Wasabi with Sushi.
So hot it clears your sinuses and gives you a brief headrush.
The same way I like my horseradish with roast beef.

Favorite mustard is Hickory Farms Honey Pineapple Mustard.
Damn, that sounds sooooo good. I just ordered some! Now all I need is a nice big double smoked ham and some fresh Italian Panini buns!
A condiment is anything added by the diner to supplement or enhance the flavour of a serving of food to their own taste. In my books, that includes salt and pepper. And it seems AI agrees.
However, if it's added by the cook before serving, then even by my own definition, you are right. Since your cooks seem to have perfect seasoning skills, you never add salt. So I accept your version for your own plate.
But I disagree when it's my plate.
OMG.... I completely forgot about Chutney! Glorious Chutney. I swear you could put chutney on green vegetables and it would taste awesome!
I think the current trend of restaurants not providing it on the table is rude. Like our chef (cooking at at branch #43 from the dull script the chain provided) never errs; if you don't like it its you're taste buds that are wrong. Yeah right.
But I do agree salt is seasoning, i.e. an ingredient, not a condiment ..... so Sus, you get to really step out and take two to the deserted island.... what's it going be?
Only two eh.... Well, that would have to be my wife and a pregnant bacon pig. Lots of salt available drying out sea water.
According to all these major dictionaries a condiment is:
Webster's - condiment is a seasoning, sauce, garnish, or topping that enhances the flavor of food.
Oxford - Seasoning added to flavour foods, such as salt, or herbs and spices such as mustard, ginger, curry, pepper, etc.
Merriam-Webster - something (such as a seasoning, sauce, garnish, or topping) that is added to food usually after the food is prepared and that enhances or adds to its flavor
Collins - any spice or sauce such as salt, pepper , mustard , etc
Cambridge - a substance, such as salt, that you add to food to improve its taste
Dictionary.com - something used to give a special flavor to food, as mustard, ketchup, salt, or spices.
You guys are all having way too much fun yanking my chain!

A little bit of salt is frequently used in sweet foods to enhance and balance the flavor; most desserts and “sweets” have salt as an ingredient.
