List of condiments

A condiment is a supplemental food, such as gravy, that is added to some foods to impart a particular flavor, enhance its flavor,[1] or in some cultures, to complement the dish but can not stand alone as a dish, for example pickles or bacon. The term originally described pickled or preserved foods, but has shifted meaning over time to include other small packeted goods such as coffee and tea.[2] Many diverse condiments exist in various countries, regions and cultures. This list includes notable worldwide condiments.
