Condiment

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 ketchup, 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.
Examples of condiments include:
- Bacon, often called "bacon bits"
