Costacat | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:09 pm     In my "pantry," condiments are things that go on something. Like, say, mayo is a condiment. Pickle relish is a condiment. Items such as garlic or sugar are really considered staples. So when BB says "condiments" d'ya think they really mean "staples?" What would you consider to be "staples" and what would you consider to be "condiments"? |
Seanflynn2003 | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:11 pm     All I know is that with this group I hope condoms are staples. |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:11 pm     I couldn't live without my pickle relish. I would have to consider that a staple! LOL I would hope to all get out I could at least have mayo. |
Lurknomore | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:12 pm     Now lately I'd consider Bellini's a staple...so they should permit those! |
Cangaroo | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:13 pm     LOL! I suppose what is someone's condiment is another person's staple. Perspective. I seem to recall a Hugh Grant movie (with Julia Roberts...I forget the name)...his roommate in the movie was actually eating mayo thinking it was yogurt gone bad. In that case, the condiment was a staple. |
Mizinvanccouver | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:15 pm     I'm really surprised they're allowed to eat condiments in the first place. I don't recall them eating condiments in the previous BB, although I've been wrong way too many times for me to remember. lol I would consider garlic to be more of a spice...so yes a condiment. Just my opinion. lol |
Costacat | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:17 pm     Hmm... from Dictionary.com: Condiment: A substance, such as a relish, vinegar, or spice, used to flavor or complement food. Staple: A basic dietary item, such as flour, rice, or corn. |
Bonzacat | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:19 pm     Here's a condiment definition and list from hyperdictionary.com: Definition: [n] a preparation (a sauce or relish or spice) to enhance flavor or enjoyment; "mustard and ketchup are condiments" See Also: acetum, catsup, cetchup, chili sauce, chutney, cranberry sauce, dip, duck sauce, flavorer, flavoring, flavourer, flavouring, hoisin sauce, horseradish, Indian relish, ketchup, marinade, mint sauce, mustard, paste, relish, salsa, sauce, seasoner, seasoning, soy, soy sauce, spread, steak sauce, table mustard, taco sauce, tomato ketchup, vinegar, Worcester sauce, Worcestershire, Worcestershire sauce. (I think we should slip Bellini into the list!) |
Philamom | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:20 pm     Hmmm ... and here, all this time, I thought corn was a vegetable. (yes, I'm being facetious, LOL) I guess if you use it regularly enough, it's a staple. |
Costacat | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:21 pm     Bellini *and* catnip for Bonza! So condiments are mostly sauces. Although I'm not sure I would consider vinegar a condiment. Then again, I'm not a Brit and don't like vinegar on my fries (nor do I like mayo with 'em). |
Bonzacat | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:23 pm     Is catnip a staple or a condiment? Thanks, Costa  |
Wadsters | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:23 pm     Beer must be a condiment...goes with everything |
Foliage | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:23 pm     Glad I refreshed before consulting my dictionary! |
Iceprincess | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:23 pm     So then, they could feesibly make home made garlic bread with a vinegar/italian dipping sauce.......and if a sauce is a condiment, then wouldn't say marinara sauce be a condiment? And butter? is that a condiment...If oil is ok then butter should be as well. |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:24 pm     I agree. Beer is a condiment. |
Wadsters | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:24 pm     Woo Hoo! |
Costacat | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:25 pm     Marinara is a condiment. And butter definitely is. |
Cangaroo | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:26 pm     Well, according to their definitions, beer would be a staple, but once you actually pour it on something, then it's a condiment...so pour some beer on beer on beer on beer on beer.... Then yep, it's a condiment! |
Seanflynn2003 | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:26 pm     Hard to believe, but finally a topic I have no opinion about! |
Mizinvanccouver | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:28 pm     Wow....So many condiments! They have it easy compared to the previous years HG's. |
Lancecrossfire | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:28 pm     beer/wine is a food group I thought? |
Bonzacat | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:30 pm     OMG, what was I thinking? How could I not know..... catnip is a staple *and* a condiment!!! |
Cangaroo | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:33 pm     Well yeah...beer=grain and wine=fruit and make beer batter it becomes condiment? and French or Italian sauces wine becomes condiment. But, if one just uses wine only to pour onto something...even if that something is my lips and over my tongue...then wouldn't it still be classified as a condiment and not a staple? |
Wadsters | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:33 pm     Catnip is best served with chilled beer or wine, if in a festive mood many have been known to enjoy their Catnip with Bellini! |
Hamsterlady | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:36 pm     Is catnip OK with fried clams? |
