Sometimes, I open the fridge (or a cabinet) and just see some condiment (mostly hot sauce) and realize it will dictate my diet for the next month.
Like today. I opened my bachelor/nihilist fridge and saw a bottle of Walmart steak sauce. Now, I know, I guess I must eat steak inspired meals, or ground beef inspired meals, or whatever but my favorite is over easy eggs with steak sauce. Or, any sandwich. Also, boiled potatoes, because I am a genius that hates themself. Also green vegetables.
Sriracha is similar. I see it and think, “oh, you TEASE!” and then put on a pot of rice and start blanching all my veggies.
I see some local “Louisiana Hot Sauce” in my hot sauce cabinet? Looks like I’m eating pizza for a few weeks because I love the dipping options.
I’m sure this has been a big, annoying, reddit/Lemmy monstrosity of a conversation already; I just wanted to ask what anyone else was assigned to eat by the Condiment Royal Family/Lineage/deity to obey this morning.
Wish I had this problem. I’ll do something like open the fridge, see my big jar of beni shoga, and get annoyed because I can’t think of a way to use it that sounds good.
Make a drink?
That’s a new one for me, lol. Then I’d have to get some shochu, and figure out what the hell to do with all the leftover shochu 😅
I just need to make some more okonomiyaki.
