Totally encompassed in this little parcel
out of nowhere,
a sausage or two
sends sensations to the tastebuds
totally making them wild with each chew
inquisitive minds wonder – what’s in it that’s so delicious ?
eat up! and you’ll find out!
#Socs #Choices
Choices you make, can form you later on down the line
How you make them is down to you
Of course, there are many paths to travel, to where you want to go
It’s a decision you have to make…..
Cold or Hot, Coast – Countryside – or City
Even eating, can give you pause for thought
Should you have golden syrup or chocolate sauce on your pancakes ?
#Fowc #Barbecue
Best Beef Sausages
Are happily sizzling over
Roasting hots coals
Beefburgers drip hot fat in
Expectation of sizzling onions
Currently cooking on a skillet, while
Up on the far table – next to the sesame seeded buns
Every kind of sauce and relish imaginable – they’ve even got Curry!
Something to note when you next go into the supermarket
that durum wheat spaghetti you picked
off the shelf for a really cheap price
probably has a more local flavour than Milan or Turin
Although they’ve stuck to recipe –
noted chefs will tell you – the product hasn’t seen hair of a
Dock or airport in Italy – it’s been made right here.
Locating where its been made
of course – is a bit difficult – ingredients printed
on the label of the packet in very fine print
keep looking – and you might spot – Made in the UK.
Together on the vine they grow
Over time they develop
Making a change from green to yellow or red
As the colour changes so does flavour and sweetness
They can be eaten hot or cold, in soups, fried or grilled
Or cooked down and used in a pasta dish, or salad
Salford, 31st May 2017
The cheesecake didn’t last that long
its remnants lying on the bottom of the crystal glass tray
shortcake digestive and chocolate crumbs
combine with the faintest of pink swirls
created as the strawberry sauce
dripped down onto the glass
i don’t know what it is…
but theres summat in that there chicken and rice
that gives it a special kind of Zing
with each mouthful , senses bring the dish to life
aromas, sweet, peppery and sour
drift up the nose as if to say. I m so Zesty
aromas of spice chicken, pepper and pineapple
tickle the tastebuds as spoon delivers each tasty mouthful
waking them up with a message from the dish
I’m So Zingy, enjoy!
several sausages
sizzle in the Noonday Sun
awaiting a bap
Hamburgers announce
readiness with aroma
as the coals they glow
Seasonings ? Brown or Red
Little people line up
in Anticipation
and over the grill
the most important question
onions or pickles?

Oh Happy and Humble tomato!
In your youth you joined the ranks
of the horticultural army
labouring on your leaves
in the summer sun
Rewards a plenty
as the best recruits are picked
for display in a culinary tattoo
in a Salad or Pasta dish
Numbers in your ranks depleted
but new recruits appear
ready for a new assault
at the summers blue sky
