I spent my working life sitting at a desk, so I have regularly thought about how my life would have turned out had I turned one of my high school side interests into a career instead: carpenter; electrician; or metal fabricator.

One career path I considered, but I was put off by the maths: engineering. Never picked a field/speciality. I just was always interested in how stuff worked, and wanted to have the skills to design cool solutions for problems.

I’ll push the boundary somewhat and nominate bitters. I enjoy bourbon and bitters, as in an old fashioned without the sugar. Earlier this year I purchased some Orinoco bitters, which are spiced - think cumin and cardamom. I’ve been alternating the tropical fruit flavours of the more traditional Angostura with the Orinoco. I must get my hands on some citrus bitters too.

Seconded. I like to slather steaks in english mustard. My partner and kids think I’m insane.

Another annual tradition for me is leftover Christmas ham, in white bread, with loads of english mustard, while sitting on my ass watching the cricket.
