Part Two: "Muscat" flavouring

"Muscat" flavouring is:

1. Green.

2. Tangy.

3. Steamy.

4. No, really steamy. Steamy like Jill St. John or Sophia Loren. Hubba-hubba!

5. From Germany and sometimes Japan. Despite this, it played only a marginal role in World War II. "Muscat" flavouring, for all its bold statements, is largely apolitical.

6. Unless you back it into a corner. Human rights are non-negotiables, even for Axis flavourings.

7. Tasty, but only occasionally delicious. Check the label for freshness.

8. Vaguely redolent of cheese and cigarettes, like the French. Even though it is not French.

9. It could be a collaborator, though. Gosh, what a caution that is!

10. Uninterested in Cher. She can take all that fancy-pants celebrity and all those pimentos and stick 'em somewhere else.
