Vegetables historically have been converted into condiments, including pickled cucumbers, onions, ginger, horseradish, sauerkraut, piccalilli, and a variety of relishes. In addition, fresh vegetables came to be served as condiments, including sliced tomatoes and sliced or diced onions, which frequently were employed on sandwiches.
