if you could only use one condiment for the rest of your life....

[gooseman]

ketchup no questions asked.

This.

 

[nageov3t]

couldn't you turn mayo into an approximation of either ketchup or mustard with the right seasonings?

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Honey mustard vinaigrette.

 

[KeypoX]

[sandorski]

Salsa, it can go on anything that Ketchup is good for, but Ketchup is no good for everything Salsa is good for(Burritos for eg).

Protip: Salt and Pepper are not condiments

Protip: Salt and Pepper are not condiments

A condiment is a relish, sauce, or seasoning added to food to impart a particular flavour or to complement the dish. Often pungent in flavour and therefore added in fairly small quantities, popular condiments include salt, pepper, ketchup, mustard, olive oil, vinegar and sugar



Wikipedia says it is... and i believe wikipedia.

 

[Adrenaline]

Tabasco hot sauce

A tossup between this and ketchup. I think I would choose this.

Weakipedia is wrong.

I disagree with wikipedia... I wouldn't consider any dried seasoning to be a condiment.

I tend to agree I consider a condiment something added to a food after its been prepared.

That's how I differentiate them. A cook adds spices, and the end user adds condiments.

Well.. too bad. Alton Brown considers Salt a condiment...

BYOC [Bring Your Own Condiments]. I'm traveling with kosher salt, which I cannot live without. I have some hot sauce, a favorite brand of mine out of Louisiana called Louisiana Gold. I've got some pepper, a pepper grinder. I've also got a small kit of spices that includes everything from cinnamon to curry powder. But by and large, we are treating our food very, very, simply—and we never take anything in with us when we go into a restaurant.

Here are my top three if we include salt and pepper:

1. Salt
2. Pepper
3. Honey

If peanut butter is considered, I might have to make it #3.

 

[Locut0s]

Yes salt and pepper ARE condiments. However I agree that's no longer the way we usually define the term.

 

[fatpat268]

American yellow mustard without a doubt.

 

[ahenkel]

I would say if its an integral part of a recipe it should not be considered a condiment. It should only be considered a condiment if its application is totally unnecessary to the completion of said item. Examples mayo in tuna salad, or deviled eggs, ketchup in meatloaf, or peanut butter and jelly in a sandwich.

Agreed but these items still fall into the condiment category because generally they are used as "accessories". Only in these specific cases they may not be considered a condiment.

thousand island. useable as ketchup (for burgers and fries), but also useable as salad dressing. delicious.

 

[KillerCharlie]

BBQ sauce - you can use it in place of ketchup for everything, yet there are even more things you can use it for.

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

HP Fruity sauce

 

[DT4K]

I'll give you some of those, but seafood, pizza, and pasta?

Not sure bbq sauce sounds good with pizza or pasta. But seafood, absolutely. Grilled salmon, brushed with bbq sauce = delicious.

My pick would be sweet red chili sauce. Perfect with egg rolls, asian noodle dishes, burgers, chicken, meatballs, etc., etc., etc.
