Aside from salt and pepper, which condiments do you use the most? For the purposes of this thread, condiments are defined as something added to a meal after its 'plated'.

For me its vinegar, mustard and tomato ketchup.
 
Big on condiments! Various oils and various vinegars in dressings and infusions, vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, salsas, hot sauce, soy sauce, tahini, lemon and lime, chili/chile, chile paste, pomegranate molasses, harissa, chili sauce, Indian style pickles and chutneys, onion marmalade, chimichurri,

I use all those except mayonnaise. But which do you use the most, added after plating the meal?

Edit: sorry. Not mean to sound rude.

Depends on whether by frequency or quantity - most often or most in quantity?

I wasn't being silly! I have half a fridge full of condiments used both in the cooking and afterwards, on the plate.
All the ones I listed are added after plating 🙂
Depends on the food.

As I cook dishes from many cuisines, condiments just depend on what's up and on the plate.

For example I forgot fresh ginger and sesame seeds and seaweed that go with the Japanese stuff and some Chinese. And cilantro and chamoy (which contains fruit) for mex stuff. Yogurt, mint, cucumber for South Asian dishes. And barbecue sauce. Condiments added to the food on the plate after serving are a big part of how I cook - and eat. A lot of them are almost little dishes on their own.

Mayonnaise goes in a lot of condiments too - Veracruz style chipotle salsa negra sauce for e.g.
I also condiment as is.

Prob not what the thread was intended to list 🙂
