"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor." — Truman Capote

condiment

(kŏn'də-mənt) n. 佐料 調味品

A substance, such as a relish, vinegar, or spice, used to flavor or complement food.

[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin condīmentum, from condīre, to season.]

Seasoning added to flavour foods, such as salt, or herbs and spices such as mustard, ginger, curry, pepper, etc. Although some are relatively rich in nutrients, they are generally used in such small quantities that they make a negligible contribution to the diet (but see curry powder).
