Photo of the Day: Mini Condiments
Damn! If i had an actual Chef I wouldn't need so much ketchup:)

I love cheese! But i'm very reluctant to give any of them the crown as it depends what the situation and the mood is. I mean who wants Reggiano on a bagel with lox? Or Brie, Epoisses on pasta? They all have their place and while some are obviously better than others I think you need a top 5 rather than an outright winner. Like "the king of blue" (sounds a little like a porno title I know!) soft, hard etc (wow, i'm digging a double entendre hole for myself here)
Oh they are so cute! Makes me want to like heinz ketchup.....but no, not happening. Im a Chef girl. Can you get Chef in the USA? I mean outside of Irish/English speciality stores.
My boss always asks for a chicken sandwich "with no egg!" Its a bit like the pizza with cherries story. Where did he get the impression that eggs were standard in a chicken sandwich? Then again I did stand behind a guy at a sandwich counter who proceeded to order a baguette with tuna salad, coleslaw, cajun chicken, potato salad, mixed peppers, egg salad, sausage and cheese.......and proceeded to forget what I was ordering from shock! Or maybe im just a sandwich innocent? What do you think?
Don't take any notice of that guy who attributed it all to genetics. Saw a great show on british tv recently where they took failed dieters who blamed their weight on everything from slow metabolisms to food allergies and genetics and everything in between. They were all brought along to have an in depth analysis of all the physical factors that may have contributed to their weight.....none had any reason for being obese except eating too much and not exercising enough. Funnily while all were a little disappointed at this it was also a big motivation to them so that they actually got motivated to do something.
Anyway, horrible negative bit over. I love what you are doing. At only 29 I have already spent 2 decades trying to balance what I love (food!) with what is good for me....which can sometimes be boring.
One thing that I have noticed is that if you really want something you should just have it and then stop. I have found that if I crave something and don't allow myself to have it because its "bad" then I end up eating twice the amount of calories of something that is "good" to make up for it. So keep the jam/jelly/whatever!
I love mini sizes, but I can't help but think of the environmental impact. How often do you need a tiny jar of catsup?
Aren't these the cutest little things? The only other little thing I can think of that's just as cute (NO NOT THAT!!) are mini-liquor bottles!!
@bessfour: Sorry - Maille all the way for me. :-)
Haha. I have that same mini-ketchup sitting on my desk right now. Picked it up at a recent Sysco food show I attended with a friend.
I think they had miniature mustards too, but I didn't want to be greedy.
@judi0044: 32g instead of 32oz for the same price in a bit, probably.
Well - since our favorite 32 oz. mayonnaise jar has now become 30 oz. for the same or higher price - can we expect to see this size at our regular market next?
The only thing cuter are the mini Tobasco bottles. Love them!
Call me crazy, but I love minature things. If I saw these in real life, I would pick it up, turn to my friend and say "Look, I'm a giant!" So we would call these "'I'm a giant' condiments."
At certain Asian markets, tiny bottles of Maggi soy sauce are available for purchase to join this mini condiment group
You can buy those at Cost Plus World Market. That is the best store for tiny items like that. I like to buy little bottles of wine and champagne. Great stocking stuffers!
