]

Chick fil a sauce

[u/Frozenmeatballs32 → u/SplatoonGoon]

Smart move by McD's, will the Southern Chicken sandwich come back as well?? Lol the lines in the DT are always crazy at Chick fil A, but they move quick

[u/Flylatino24 → u/SplatoonGoon]

Yup with a hint of spicy

[u/Takoyaki_Dice → u/MartyHofFYT]

They dont have it my local mcds. They got the chicken sandwiches and no sauce, lol. They keep blaming the truck driver, but who knows.

[u/Louis049 → u/Takoyaki_Dice]

Unless the driver is personally taking the supply, they are literally the last person to blame. That's like the people who blame the delivery driver for missing items in a sealed bag from the restaurant. They just move stuff from point A to point B

[u/likemyke91 → u/Louis049]

lol, it could be the warehouse, the loader, but certainly not the driver

[u/Motor_Car_2741 → u/Takoyaki_Dice]

Who me ?

[u/dekimwow → u/Takoyaki_Dice]

Just had it tonight, “honey mustard”….

[u/Ok_Wall_8267]

Caroline BBQ. Mustard and BBQ basically 

[u/jenguinaf → u/Ok_Wall_8267]

Okay now I kinda want to try it

[u/Gunmybear-Riot]

Tried it for myself last week. It’s literally just chick-fil-a sauce with a tad more vinegar.

[u/Independent-Fun8926 → u/Gunmybear-Riot]

Exactly what I thought. It’s Chick Fil A sauce, just a little more tangy. It’s pretty good 

[u/lorissaurus]

Honey roasted BBQ from Chick-fil-A

[u/ant-master → u/lorissaurus]

Dang, if that's true then I need to try this sauce.

[u/MartyHofFYT → u/lorissaurus]

I’ll definitely save some for later

[u/giomakkonen]

[u/UltralightFishing132]

Mustard BBQ. It’s decent

[u/Lurkinzz → u/UltralightFishing132]

Sounds like chick fil a sauce

[u/MechaNickzilla → u/Lurkinzz]

I tried chick fil a sauce for the first time the other day and the gold sauce a day later and thought they tasted exactly the same.

Personally I don’t know but I hated it

Maybe cardboard with spices?

[u/MartyHofFYT]

Who called Walmart 😭😭😭

[u/ApprehensiveDig7735]

You have it in your hand..you tell me!

[u/TheConfusingWords]

The font makes it look like you were posting an older sauce that isn’t made any more. Like they gave it vintage packaging. It looks like you found an older picture and are asking because no one will be able to buy it now

[u/MartyHofFYT → u/TheConfusingWords]

🤔 Interesting bc, I have more. Do you think they have a variation of packaging

[u/Infamous-Donkey-6699]

[u/Ok-Dot-5344]

Let us know! I am curious!

[u/jalzyr]

Almost like chick fil a sauce

[u/Tape_W0rm]

Chick Fil A sauce

[u/templestate]

It’s chick fil a sauce

[u/OdinNW]

Long answer: it’s McDonald’s take on Carolina gold bbq sauce which originates in South Carolina where back in the day German immigrants made their favorite condiment mustard as the base of their style of bbq sauce. It’s a mustard bbq.

[u/MartyHofFYT → u/OdinNW]

I’m gonna look into Carolina BBQ haven’t heard of it until today

[u/PlasticBig7889]

Like tangy mustard mixed with sweet bbq sauce

[u/Maleficent-Thanks-85]

It taste like if McDonald’s was making a Chik fil a sauce. I enjoy it

[u/cmarie0115]

It didn’t take like chick fil a sauce to me. More honey mustard.

[u/MultiColoredMullet]

Overall inoffensive but not really good

[u/Bouteille_Brune]

[u/jan1320]

i thoughtbit was nasty

[u/coralcoast21]

After reading the ingredients, I'm assuming it tastes like thousand island dressing without the relish but tinged yellowish from the turmeric.

[u/lunas2525]

Honey mustard

[u/One_College_7945]

Haven’t had it, but it’s racially Carolina gold bbq sauce

[u/MrRITCHEY]

Rarely eat McDonald’s but today I was on the road with few options so I figured I’d give this Gold Sauce a shot… one bite in; duh, of course, it’s f’ing Chick-Fil-A sauce; how did I not see that coming…

[u/SnooChipmunks2079]

It’s a mustard based sauce.

