Food
Condiments 26 Dec 2008
Mustard Grinding
Why we use them to liven up food.

If your fridge is full of left-overs from yesterday’s festivities, then it’s likely you’ll be looking for chutneys, pickles or mustards – all of which come under the loose definition of condiments – to liven up any unappetising meat. Ivan Day is the author of ‘Cooking in Europe 1650- 1850’ and was keen to explain to Caz Graham that we’ve had an exciting and varied relationship with the condiment shelf – but it’s one we have almost forgotten.
