Do You Have a Favorite Condiment?

Been dining out in American restaurants for practically all my life, and there are always two condiments you can find on any table: mustard and ketchup (or catsup). That’s what I thought, until I started traveling to various states in the United States.

When I got to Texas, I noticed that, in addition to mustard and ketchup, many restaurants have pickled jalapeno slices in a jar on the table, and you can always ask for salsa. Texans, have Tex-Mex fusion cuisine and they eat salsa with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My taste buds are not fussy; so now that we live in Texas, it was easy to make the adjustment and use jalapenos or salsa as my “extra flavor enhancer” or condiment.

♦ Did a little research to discover what people around the world use as condiments. Ever try Monkey Gland Sauce? It’s popular in South Africa.

NOTE: This post doesn’t really provide cooking tips. It’s about what people like to use to dress up food that’s already been cooked. 

Do you have a certain condiment where you live that you like to put on your food, or that everybody likes to put on their food? Ketchup? Jalapenos? Whatever?
