Yeah, it's on. Nice to meet you, Xiang-Fei! I've heard you're lots of fun. About your mustard question...
In all honesty, and I hope I'm not repeating Jin here, I'm not sure. I have a theory that cheese may be the essence of brain, but I haven't met a zombie and a willing subject to really test that. If Saki's saying the soul doesn't taste like mustard, she probably has a better idea than me, and you probably want to get away from her as soon as you can.
I don't want to discount Rei or anything, though, so I'll put this idea forward: Mustard can be the essence of the soul, but that doesn't mean it has to *taste* like mustard. Think of it like carrot cake, which doesn't taste like carrots. Different things can cover up a mustardy taste if you have a lot of it.
I'm not speaking from personal experience, of course, as I haven't tasted any souls myself. (Or if I have, it was probably in a past lifetime not entirely of my own, and I don't remember.) And if Saki keeps talking about eating people and magic making them taste sweet? Stay far, far away. Maybe you can sedate her with cheese, but I'm pretty sure that won't work.
