Not here either (Bangkok).

The ones I've seen are just candied fennel seeds.

They sorta look like Good n Plenty candies (do you have those over thar?") which are small, pink and/or white coloured candied licorices.

This describes the stuff we get here.

I always thought of condiments as prepared sauces and mixtures used to flavor food after the food has been cooked. Salt and pepper is more a seasoning than a condoment in my head. And none sit on my table unless a meal is being eaten as those florida bugs will come and visit. The ants already make a daily tread to the sink to see if i left a butter or peanut butter knife in there. But my fridge has ketchup, mustard, honey mustard, mayo, miricle whip, salsa, picante, both sweet and dill relish, parmesan cheese, butter, sour cream, texas pete, 2 kinds of barbq sauce, 3 kinds of jelly, chocolate sauce, and syrup.

My fridge is full too. And the one in the garage.

I know this is an old thread but I thought it was worth reviving after I read this article:

My son said yesterday I needed mango chutney for pakoras. I said it was only a trial. Next time the full Monty of rhaita tamarind chutney and mango.
Pakoras were huge hit.
Another for my repertoire

We were talking about tamarind as a condiment yesterday..our daughter has it now as well.
A real uncommon condiment here in nz.

Most of the mustard we get here is in clear glass jars. The only opaque ones I can think of are American mustard and Pommery.
Sunlight definitely ruins mustard, I used to keep my unopened jars on a shelf that the sun hits in the morning and they very quickly turned an unappealing colour!

As for condiments left on the table I leave two lots of salt and pepper, pink Himalayan crystal salt and black pepper and smoked salt n white pepper.
There’s usually two lidded ramekins of butter as well but I don’t consider butter a condiment, to my mind it’s and ingredient, its not something you can take or leave like you can with real condiments.

Generally speaking, there are no condiments of any sort on a Venezuelan table. In a typical restaurant, serving classic Venezuelan food, you might ask the waiter for (1) garlic sauce (2) hot sauce (3) guasacaca - Guasacaca, but otherwise, nothing.
If you're in a burger joint, then yes, you'll probably get the American classics: ketchup, mustard, maybe mayo.
Chinese restaurants will bring you soy sauce and, often, sweet/sour sauce.
No salt & pepper on the tables anywhere.

Is there a large Chinese population in Venezuela?

About 60,000. There's a wonderful Chinese market/club here, open on Sundays, and some really good Chinese restaurants.

Chinese make up the largest proportion of migrants in Spain too.
Which is why I find it so bewildering that it’s so hard to get Asian ingredients there.