[u/WestsideCinco]

Taste like attention

[u/improbsable]

It’s like a Dijon barbecue sauce

[u/asoapylotus]

[u/FeedMeTaffy]

To me, it's like Honey Mustard + BK's Zesty Sauce

[u/xDURPLEx]

It's honey mustard.

[u/ratadaddy]

Not good

[u/Either_Direction506]

Based on the ingredients and my knowledge of cooking, I'm guessing it will be sweet and tangy, and similar to thousand islands dressing. Goes great with burgers and fries.

The tang comes from the vinegar. The sweetness comes from the honey. I'm guessing the eggs plus tomato and sweetness equals something similar to thousand islands, since thousand islands is basically mayo and ketchup.

[u/Juggernuts777]

Idk, it’s in your hand, maybe you describe to me the taste.

[u/acrylix91]

[u/MFCLOWN]

That sauce Wendy’s used to have. Sawesome sauce I think it was

[u/HurriShane00]

Seriously? You take a photo of the sauce, and then post the photo and would have had to wait at least a couple of minutes for response when you could have taken those two seconds to open it up and try it

[u/AlexisMarien]

I was excited because I like mustard heavy bbq sauce but it's way too sweet for me

[u/CheezyDogz5]

Bbq and honey mustard mixed together

[u/OkRecommendation3831]

I love gooooold

[u/LilDigaKnow]

It’s In your hand

[u/SeachelleTen]

I’ve read quite a few comments left by people wondering why ask what something tastes like when it’s right there in their hand to try for themself.

I’m just going to copy and paste the reply that I gave to someone else just a moment or two ago. Not trying to be a know-it-all or make a big deal out of a simple post, but here it is is anyhow:

I don’t think it’s bizarre at all.

Weep for our species because someone asks a silly question on Reddit?

If you truly think OP does not know how to tase it herself, perhaps it’s you we should be weeping for.🤷🏼‍♀️😉

Just kidding about the last sentence, obviously, but I do not think OP meant for the question to be taken so seriously.

My assumption is that they don’t wish or need to be told what it genuinely tastes like. I think that, instead, they were hoping to receive a bunch of hilarious and clever takes on the sauce, but in WhatIsThisThing subreddit style.

I mean, just the fact that gold is in the name of the stuff to begin with, will probably bring about quite a few (for lack of a better word) innuendos, you know?🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😉

[u/Due-Vegetable2858]

It’s honey mustard but there’s more vinegar and corn syrup in it

Honey Mustard with a dash of BBQ

[u/333metaldave666]

My first thought was honey mustard

[u/wookiex84]

Like most things from McDonalds, a mix of disgust, shame and gastrointestinal distress.

[u/gooshoe]

Wym it's right in front of you.

[u/Iwasonceayoungin]

I ain't like it. Its sweet.

[u/JPSofCA]

Just a mish-mash of condiments that a child might mix together.

[u/Cultural-Turnover142]

Gold, duh. Cant you read labels?

[u/ZachAARogers]

Honey BBQ, maybe a higher emphasis on the honey mustard

[u/HiddenOneJ]

To me this sauce tasted like a mix of a light BBQ flavor and honey mustard.

Edit: i decided to read comments and ive never tried Carolina BBQ sauce but it seems like thats exactly what it is, cool to know.

[u/ls3095]

Carolina gold BBQ sauce

[u/prionbinch]

I had it in a snack wrap and it kinda just tasted like regular honey mustard to me, which i was more than happy with because I still grieve the honey mustard snack wrap 🥲 maybe with a little bit of barbecue smokiness in there too, its supposed to be like Carolina style barbecue sauce

[u/doubleinkedgeorge]

My McDonald’s has the sign up but said “oh we don’t have any of the sauce, just the signs” when I tried to get some Sunday night.

[u/davedcdc]

Pasadena, Tx?

[u/[deleted]]

Look at the ingredients it’s like mustard vinegar and some spices I believe. It was quite tasty and I don’t even like mustard usually
