A heady brew
lightly ferments
creating a liquid
of powerful punch
happy days
on the day this stewed fruit
lands into the bottle

Above, you’ll see a picture of a ‘traditional’ plum pudding, eaten at dessert time around the table at Christmas time….before anyone goes ballistic….i’m following the rules of the previous challenge – and it just happened to fall on the page on the origin Christmas puddings
So, when did the craziness start inky?
Those in the know state it kicked off as a wheat porridge with fruit in the 14th Century. Veggies might not have liked this however – as recipes varied – having additions of beef, mutton or even porpoise
(Not to be enjoyed if you have veggie suet in your christmas pud!)
Three centuries later – they thickened the mix with breadcrumbs and eggs – and Dried fruit and your Christmas spices of cinnamon and nutmeg were added – alas – no plums. In 17th Century Yorkshire – they ate it for Breakfast (Not a bad idea)
We eat the Victorian edition of this classic today – No Meat, but spices, fruit, sugar and flour (oh and booze!). Usually after a suitable pause after the Christmas Dinner.

#Poetry #Flight #writeclub
like a host of enthusiastic raindrops
passing the window with colour
like an apple and pear
racing to reach the grass below
like that fruit
falling into a copper pan and resting on a pie crust
like a host of travelling blossoms
moved along by the wind
like a worm dropping
from a newly owned nest
like a bird hopping off a roof
to catch that worm
like a suitcase on a travelator
on a brand new expedition
like a new adventure
under sunny skies, off across the sands

Egg Sugar Flour and Butter
combine with fruit for something after tea
a little thing that’s fruity and sweet
with a layer that’s simply utter
delicious, flavoursome and buttery
its the fruit covered layer – that gives it a swirl
served up with custard its hard to beat
a childhood favourite – why not give it a whirl ?
#fruit #tree #pie #San-San
Growing against the stone tudor wall
hanging fruit ripens for the pie
coming from the tree but once a season
the fruit answers the cooks call
as over the garden young birds do fly
could this be why its baked with haste
there could be no other plausible reason
to deprive the feathered friends a taste
#coloryourworld #cyw #fruit #banana #yellow
Born out of a tree
A yellow skinned treat
Nice between two slices of bread
Also appreciated by young uns in a cake of some sort
Note though whether in a cake or not – they’re great with custard
A note of caution – don’t eat the peel – they’re not like apples

A sensation
Thats what i guess you would call it
Out of the fruit
Many segments of zingy fruit
In a haphazard
Circular formation
Tangy on the tongue
as you bite on the segments
navigating your way to the juice
great explosions as the segments
empty their flavoured cargo
round the mouth
its like an orange – but some say they’re
nicer than that, and easier to peel
expect smiles around the fruit bowl when the kids get home
#CYW #Apricot
A fruit smaller than its cousin, the peach
people say its not as hairy, but tasty nevertheless
reactions – some say its just right – others say wheres the rest of it ?
its nice on its own, or in a yoghurt or even with cereal
craziest thing of all – you can get them in a packet – dried
of course, you don’t have to eat them dried
then again why would you want to?
#Fowc #combination
some call it a recipe
others a mixture
several ingredients
coming together in a bowl
to form the perfect pudding
and it isn’t the flour , butter or eggs
that are the star of the show
or even the fruit thats gone in or over it
no – this is a team effort
served up on a serving spoon after the chicken dinner
key question – anyone for custard?
#wordpressprompts #fruit #food #core #acrostic
Call it what you will – but its vital to the life cycle of an apple
Out of the fruit and thrown away – there is no tree
Rotten fruit on the grass turning to mush
Exceptions come when you’re eating – the middle bit doesnt taste nice
