| I need your help again for this expression "a noble mouth wash with a good finish" in the following dialog : I : So you're still set on the rack of lamb, the crown roast and what was that brioche ? B : With camembert. (The camembert is a french cheese with a strong taste which may give bad breath but which is delicious !) I : Oh well, what the hell ? I'll just be sure to pick up a noble mouth wash with a good finish. B : Oh you don't have to do the shopping ! Does that mean that I. want to buy some mouthwash with a good perfume to have fresh breath or that she wants to buy another dessert ? |

| Hello Polaris It's probably a humorous phrase for "a bottle of wine". It's a "mouthwash" because you rinse your palate with wine to taste it; "to have a good finish" is a term from wine-tasting (= "to have a good aftertaste"). All the best, MrP |
