One recalls Ms Liné from Almodóvar's LABERINTO DE PASIONES (1982) and LA LEY DEL DESEO (1987). In the latter she plays young Antonio Banderas's mother, but in the former she is Princess Toraya, divorced from the Emperor of Tiran, cruising in drag to seduce her queer stepson Riza Nero (Imanol Arias).

"Your [lus] is like a ragin' fire
You're a [gimba] on the loose
The [snack] is your desire
But when the [barakat] is hot
You're bound to feel the fire
And when the [barakat] is hot
You're bound to feel the fire
[Barakaaaaaaaat!]"*
*sung to the tune of Rebbie Jackson's "Centipede", 1984.

Alt: GIF from the music video for "Centipede" (1984), showing singer Rebbie Jackson in a red dress dancing on a platform in front of a set of stairs down which a relatively small tiger is stepping; she makes elaborate and exoansive gestures with her arms and hands, and lightning flashes have been edited in to appear as if she creates them.

One used to bake; no longer. And, no, one does not taste food before it is served. And one certainly does not put any utensil to one's mouth and then back in the pot . . . 😒
