Taste Test

Silence, please
The official taster is working

She cooks like her grandmother's spirit
Personally holds the spoon
And I hold the sacred office
Of Official Taster of the room
She lifts the ladle, I step forward
Solemn as a supreme court
One taste, eyes closed, long pause
"Madam. This soup... is a work of art"

She rolls her eyes at my verdicts
But watch her hide that smile —
She cooks a little louder
When the judge is in the kitchen

Taste test. (verdict)
Another masterpiece from her kitchen
Marry the cook, my people —
Best advice I ever heard. (taste test)

Taste test. (verdict)

One taste. (eyes closed)

One taste, eyes closed, long pause

Taste test. (verdict)

She switched the whole game up
"Your turn to cook. I judge"
My rice came out... philosophical
The stew held a personal grudge
She tasted it slow, kept her face straight
Said, "Hmm. Interesting... choice"
Then ate the whole plate anyway —
And there I heard my future's voice

She rolls her eyes at my verdicts
But watch her hide that smile —
She cooks a little louder
When the judge is in the kitchen

Taste test. (verdict)
Another masterpiece from her kitchen
Marry the cook, my people —
Best advice I ever heard. (taste test)

Taste test. (verdict)

Truth is, she ate my terrible rice
Like it was a five-star plate
Because love isn't the perfect stew —
It's finishing each other's mistakes
So the verdict is unanimous
The court is fully agreed
The cook and the taster, life appointment
The cook and the taster, life appointment

Then ate the whole plate anyway —

Like it was a five-star plate
The cook and the taster, life appointment

Life appointment in her kitchen
Marry the cook, my people —
Best advice I ever heard. (taste test)

Taste test. (verdict)

One taste. (eyes closed)

Taste test. (verdict)

Taste test. (verdict)

Court is adjourned
Dinner is served
