Talk:List of condiments

Condiment Convention

The page states "**Please note that Cream Cheese or any of its variations are not considered condiments by rule of the 1876 International Condiment Convention held in Geneva Switzerland". I can find no other mention of this meeting. May I assume this is a joke? Ace-o-aces2 (talk) 17:53, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Surely Mushy Peas are a side-dish, not a condiment? You would not describe mashed potato or swede as a condiment. The only reason they are mushy is that this is the way you cook that variety of pea. 151.170.240.200 (talk) 16:12, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Coffee and Tea?

"but has shifted in meaning over time to include other small packaged goods such as coffee and tea."

That doesn't make sense to me. I couldn't find any mention of coffee or tea in the reference. Siliconmunky (talk) 19:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I was wondering why no one had noticed that. When you see something like this -- especially after checking the source article -- just be bold and delete the nonsense. This was vandalism added 4 years ago! I have removed it now. Macrakis (talk) 20:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Definition

This article needs a clearer definition, and more rigorous vetting of the listings. For example, the listings for Greek cuisine include Fava, Melitzanosalata, Skordalia, Taramosalata, Tzatziki, and Tirokafteri. Of these, most of them are eaten as independent side dishes or as dips. Tzatziki and skordalia probably qualify as condiments. I don't think that béchamel and béarnaise sauce are normally considered to be condiments, as opposed to sauces. Butter is indeed often added to foods at table, but is it a "condiment"? I think we need a better definition. --Macrakis (talk) 20:59, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
