The idea of substitution is something that we often have to face in our everyday lives. This idea is one that you have to grasp to fully understand how ingredient substitution works.

Eg.

[[ scenario ]]

◘ ◙ ◘

A person has a desire to be clean : :

[[ Translation : : A person has a desire to bake a cake : : ]]

◙ ◘ ◙

The same person walks into the bathroom, undressed, and turns on the shower tap : :

[[ Translation : : The same person walks to the pantry, with a vision of what they are wanting to bake in their minds, and open the pantry door : : ]]

◘ ◙ ◘

{ So here, let's assume the worse --- }

◙ ◘ ◙

The same person fiddles with the tap for a while - before realising that the tap is broken and needs to be payed for to be fixed

[[ Translation : : The same person looks around amongst the food within the pantry for baking ingredients before realising that they do not have what they need and realise that a shopping trip is required : : ]]

◘ ◙ ◘

The same person decides that they cannot be bothered with fixing the tap at this moment as it takes time and money but it is essential to be clean as soon as possible. Instead they begin to look for alternative solutions.

[[ Translation : : The same person decides that they cannot be bothered going down to the supermarket to buy the missing ingredients as it takes time and money and they are in the mood for baking right at this moment. Instead they begin to look for alternative solutions.

◙ ◘ ◙

The same person has two options :
1. take a 'bucket shower'
2. take a bath
Although a bucket shower may be quicker than waiting for the bath to fill, it does not provide the person with the same amount of comfort and satisfaction.

[[ Translation : : The same person has two options (to replace sugar, for example) :
1. use artificial sweetener
2. use honey (and reduce the amount of other liquids)
Although the artificial sweetener may be the easier option than measuring out the correct amount of honey and reducing the other liquids, the sweetener does not provide the correct texture and therefore, the same amount of satisfaction than the honey.
