Nice!
souffl? serves its purpose, anyway…
though the cough and the cook should be examined…
souffle’ like a half-completed possessive… although that's fascinating in its own right.
I'd never thought of a soufflé cracking as they seem so soft, but it's true!
The combination of a cough and a crack certainly emphasises the dismay of a recipe that has gone wrong, and it was probably going to be a massive treat, perhaps with dessert wine or mulled wine. Wonderful combination of sounds, even if the soufflé crack is unheard just like a scream in deep space.

late winter cough
