Big Flavor Begins Here
The person who pointed out that good things come in small
packages could have been speaking of condiments. Whether
they’re spread on sandwiches, drizzled on french fries, squirted
on hot dogs, or served as a side for dipping, condiments
make up only a small portion of any meal. But, when it comes
to flavor and character, they can make all the difference.
Condiments, much like exotic spices and seasonings, are flavor
enhancers that your recipes—and your customers—can’t live
without. Chicken nuggets seem naked without a dressing or dipping
sauce, and everything from toast to dinner rolls taste better with a
dose of jelly or jam. Condiments also lend ethnic dishes an extra
layer of complexity and boldness that help them stand out.
With a bit of imagination, condiments can be turned into something
special that sets your menu apart. Mayo with a dash of heat or an
unexpected sauce combination can turn a good sandwich or appetizer
into a crowd-pleaser, something that can drive repeat business.
Yes, condiments sometimes come in small packages or make
up a small part of the plate, but they are a big deal.
