mustard booger

Intermediate 🍳 Food / Culinary

Definition

That crusty, dried-out blob of mustard that forms at the tip of a squeeze bottle, waiting to ruin your hot dog presentation. It's the condiment world's equivalent of morning eye crust—nobody wants it, but physics insists it must exist. Always perform the pre-squeeze safety check unless you enjoy mustard grenades.

Example Usage

I had to flick off the mustard booger before putting any on my sandwich because I'm not a barbarian.
