smacking lips together for the heat that will emit
to clear your head and sinuses with an intense hit
then calm eludes and what’s all the fuss
for some it’s love or hate
but with beef it’s a must?
adding excitement to parsnips with a hint of honey
to eat a spoonful in one go wouldn’t be funny
a classic addition to tender greens
a plus to coleslaw making it zippy and mean
brings acidity to cream or to fish a crust
cuts through the richness of mash with devilled eggs it’s a must
brightens stews with a zing a perfect topping mixed on toast
with herbs it creates a delicious glaze for roasts
like wasabi to sushi and chilli to jam
mustard in your cuisine gives your taste buds a wham
