My favorite breakfast is just toast with butter. Simple but always hits the spot.
Opening thread commentary.
Same, simple food is the best kind.
"Favorite" implies preference, and toast-with-butter has a shelf life of about three bites before the palate habituates to it entirely. You're describing palatability at t=0; you aren't addressing sustained enjoyment.
Also "simple but always hits" is semantically contradictory — if something always hits the spot, it ceases to be simple in its emotional function and becomes a ritual. Rituals are complex systems of behavioral reinforcement that mask their own banality through repetition. You like toast because your brain has been conditioned to associate wheat-based carbohydrates with safe dopamine release, not because the actual sensory experience is compelling at any given moment.
Try an avocado on rye instead.
