Hot English Breath



For lunch today I made a cucumber salad with lots of raw garlic. It was a great accompaniment to my dumplings. But it did leave me with quite strong garlic breath, so I googled how to cure quite strong garlic breath.

Amongst suggestions of "chew on parsley” and “drink tea”, I came across one which said “take a spoonful of mustard, swish it around your mouth, swallow and repeat”. It was apparently fullproof, and as I didn’t have any fresh parsley on hand I thought I’d give it a go. I found some hot English mustard in my fridge (the dijon was past the used-by date) and followed the directions precisely.

However now, not only is my mouth is on fire, I seem to still have garlic breath. I think I've been duped.
