I cook a lot of currys and Asian food, often using whole spices. No matter how much I try, there always seems to be a stray cardamon or clove that I haven't managed to fish out. Is there a word to describe the situation where you are eating a lovely mouthful of curry, only to be the unlucky person to find the lonesome whole srpice, chomping down on that stray cardamon? I've always thought we should have a word for it.
