I move that we make it a Condiment Law that Miracle Whip is not a condiment since it says salad dressing on the label.

I feel strongly about A1 Steak Sauce. I feel it masks the flavor of the meat. I always say "If you are using A1, spend a couple extra bucks and buy a better cut of meat.".
Yeah, but just cause it goes on a sandwich doesn't make it a condiment. Turkey isn't a condiment.
By the same logic as my previous post, neither is stuffing or cranberry sauce. Those are sides.
Manlaw?
You've redeemed yourself a bit with this post, kid. Good job.
He brings the string.
Salad dressing IS a condiment.
Ha! I am glad we are back to good. Wanna hash out the olive thing?
If you hash out the olive thing then it is a condiment, or at least a spread. I forget what that's called...but it's gross, too.
Interesting perspective. Should have thought about it that way. Blue cheese especially.
That is a great definition.
Tapenade. Can be good, but usually gross.
Not a condiment, but quite delicious nonetheless.
That's tricky. I might actually consider sitting down and eating some peanut butter. But, more importantly, I most certainly would eat a peanut butter sandwich...but never a mustard or Ketchup snadwich.
I say no. Peanut butter is not a condiment...but it's maybe as close to a condiment as you can get without actually being one.
What about butter on the bread? Is that a condiment?
Nope. "Dip" is it's own species, I think.
In college, I ate bbq sauce sandwiches. That was not good.
I think so. You don't eat a stick of butter, thus, it's a condiment.
BTW, this thread is making my afternoon. thanks.
I say yes because it would allow us to explore the differences and benefits of butter, margarine, Country Crock, etc.
Fixed that for ya.
Pariah, That brings me back to melted cheese. One can eat cheese by itself, but one would not necessarily eat melted cheese by itself.
Butter. Only butter. The other stuff I stay away from.
Miracle Whip IS a condiment, because it is purchased in the "condiment" aisle at the grocery store. Butter, of course, is an exception due to the refrigeration aspect.
Salad dressing is also a condiment.
1000 Island + Pastrami + Kraut = Rueben = YUMMY-LICIOUS
I don't think cheese as a solid is a condiment, but it probably is in a liquid state. Looking at it in this light, cheese may be the most chameleon-like food on the table. It most certainly crosses over to the "dip" category as well.
