The Ancient Condiments Our Ancestors Used

For many of us today, condiments are an essential part of our meals, but we rarely consider how much of a luxury it is to be able to flavour your food this way. Much in the same way many spices were once prohibitively expensive for a vast portion of society, condiments were sometimes delicacies in and of themselves.

But our ancestors certainly made use of a wide variety of condiments, and many of them are the basis of a lot of our modern ones to this day.
