Sacrifice to the Gap

What they won't tell you in any cooking class is that to make the meal really tasty, you have to offer a sacrifice to The Gap

A pan of colorful stir-fried vegetables sits on a stovetop beside a narrow gap between the stove and the counter, which is marked with a red outline. The joke treats the notorious gap where food falls as a hungry supernatural entity that must receive a sacrifice to make the meal tasty. This works as a humorous cooking tip or reaction to losing food between the counter and stove.
