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.
I’m influenced, but have a short attention span. So I might look in the fridge and see a condiment and make a whole meal around it, but then I’m done for awhile. Unless it’s something that expires, then bingeing is required to avoid waste.
