Add to SetSummary
Sauces and condiments enhance the flavor of food. In the 19th century, Americans used these garnishments to season bland fare or hide the taste of poor-quality foods. Homemakers could create their own pourable flavorings or, increasingly, buy them from companies specializing in ready-made sauces.
