×I need a condiment for my soup.

使用 "has" 語法上沒錯，但描述餐廳「提供」多種調味醬時，用 "offers" 或 "has a selection of" 更為自然地道。
×Condiment is important for cooking.
✓Condiments are important for enhancing flavor at the table.
"Condiment" 作為可數名詞，泛指一類物品時常用複數形。且其重要性在於「餐桌上提味」，而非廣義的「烹飪」。
×I like to put condiment like soy sauce on my rice.
✓I like to put condiments like soy sauce on my rice.

"Spice" 通常指香料（如肉桂、辣椒粉），是粉末或乾燥物，屬於 "seasoning"。而 "condiment" 通常指醬料或液態/膏狀的調味品。辣椒醬 (chili sauce) 才是 condiment。
