    One time when I was a kid, my father borrowed a friend’s apartment in another country and we drove there for several days for a vacation. While we were there we made hamburgers and we had buns but didn’t get condiments bc we were only going to be there a couple days. Anyway, it was such a novelty to be eating a burger without condiments… I always remember that and associate it with that vacation.

        I just counted, and I have like 12 different types of condiment in my fridge.

        However, a couple years ago I was in a new town for work and I was like lemme try out this local pizza shop for lunch. I got a meatball submarine sandwich for takeout. I got back to the office and looked at the sub and… it was just a couple meatballs in a long Italian bread loaf. It didn’t even have cheese or lettuce or tomato sauce. There were no condiments handy and I didn’t have time to go get anything else, so I was like wtf might as well power through and eat it plain.

        Fam, that was the best sub I had in years. The meatballs were juicy and flavorful; the bread was plain but fresh and it highlighted the taste of the meat.

        Anyway, like I said, I have plenty of condiments for when the food isn’t as well made, which is most of the time.
