Whatever you do
be careful with that zingy coloured fruit
as you carve through the peel for its zest
it’ll come back at you as fast as lightning
blink – and you’ll miss it as it flies headlong toward your eye
it’s a flavour that’ll make your tongue sing
and bring a tang to any fruit pie
but watch out – its a fruit that’ll fight back!

It’s hard to really appreciate the dish
without taking some time over it
the fish – had been swimming with others
free to explore – developing
evading all predators –
from the polar bear in the north
to the seals and penguins in the south
all to be caught by a net
trawled to a port and
cooked up by a chef
battered within an inch of its old life
in oil so hot – it almost leapt onto the plate
and served by a waitress, Annette
while eaten by the regulars with chips and peas
its eaten by the gastronome
with lemon and tartar sauce……Flavour? DEEP!
There’s something about your shade
you could be a fresh lemon, or a zesty lime on the canvas
the artist just can’t decide,
for the fruit in the bowl can be your colour while it ripens up
turning yellow or green when its ready for eating

For years, they’ve been doing this
launching a layer of thinly cooked batter
into the air with
precision and height – could you say it was
perfect ? maybe – but that all comes from the
entry of the pancake – back into the pan
drizzle of lemon and a bit of honey ? just the way to finish
#Fruit #Sponge #Custard #Pudding
Something to eat not quite after
Partaking in the evening meal, – full
Of yummy fruit – or maybe even Chocolate!
Now, its nice to have with Custard
Great Hot (or Cold)
Enjoyed by all after teatime
Food…..or should I say Foooood!
I could be some time with this particular part of the challenge !(sic)
I mean where to begin – I’m a bit of a foodie. I enjoy my food – not just the meats but the pasta and vegetables as well. Christmas time sees a smorgasbord of delights, from Spiced Ham to cheesy pasta bakes – not forgetting of course Christmas pudding and Battenburg Cake
My Nephews are partial to a bit of Jelly and custard at Christmas, and for the adults aside from the Christmas pud, there’s usually the Content for a trifle on the go. But this year they helped make something really special – a tray of gingerbread men…now I don’t know if any of them escaped the Christmas table but one or two of them definitely did a disappearing act…

A Food acrostic – not to be confused with the game you throw a ball at 🙂
Sealed up in the big plastic bag
Kept in your travel case
Is a multitude of flavour – A rainbow of taste
Tastebuds tingle, at the very
Thought of flavours
Like Lemon, strawberry, Lime, Orange and Blackcurrant
Each little sweet, exploding with flavour
Sensational
give me a taste of italy
wi fresh pasta, tomatoes and herbs
make that sauce sing
serve it up with
grated Parmesan and lemon
and juicy green olives
taking me to Napoli or Bologna
without the need of a plane ticket
Lowry outlet mall costa, 21st march
a foodie poem by inky
Light lemon sponge
and luscious lemon jam
yell out a spring special to
enjoy with an afternoon cuppa
really zesty and delicious
