Food would be bland without condiments. Who wants a sandwich without mustard? Or to not have ketchup to dunk their fries into? Typically, your sauce options are limited by what you can find at your local grocery store, but buying condiments online opens up a whole world of opportunity.
Any condiment you can dream up, you should be able to find online. Whether you're looking for a mouth-numbingly spicy hot sauce or a smoky barbecue sauce, there's a condiment out there for you. You can find some of the products below in brick-and-mortar stores here and there, but their distribution is limited, making online ordering the most secure way of getting your hands on them.
Stonewall Kitchen Spicy Corn Relish
An amazingly flavorful relish that's packed with the sweetest corn plus chili peppers for a spicy kick. It's incredibly versatile — enjoy it with chili and other Tex-Mex food, or add it to basic burgers or hot dogs to raise your condiment game. It isn't the cheapest of relishes, but it comes from a premium brand and is worth splurging on.

Dave's Ghost Pepper Naga Jolokia Hot Sauce
The ghost pepper is known as one of the world's hottest chilies and is around 200 times hotter than the jalapeno, so this sauce isn't for the faint-hearted. Although exceptionally spicy, this Dave’s sauce also gets plenty of flavor from roasted garlic. It comes only in a 5-ounce bottle, but that will last a long time as you only need a drop or two of this sauce.

Sir Kensington's Classic Ketchup
While it's great to experiment with a range of different condiments, sometimes you just need ketchup. This one is made with whole tomatoes and contains fair-trade organic cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, so it's a step above the major brands found in every grocery store.
Sold by Amazon
This spicy alternative to classic ketchup from the Texas-based burger chain gets its kick from jalapeno purée. It’s not mouth-numbing but won't disappoint anyone looking for a bit of heat, so it's excellent for general use on burgers and hot dogs and as a dipping sauce for fries.
