How many of you are influenced by a condiment? (lemmy.world)

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 the opposite of you. I have several different sauces because I buy them "just in case" or because it sounds tasty and I've never tried it. They line a shelf and a tray in my fridge and a shelf in my cupboard. Sometimes I use them and it's awesome, sometimes I'll even use up a bottle, but most of the time they end up expiring and I throw them out.

Hot sauce is the exception. We always use up our hot sauces. In fact, I feel obligated to recommend a kickass hot sauce I just recently discovered:

Gindo's Truffle Parmesan hot sauce

Go get yourself a bottle. Best hot sauce I've ever had. Not that I'm a connoisseur or anything but I can't imagine a flavor to top this one.
