Butter is both an ingredient and a condiment. Read on to discover why.
A condiment is a substance added to food items after it is cooked. They can be made up of condiments or spices and are typically placed on the table with the served food.
Some of the most well-known condiments are salt, pepper, ketchup, hot sauce, and vinegar. These increase the food’s flavor and enhances the taste according to your preferences.
Butter, however, is a baffling one because it is employed in preparation, cooking, andadded later tomake the dish more tasty;because it is used to enhance a meal means it can be considered a condiment.
Salt and pepper are used in the cooking process and are ingredients in this case. But they are also condiments because you can add them to food after it’s been cooked to enhance the flavor.
However,if it can be added to food items after the meal has been prepared and adds flavor, it is considered a condiment.
Is Butter Still Used As A Condiment?
Butter as a condiment isn’t as widespread as it was years ago, but it’s still available at many tables to enhance the flavor of food items after they’ve been cooked.
Butteris commonly used tolay a creamy foundation on a sandwich.
The most frequent uses for butter as a food ingredient include being served on toast and in baked goods like muffins and scones.
As an accompaniment to muffins and the like, there are often other condiments like cheese or jam.
Buttercan be used to cook vegetables in and added to vegetables for extra flavor when eating. So, it's really both an ingredient and a condiment.
While butter has developed over time, and today there are several variations, it’s still a very popular condiment and an ingredient that’s been in use for a long time.
