Condiment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A condiment is a substance applied to food, usually in the form of a garnish, powder, or spread, to enhance or improve the flavor. Condiments are typically smeared with knives, squirted or sprinkled onto other foods.
Commercially prepared condiments are usually packaged in glass or plastic containers. Plastic has displaced glass in a number of applications where plastic's squeezability is an advantage, such as for mustard, mayonnaise, and other condiments with a paste-like consistency.
In some commercial venues, such as airplanes and fast food restaurants, condiments are packaged in single-serving packets.
