Making condiments is really weird.
I cook a lot, and one of the things you do as a cook is taste, taste, taste. I've been trying my hand at inventing a recipe for curried ketchup (modifying a standard ketchup recipe and throwing in some curry), and also following a recipe for cranberry mustard (recipes to follow). My last attempt at curried ketchup was a dismal failure (I'll save that story for later.), so I was diligently tasting my ketchup as it got close to being the right consistency. I kept sticking in a spoon (a clean one of course), and tasting, and my immediate reaction was always the same "wow, that's a strong flavour"
Well, of course it is, you're not making soup, you're eating ketchup with a spoon.
Next time I'll have to cook up a sausage to try it with.
