Everything about Condiments totally explained
A
condiment is a prepared edible substance or mixture, often
preserved or
fermented, that's added in variable quantities, most often at the table, to make food more suitable to the diner's taste. Some condiments are dry such as a mixture of
herbs and seasonings or
Parmesan cheese, however many are preserved
sauces that have been put into a bottle, jar, or other container. For convenience, some condiments are provided in single-serving packets often with
take-out foods.
Condiments are most supposed to be eaten with the supplement of other food. They may be served
on the side or as a
garnish, like
sauerkraut, which can be used as a bed for Schweinshaxen (pork knuckles) or as a topping for a hot dog. When served separately, the amount is usually at the diner's discretion, however condiments may be added prior to serving, for example a
deli sandwich made with
mayonnaise and
mustard. Some condiments may also be used during cooking to add flavor or texture to the food; for example,
barbecue sauce,
teriyaki sauce, and
soy sauce all have flavors that can enhance the tastes of a variety of different meats and vegetables. Bacon or bacon bits can be perceived as condiments at some restaurants.
Although sometimes considered a condiment,
salt is more strictly considered as a seasoning, as salt doesn't come 'prepared' like most condiments do.
