The world of condiments reaches far beyond ketchup , and even much further than your mustards and hot sauces. It's a vast and varied terrain of flavor-boosters, from sinus-clearing wasabi to cooling mint sauce.
What defines a condiment is simply that it imparts flavor onto another food -- it could be a dip, sauce or a paste. Whether they're sweet, sour, salty, spicy, or umami, condiments and other scrumptious accompaniments deserve kudos for enlivening entrées and sides alike. Whatever it is, a condiment isn't usually eaten by itself. But it always makes our meals complete.
