I
Classical scholars
sat in ivory towers
will tell you – being far away
there’s nothing better than
the tastes of home
II
Preparation
for the evening meal
is everything – Peeled and chopped
and ready – for roasting, grilling, baking or boiling
of course – salad greens? just need rinsing and dressing
III
Food Fads ? a kitchen for all tastes
Fish and Chips ? Pie ? or Chicken perhaps ?
brought together with carrots and parsnips
Served up on a plate with greens
or a round bowl with barley as a broth
