I got the inspiration for the alum from a Bugs Bunny cartoon involving an opera singer given alum. It makes your mouth pucker up and your throat tighten up.

When Brian took my lunch, as usual, he was caught just as he was about to eat it. The teacher, Mr. Delgado, then ate it instead.

Needless to say, I had to do a bit of explaining, when he found out whose lunch it was and asked me what he had just eaten.

He had been strong-arming me out of my sack lunch desserts for several days, so this time I brought in some graham crackers on which I’d spread copious amounts of Chinese hot mustard. I told him it was a honey-and-butter spread, and he believed me (heh). He took a big bite…

…I had to run pretty fast, but he never touched my lunch again.

It was a bundle of fun. And some chefs fell for it.

However he had made special, filled-with-partly frozen Minestrone soup jelly doughnuts.
