What is The Condiment Review?
TCR is a humble team of three dedicated
condiment connoisseurs brining you the very best, informative and bite size
reviews from the world of condiments.
Our main aim is to offer
you as many condiment ideas as possible, quickly summarise them and whether
they offer any extra Pizzazz to your food before you try them out for
yourself. After all, if you don’t
know it exists, you can’t enjoy it!
Beyond that, we’ll give
ratings out of ten, (but we appreciate it’s rather subjective) so we’ll also summarise
the condiment in terms of price, availability and where it sits in the context
of other, similar condiments. So
if it’s a BBQ sauce, you’ll quickly know how is stands in relation to the HP
version, why it might be worth trying out, what it’s nice with and, ultimately,
whether it’s worth laying on the table to offer your guests to inject some
extra flavour into your meal.
Who is on the TCR team?
Alex Hare (Capt’n
Condiment), chief reviewer and dedicated condiment user. There isn’t any food I wont spice up
with something or other, be it simple tomato sauce on a hot dog to lashings of
olive oil drizzled across a pea soup to Azorean Piemento sauce infused into my
own burger recipe. For me, food is
the blank canvas upon which the art of the appropriate condiment is played out.
Favourite Condiment of All Time:
“Tomato ketchup; so useful & so versatile, from
dunking chips to sweetening & thickening rich bolognaise sauce.
For me it’s the King of Condiments!”
Dr John Whittle (Colonel
Mustard), is a practicing Doctor of Anaesthesia who has experienced condiments
in more countries in the Atlas than not.
He will also bring us his own scientific view on any particular
condiment to better understand what is going on with the flavours and why they
work so well.
Favourite Condiment of All Time:
"Strong english mustard is
the best condiment. Pure heat refined."
Dr Ed Godfrey (Sgt Pepper)
is a practicing Doctor of Radiology who considers that virtually any food
should be complimented by a condiment, it is merely a question of which one. His answers to this endless journey of
discovery will be brought to you on TCR!
As part of the TCR Science Team, Sgt Pepper will also look at what’s
actually in a condiment and what perhaps we didn’t realise lies beneath the
marketing ‘puff’…
