December 24, 2008 - A Condiment Disaster
This is a gingersnap and a piece of fruitcake.
With mustard on them.
Lessons learned ---When you have a party, be sure to clearly state that the ketchup and mustard both go with the pigs in blankets. Also don't forget to share that gingersnaps and fruit cake are desserts and are meant to be sweet. (In Chinese there is only one word for both cracker and cookie.)
or
When you have a party, keep the desserts far, far away from the mustard, preferably on another table.
For the second party, I chose method #2. And we saw no mustard covered sweets. What a relief!
PS The person who put mustard on the cookie and fruitcake said it was delicious. I've got to trust him because I'm not trying it.

So what did they think of the pigs in blankets? Just curious what kind of "pigs" you wrapped up too.
This post made me giggle.

Mustard on gingersnaps just looks and sounds gross. I don't think I'd rush to finding out if it was tasty or not!

Barb, do you not call these pigs in blankets? We translated it for our guests. They thought it was a hoot!
They are very tiny hotdogs. Called cocktail franks, I believe. Here they're served with hot pot. Anyway, they make great pigs. :-)

Ewww! Hilariously ewww!
I remember when my Korean cousin first visited the US. She had SO many questions and she had the funniest look when she'd point and say "Mustard?" Always with the ? at the end. Americans have such strange customs and palates!
