What Is a Condiment?
A condiment is a type of food that is rarely eaten as a principal food during a meal, but is instead often added to another prepared dish to provide increased flavor or texture. There are just about as many different types of condiments as there are different types of food, with various cultures having condiments that are unique or particularly important to the people of that culture. Common examples of condiments include ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, salad dressing, soy sauce, barbecue sauce, relish, salt, and pepper.
