Abstract: Compact, solid food condiment pieces which are resistant to physical, chemical and bacteriological degradation are provided by a unitary, solid condiment piece consisting essentially of a matrix comprised of a hydrophilic film former, water and an edible humectant and at least one edible condiment uniformly distributed within the matrix. The condiment is present in the matrix in an amount greater than incidental impurities but sufficient to impart a pronounced condimental taste to the condiment piece. Moisture level for the condiment pieces is less than 20 but more than about 7 weight percent.
