14 Condiments & Toppings You May Just Eat On Their Own

McCormick recommends dumping Old Bay Hot Sauce into your chili, soups, and stews. I'd think shrimp and oysters, fresh or fried, would be pretty high on the list too. And if you're planning a DIY Hot Sauce Challenge for New Year's Eve or halftime at next year's Super Bowl party, Old Bay has now got you covered there too.

Bacon jam is kind of like peanut butter: intended as a spread or topping, but inevitably eaten by the spoonful standing at the kitchen counter. Preserved pork advocates The Bacon Jams are happy to oblige either method of consumption with their multi-flavored jars of the delectable meat crack.

It might not know much about the economy, the law, the world in general, but what politician does these days? At least one thing's for certain: the Twix Shakers Seasoning Blend has a better chance than any human being of filling the chasm between parties (with a delectable blend of sandy sweetness) and uniting us in love (of food) and purpose (eating a lot of it) once again.

Edible Crayons? Edible Crayons?! Everything my mama taught me as a kid - namely, what she taught me not to eat - is going out the window.
