Instant gratification
noodles and vegetables
swimming in a flavoursome pool
tasty little number brought to life by the
application of just the right amount of hot water
now – don’t forget – stir it up or you’ll find
there’s lumps at the bottom of your cup (you dont want that)
Something sensational was coming from the Kitchen
in seconds the waft of chicken , ham and vegetables
made its way through the ground floor and
moseyed upstairs to tell my senses
everybody – grab your eating irons – its ready
rendezvousing with crusty bread and salt and pepper
in a combination you will
never forget – a total culinary triumph
got to warn you though – its just out of the pan…watch the bubbles

Its been cooking on the hob for a while now
blue gas flames keeping the cooking going
while the flavours mingle and merge
the star of the show has been bathing in a warm bath
while her co-stars have been cooking in the broth
carrots and onions, parsnip and turnip
together with the occasional green
regional variations see peppers and tomatoes
and perhaps the addition of garlic
(just don’t tell the seniors – that ain’t “northern”)
pearl barley or noodles give it bulk
served up in a bowl with warm crusty bread
a definite antidote to the retreating mercury
and the weather outside

He had to come back
He’d completed his journey
Hopping over sands and hills and dales
He enjoyed the vast open planes of the grand canyon and
Hot desert plains of the sahara
However, something was calling him back, so he
hiked across the hills from the local airport, where
at home , mum and dad were waiting
his reward ? crusty bread and Home made soup
An acrostic on the colour orange (or is that the fruit orange)
Of course, you all know this colour – its the colour of the fruit
Red meeting yellow in the paint mixing pot
As the two colours come together – colour of
Navel and Seville
Greet you as it hits the paper – its not just in fruit though
Expect to see it on the spice rack or the soup dish

The pan – the arena
for potatoes carrots and cabbage
to star in a theatrical number with the humble tomato
dancing around in a pool of delicious stock
releasing flavours and aromas into the air
stock cubes and herbs await stage left
but their arrival has to be timed right
as the vegetables dance and dive around
developing taste in the pan
when all is ready – the final act….
diving headlong into the porcelain soup dish
where a brown bread cob is waiting.
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

#Food
a foodie acrostic, by inky
Carefully crafted by cooks of the highest order
A combination of the finest root vegetables , stock and seasoning
Rotating slowly in a silver pan until the
Root veg is just right, you can eat it as it is
Or stick a blender in the pan to make it nice and smooth
To pour into a serving turrine
Perhaps you say, it could have magical properties
as the recipe has been passed down the generations for years
notably, it reaches parts your chemists cold cures dont
and it’s tasty to the person that’s eating it
changes to little things like seasonings, are expected through time but
everybody knows the core of chicken, onion and carrot
and mum and dad know – they’ll have empty bowls and seconds asked for
