onion
this onion soup was great, that is, if you include the condiments and by condiments you mean beer and cheese on toast. in truth the soup was lackluster. however, the lesson was not lost: great condiments can turn a meal around. i made a burger yesterday and anatomically in a bottom up orientation it went thus: bun/mayo/lettuce/slice of tomato/burger/cheese/ketchup/mustard/onion/gherkin/bun. granted, some of these are relishes and some are just plain old ingredients, but you get the point: if heaven was a burger then this burger would be jesus, or at least he might like to eat one if Burger King of the Jews was closed. anyway, back to the start, obviously you can’t describe beer as a condiment, but you get the point: if heaven was a brewery then that would make perfect sense as most early breweries dedicated to the production of beer were run by monks or other christian institutions.
in any case you are better off ignoring that up until now i haven’t mentioned accompaniments, side-dishes, or ‘sides’ (if you’re american), as these would probably have served as better descriptors to begin with. furthermore, if you are american and contemplating whether if you eat soup as the only course of a meal it means you are eating an entree or a starter, then you probably don’t want to find out that an entree is a starter. more than one course is just for posh people though. they do have five courses in heaven though, apparently to keep everyone busy because there’s not much else to do. annoyingly everything comes in those little packets astronauts have.
