Condiment

Salt, sugar, and ground black pepper corns are commonly placed on Western restaurant tables.

A condiment is an edible substance, such as a sauce, that is added to some foods to impart a particular flavor, enhance its flavor,^[1] or in some cultures, to complement the dish. The term originally described pickled or preserved foods, but has shifted meaning over time.^[2]

Many condiments are available packaged in single-serving sachets (packets), like mustard or ketchup, particularly when supplied with take-out or fast-food meals. Condiments are usually applied by the diner. Condiments are sometimes added prior to serving, for example a sandwich made with ketchup or mustard. Some condiments are used during cooking to add flavor or texture to the food; barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, marmite are examples.
