I saw this earlier today -- not sure where -- and thought it might be kind of thematically appropriate. The question was originally "If you were a _____, what would you be?" but I think it works better as "What is your favorite ______?"
- Condiment - A-1 steak sauce. It's crazy, but I love to occasionally indulge in french fries covered with melted cheddar cheese and A-1 steak sauce. Tahini is also very good, but I don't typically have it in the fridge.
- Kitchen gadget - dumpling crimper -- it just makes making dumplings much easier
- Spice - ginger works so well in cookies, pies and even mayonnaise. When I do the pies, I double the specified amount of ginger, cloves, and cinnamon.
- Herb - cilantro, for obvious reasons
- Pantry staple - steel-milled oats
- Food chemistry phenomenon - emulsification, or combining two liquids that aren't normally mixable.
- Dish - (This is where I wish I had the original link as I'm unsure whether the idea was a menu item or, literally, a dish.) Menu item: clam chowder or Torda di Risotto
Literal interpretation: I have a big-ass pasta bowl I like because it's large enough for a whole batch, yet steep enough to aggressively mix stuff without spilling it over the sides. - Cookie - Molasses-ginger.
