When I just took the poll, "sacrilege" was the #1 pick for *all* the
questions. I don't get all that worked up about it, so I chose "depends on
mood" for the mustard and Miracle Whip questions, and "doesn't appeal to me"
for ketchup.

Perhaps a more interesting way of framing the questions would have been, "If
you were visiting the home of a friend, and that friend served you a BLT
with mustard on it, would you eat it?"

The answers could be:

- No! It's sacrilege!
- No; I'd gag and be unable to eat it.
- I'd eat it, but try to enlighten my friend as to the *right* condiments
for a BLT
- Sure, I'm not picky
- Yes, I like it that way
- Depends on whether the friendship has benefits
