  What it means

  Literally “mustard after dinner.” Means that something arrived or was done too late to be of any use — the meal is already over. Similar in meaning to “już po ptakach” but with a more resigned, wry tone.

  Vocabulary

  • musztarda — mustard
  • obiad — dinner / lunch (main meal)
  • po — after

  Grammar note

  'Po obiedzie' uses the locative of 'obiad' after 'po' in its temporal sense.
