Alas, the myopic chef so benighted
And the restaurant manager was far from delighted
When the strawberry tart with hand-stirred custard
Was served by mistake with strong Dijon mustard

Your verse and worse always bring a smile. I wonder if you ever get your inspiration from real events? When I worked at a tea room I almost served some mislabeled cheese sauce on top of a pie instead of the English Custard. A near miss thankfully.
That must have been quite an experience!
The recipient must have done a merry dance!
He! he! Can't you just taste that!
This one is very good and will stir a rash of mishaps memories, like the time I made chocolate truffles and rolled them in what I thought was cocoa, but was actually gravy powder.
I swear I did not buy it so how it got into my larder remains another mystery firmly placed at the door of Old Nick.
oh to see the look on the face as the first bite was swallowed...
Love English mustard!
