Condiment




A condiment is a prepared food, often preserved or fermented, that is added in variable quantities, most often at the table, to the diner's taste.1

Although sometimes considered a condiment, Salt is more strictly a seasoning than a condiment, as it has not been prepared.

Condiments may be served on the side or as a Garnish , for example Sauerkraut may be used as a bed for Schweinshaxen (pork knuckles), or may be added as a topping to a hot dog. When served separately, the amount is usually at the diner's discretion, however condiments may be added prior to serving.

Some condiments may also be used during cooking to add flavour or texture.
