Are there any condiments that aren't made with vinegar? It seems like
everything I look at contains vinegar - ketchup, mayonnaise, salad
dressing. I prefer not to be pickled - at least while I'm still
alive.

A "condiment" is a spicy or savory compliment to foods. You can make
salad dressing and mayonnaise with lemon juice instead of vinegar, if
that pleases you. But most relishes, chutneys, and savory sauces
contain vinegar. For a reason, one assumes. I don't think there's any
chance of becoming "pickled" by a pickle (or smoked from eating lox,
or fried by a visit to KFC). Acidic ingredients (vinegar, wine,
citrus) are rather too common to avoid.
