ProverbWhat is the origin of the proverb "after meat, mustard" and when to use it?
The origin of the proverb "after meat, mustard" is believed to date back to 16th-century England. The saying uses the example of mustard, a condiment that, while useful with meat, is ineffective if served after the meal has already been eaten. It highlights the importance of timing, emphasizing that even the best intentions or solutions lose their value if they come after the right moment has passed. The proverb serves as a reminder to act promptly and not delay important decisions or actions.
