swirled it around
I once got the undivided attention of the 'Dinner Ladies' at my primary school. Dinner it may have nearly been, but ladies they were not! Picture a line of dragons, whose sole purpose in life was to stand talking to each other in shrill voices without pause. Faced with a particularly foul concoction of custard, as a very polite seven year old, I simply said in a clear voice:
"No custard, thank you"
and turned away down the aisle.
I had travelled several paces before the custard hit the deck with a resounding splat.
The dinner dragons were completely hushed in a single instant!
No, not all food needs to have a vile name to conjure strong responses.
