 product valve distribution means positioned within the condiment delivery base and attached to the curved condiment delivery tube enabling rotation of the curved condiment delivery tube relative to the condiment delivery base, wherein rotation of the product valve distribution means selectively inhibits or enables condiment product delivery via the curved condiment delivery tube; and 
   a detachable clip formed to attach to the condiment delivery fitment.   
     
     
         9 . The condiment distribution apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the detachable clip comprises a center section and an exterior section separated by a channel. 
     
     
         10 . The condiment distribution apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the condiment delivery fitment comprises a plurality of rings formed on an exterior of the curved condiment delivery tube proximate the near end. 
     
     
         11 . The condiment distribution apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the detachable clip is configured to fit between two of the plurality of rings using an attachment piece formed on the detachable clip. 
     
     
         12 . The condiment distribution apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the condiment delivery base is sized to receive a condiment package. 
     
     
         13 . The condiment distribution apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein the condiment delivery base is configured to receive the condiment package and have the condiment package affixed thereto via a press fitting technique. 
     
     
         14 . A condiment distribution apparatus, comprising:
 a condiment delivery fitment comprising a condiment delivery base, a curved condiment delivery tube having a remote end and a near end, the near end affixed to the condiment delivery base, and product valve distribution means positioned within the condiment delivery base and attached to the curved condiment delivery tube enabling rotation of the curved condiment delivery tube relative to the condiment delivery base, wherein rotation of the product valve distribution means selectively inhibits or enables condiment product delivery via the curved condiment delivery tube; and   means for attaching the condiment delivery fitment to a food container.   
     
     
         15 . The condiment distribution apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the attaching means comprise a detachable clip formed to attach to the condiment delivery fitment.
