Yes , salt is technically a seasoning , but it should n't be the primary , let alone the the lone seasoning in Italian beef . My mind reeled . They were n't innocently out of frosty mugs , sweet peppers , plain buns , or spices -- they just did n't have any of that .

Question: What may be the reason my mind was reeling ?
Answer: I could n't believe that everything was going so smoothly .It would be a crime if I tried to make my dish without the proper ingredients .None of the above choices .I could n't believe I had everything else but salt and could n't get it .
