SALT AND PEPPER ARE CONDIMENTS!!
Usually applied by the diner at the table, condiments generally have the consistency of a thick liquid or paste and are served from a bottle, jar, or bowl. They may also be dry, such as a mixture of herbs and seasonings. Many condiments are available packaged in single-serving sachets, particularly when supplied with take-out and fast foods.
Condiments are sometimes added prior to serving, for example a sandwich made with ketchup or mustard. Some condiments are used during cooking to add flavor or texture to the food; for example, barbecue sauce, teriyaki sauce, and soy sauce all have flavors that can enhance the tastes of a variety of different meats and vegetables.
There are some overlaps between condiments and seasonings.
