So why does it say "mush flour" and not "flour mush"? Wouldn't we expect a reverse word order, i.e. "melmuss"?
I have long suspected that this is meant to say "musmel" rather than "mussdel", but of course it was never more than a suspicion (still true today).
Conforming to what you write, this is not a type of "mus" (porridge) but a type of "mel" (flour).
To be more precise, it is a type of flour from which you can make a porridge.
While this may seem confusing, it is the same as "Suppenhuhn" (soepkip) from which you can make Huehnersuppen (kippensoep). Not sure if in English you would call this a soup chicken.
Now all this does not seem compatible with rubbing it on one's belly.
