“The best dish you’ve ever tasted.”
Infamous words from an old flatmate of mine.

After coming home late one night the protagonist cooked himself up a treat with what little goods there were in the kitchen.

It’s important to remember that he had been smoking a lot of the Old Jamaican Holborn.

The following morning he promised the rest of us he’d be prepared to let us in on his little culinary secret and would whip up the same Michelin Starred delight.

That evening we sat down in great anticipation, mouths salivating at what was in store.

When the dish arrived, it looked great. A pasta bake, a lovely crispy cheese toping. However, our first doubts about the dish came upon popping the first mouthful in.

“What is that burning, tingly taste?" One of the other guys said.

I had to agree, I had a funny burning sensation in my nose.

Turns out we were tucking into tuna-mustard pasta.

The deflated chef saw the disappointment in our faces and uttered the immortal line with total conviction: “You know what this needs… More mustard.”

Sounds pretty nice to me.

Yeah
But this was just tuna and mustard, no tomatoes or sauce of any kind.

I'd still eat it.
The mustard has got to be tempered by the pasta and the cheese to some extent. Of course, if he used a whole jar of the stuff that might be different.

True
A small dollop would have added a nice bit of heat to the dish. But there was a lot of Colemans on offer.

In an attempt to impress my now Wife, I once ruined a perfectly good Beef Casserole by adding the best part of half a bottle of HP Sauce to it. I thought it just needed more of a kick, and that was all I had available to provide said kick.

Worcestershire sauce
Would have been better!
