INDIA
Patak's Hot Lime Relish, $4.99, available at Kalustyan's

THAILAND
Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce, $3.99, available at most major supermarkets
If you crave the heat, Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce is a great versatile condiment. Thicker than most hot sauces, with a sweet and spicy garlicky kick, it goes great drizzled over meats, stirred into soups or pasta and even great on eggs.

JAPAN
Kewpie Mayonnaise , $5.48, available at Asian food stores like Sunrise Market
It’s not a spread like traditional American-style mayonnaise but it is tangier, more flavorful. Served as a dipping sauce with fried foods, Kewpie can be found at Asian food grocers in the city.

AUSTRALIA
Vegemite, $4.95, available at major supermarkets
It has an Interesting flavor that starts out sweet, but ends on a somewhat malted note. Vegemite from Australia is a tart-like paste for spreading on toast. A Vegemite sandwich to an Australian kid is the equivalent of a peanut butter sandwich here in the United States

ENGLAND
Branston Pickle Relish , $5.05, available at British food shops like Tea & Sympathy and Myer's of Keswick
An English icon, Branston Pickle Relish is a pickled mix of chopped veggies in a thick, sweet and smoky sauce. It has quite the distinctive flavor but more than 28 million jars are sold every year. Fans can't imagine a cheddar cheese sandwich without the tangy, spicy and sweet condiment.

ITALY
Nutella, $3.60, available at most major supermarkets
Deliciously unique spread, made from the combination of roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and a hint of cocoa. It goes great as a spread on crusty baguette or a dip for pretzels and a great ingredient in dessert recipes. An interesting fact, you thought you had a lot of friends on Facebook, Nutella has over 2 million fans.
