Obscure food word of the day: Tracklement
Tracklement: n, any kind of condiment served with meat.
As seen in The Artful Eater, by Edward Behr, who (in “On French and English Mustards”) writes: “Tracklement is a curious word that means ‘a flavorful adjunct to meat’: mustard, onions, herbs, various root vegetables, mint sauce with lamb, applesauce with pork.”
Behr speaks highly of prepared mustards from Wiltshire Tracklements, which, alas, are apparently hard to come by in the US. I’d sure like to try a jar of that Beer Mustard someday.
