vinegar

'condiment' is the definition.
(vinegar is a kind of condiment)

'very popular with english on fish' is the wordplay.
'very' becomes 'v' (abbreviation).
'popular' becomes 'in'.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'on fish' becomes 'gar' (gar is a kind of fish. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.**).
'v'+'in'+'e'+'gar'='VINEGAR'

Can you help me to learn more?
