Hmm, so many condiments, so little space...

A variety of pickles (mango, lemon, garlic, whatever), chili pastes, flakes and sauces, soy sauce, fish sauce, mustards, olive oils....the list goes on and on. I can't possibly pick one, it just depends upon what I am eating and my mood.

Oh yes, I forgot about vinegars. I think have about 11 varieties in my pantry.

Bacon. Yes, it can be a condiment. At least by my rules.

I'm with you on that one. We have similar rules.

Bacon and butter are pretty much all the condiments you need to perk up any dull dish or add more enjoyment to a favorite.

( I sound a great deal like Betty Furness, I better go take a pill. Too much eGullet and fifties tv advertising.)

"Got what backwards?" I ask.

one for taking swigs directly from the bottle when no one else is around!

I have the same problem. Maybe a twelve step group could help.

"Hello. My name is Brooks and I am a worcestershireaholic"

This stuff is a pretty good swig right out of the bottle. I reccomend it.

I should never have to go work in the middle of the night. My posting quality goes right down the tube. :wacko:

Mustard and sriracha, and from the kitchen de Mom bacon, rhubarb sauce, and wild plum jam.

Hopefully soon to add ham hocks in the kitchen de Mom series.

I always attempt to have the ratio of my intelligence to weight ratio be greater than one. But, I am from the midwest. I am sure you can now understand my life's conundrum.

There are racks and racks of condiments in my mise, but if I had to pick one favorite, it would be Crystal Louisiana Hot Sauce. No Tab*sco in this house.

I think some people are getting confused here between 'condiment' and 'ingredient' :hmmm:

My mother used to add both to veggies so that we would eat them. The first time I ate spinach at someone else's house I looked up and said, "Uummmm... where's the bacon?" :huh:

My favorites are guacamole, butter, and cocktail sauce.
