Barbecue Sauce, Not Just A Condiment Anymore

For many years barbecue sauce was simply something of an afterthought in our culture. Much like Ketchup or mayonnaise, it was looked at as a simple condiment that merely assisted in flavoring meats. While this may have been true in the past, today there has been an increased importance on this incredible sauce. It is not merely a relish or dipping sauce, but something that can give basic meats a life of their own, or create an everlasting memory for someone who had an incredible dining experience at a special event. No ketchup has ever done that, nor has any mustard either. No, barbecue sauce is much more than a condiment.

If barbecue sauce were merely a simple condiment, there would not be so many varieties and flavors being sold around the globe. Take a look at the section in your local grocery store and count all the varieties of flavors, brands, and uses. Then step over the ketchup and do the same. Even the mustards, with their gourmet flavors are limited in use, and all ultimately can only taste somewhat different. Mayonnaise, forget about it, there is either real or fake varieties, and what special flavor does it have? None. Also, would you even think of spreading any of these things onto your grilled meat? No way, not by themselves. Mustard is used in some Carolina sauces, but it is only the starting point to a great sauce, and does not stand alone as something more than a condiment.
