Condiments

The only way you can get someone to chomp on a hotdog is to drown it in flavor. While chili-dogs are great and sauerkraut is nice, the most common way to get the job done is with relish, mustard, or ketchup. For mexico they add salsa and chipotle, in Canada they use syrup, in Japan it's soy sauce, Italy uses marinara, and Thailand uses something called Budu which is made from anchovies. These are all condiments, which are the best little ace in your sleeve for a meal you can't stomach. Bad burger? Pass the ketchup. Not liking those fish and chips? Tartar sauce to the rescue. Shrimp cocktails wouldn't be complete without cocktail sauce, and Chick-Fil-A wouldn't be as tasty without it's polynesian sauce. In short, as if this paragraph wasn't already, condiments add some pizzaz to other foods that need some color. Color is key. You don't put anything on fruit or candy cause it's bright enough, but rice is dull without a little help from the condiment shelf. Happy Eatings.
