" Applaud is the verb, applause is the noun. " I think the writer here is just trying to sound wacky and unusual by mixing up something that is beautiful to look at (her hair) with something that would be desirable to eat, and in a bowl! (to make it even wackier).
- " Applaud is the verb, applause is the noun.
- " I think the writer here is just trying to sound wacky and unusual by mixing up something that is beautiful to look at (her hair) with something that would be desirable to eat, and in a bowl!

- " (since if a spoon is used, not a drop would be wasted).
