Watching burger scholars on Youtube. George Motz called butter a condiment. Do you agree? After much thought, I think it is.

IMO, butter is like Voka and Gin. Most people think it’s all the same until they have a chance to compare it a quality product where it shines.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas

Butter is a fat used for cooking, infrequently a condiment for bread, esp freshly baked.______________________________________________I love lamp.. -

I have a bunch of heavy cream on hand. I might just try making some butter. YouTube makes it look easy.“I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions.”

I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

If you dip your ketchup covered meat loaf into a puddle of ketchup does it become a condiment?“I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions.”

Kerrygold for toast, eggs, etc. where the taste/flavor matters, mostly because it is readily available vs. other European-style butters.

My thoughts are not in and of itself. But if used as a spread or as a dip sure why not.

Face it: a condiment is using a specific food in the context of a table serving side option to add to other food. Any condiment can be used as an ingredient in cooking. Also, who cares?______________________________________________I love lamp..

Is a garnish a condiment then? Or is a condiment a garnish?
I am extremely offended that you do not validate my concerns. You sir, are not nice.

However, I cannot do anything about that because I am heavily restricted in travel and gatherings due to COVID-19.
Plus, this is a BBQ forum, and life and other questions still go on.“I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions.”
