    Condiment? mustard. I have about 7 different types. Worcestershire sauce is a distant second

    Spice? good old black pepper, freshly ground

    Herb? Thyme (fresh)

    Seasoning? California pepper from Penzeys which is a mix of black pepper with red and green bell peppers.

    OP's condiment is great, but more generally I will nominate any interesting mustards and hot sauces (including sriracha). Also a Chicago favorite, giardiniera. And definitely, soy sauce. If olive oil and vinegars count, them too.

    As always, I recommend a visit to the Mustard Museum: https://store.mustardmuseum.com/

    Yes, any spice and herbs too.

    I love yellow mustard (French's) & stone-ground mustards. I'm also a hot sauce fanatic and regularly have at least 5 different hot sauces in my fridge. My go-to sauces are Cholula Original Hot Sauce and Trader Joe's Green Dragon Hot Sauce.

    As far as a seasonings go, garlic powder is awesome. If you want a blend, I would suggest Trader Joe's "Everything but the Bagel" or Tone's Rosemary Garlic.

    Plain old iodized sea salt is just enough sometimes too
    Wasabi sauce once in a blue moon
    Dieted way too hard using Frank's red hot (can't bring myself to consume...memories, lol)

    So you are a graduate of Poupon U ? Yes, the museum is an experience. They make a horseradish mustard that will almost blow your head off.

    To say something other than mustard (which is my recommendation too), I also with do taco sauce/salsa with cumin, black pepper, a lil' liquid smoke, or red pepper flakes as a topper/spicer-upper.

    I LOVE condiments/dressings. My current favorite is Frenchs Honey Mustard. 10 calories per tsp (1g carb). I put 2tsp on my salmon after I bake it-so good!

    Not sure it's considered a condiment, but these are good seasonings at only about 10 calories per teaspoon.od9wc2q56nu6.png

    Does miso count as a condiment? I use sweet white or hacho miso all the time to add richness and flavor (not to mention salt ;) ) to foods.

    And most of the things others have mentioned: Many vinegars, fermented chili paste, toasted sesame oil, mustard . . . .

    Hot sauce

    It can be used on so many things and mixed into other items to change up the flavors. It's really good mixed in with some ketchup or plain Greek yogurt or sweet chili sauce or BBQ sauce or add a couple drops of sesame oil and some soy sauce, etc.

    So many uses

    Condiments are just about bursting out of my fridge, and now I see this page. I might have to get rid of some condiments to make room for some of these. I see lots of grainy mustards there, which I like. I love Grey Poupon's Country Dijon.

    Oddly, my favorite condiment is ketchup. It can fix nearly anything. :smiley:

    I love Penzey's Greek Seasoning and use it quite a lot.

    It has to be Whole Foods 365 Organic Yellow Mustard. I was never a yellow mustard fan, for me it had to be, well, any other kind. I bought it for my husband who only likes yellow mustard, and out of curiosity, I tasted it. It actually has flavor! It is really good.

    I'm currently binging on berbere seasoning. Yum.

    MMMMM, berbere. My winter breakfast has been Cuban rice & beans with an egg, but with the last batch I used berbere instead - yum!

    Some reviewers complain that this is not authentically Ethiopian; others disagree; some say Ethiopians add more heat; I have no basis for comparison and love it.

    https://smile.amazon.com/Frontier-Berbere-Seasoning-ORGANIC-Bottle/dp/B005WDVQHG/

    81NjdJnN43L._SY679_.jpg

    Ingredients
    Paprika, Sea Salt, Cayenne, Fenugreek, Coriander, Cumin, Black Pepper, Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Turmeric (all organic but the salt)

    Directions
    Suggested Use: Combine 1 cup uncooked lentils, 3 cups water, 1 lb cooked meat or tofu, 2 Tbsp seasoning, 14.5oz diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil, simmer about 1 hour, or until lentils are tender.
