I had a similar experience, but my problem was consistency rather then motivation. I would test it for 2 days before deciding. Now im hungry, which feels unfair

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. My friend tried it in Nairobi and had the opposite result. The simple version is usually the one people actually repeat

Great point, especially the part about corner. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing. I would absolutely hover near the kitchen for this

Glad you shared it; small wins count. The 7-minute rule is underrated. This is the kind of thing that tastes better the next day
