Refrigerator opens – and
out of a frosty draw
comes marshmallow, biscuit and chocolate
kept hidden in a cherry ice cream
you’ll be talking about in the playground for weeks
Reactions to the initial tastes
out of nowhere – sounds of immediate
approval….an immediate suggestion for
dessert after tea.

Early morning rumble
cars muffled by double glazing
dripping of water heading for the drain
saved by a silver – armored plugstop
fingers frolicking in warm soapy water
throwing it towards the face in play
towel comes to the rescue
and they all make their way
down to the kitchen
porcelain meets cocoa bean
and Milk or H2O
transporting our hero into another velvety dream
while waiting for his toast to go pop

a sweet piece by inky
You stood in the newsagent
observing the aisles
like an aztec worshipper
in front of a chocolate altar
Armed with your golden coins
you lifted up the chosen bar
and waited to pay at the till
The foil shone under the lamps
as you caught a sly smell
the waiting would be worth it
Golden coin for for chocolate heaven
now rubbing the bar , releasing that smell
as you take your time, with each square
A brisk Snap, an expectation
A scent of flavour, a delactation
A chocolate piece melts, a taste sensation

Someone should really have told you
how zingy that pudding really is
every day you headed for the ice cream cart
rounding on this raspberry combo
but your face – after the initial taste of the raspberries
engaged into full on scrunch mode as your
tongue took on the individual taste
I
Bitter, Salty, Sweet or Sour
Sensations landing on your tastebuds
What is that wonderful fruity flavour
It’s on the tip of your tongue
but you haven’t said it yet
II
Raspberry Jacket and Banana Shirt
with trousers and shoes to match
maybe it’s the height of fashion in the magazines
certainly makes you talk of the town on the shopping run
III
Country or Town
Suburbia or out in the sticks?
Cottage, Terrace, Mansion or Shed ?
Choice of Home – is down to you
but it’s not everybody’s cup of tea

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.
Born on a spikey berry bush
Purple / pink fruit bursting with flavour
bursting with juice – pressed to the touch
cooked down in a pan – to a tasty mush
turned into jelly – a taste to savour
spread over bread – or sometimes toast
kids enjoy the tastes so much
Breakfast time they enjoy them the most
Tap, and Unwrap
That’s how it goes
and a scent of orange
wafts up my nose
Scent – then a taste
of orange from oil
captured in chocolate segments
held in the foil
Dark light and White
Mixes of chocolate and zest
Melt in the mouth zing
A taste that’s the best

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

An acrostic by Brian f Kirkham in response to the prompt Bitter
Biting into an unsweetened cocoa bean
Is an experience left best to the professional
Tasting it – is hard to describe
The flavour is there – but there’s no sweetness to it
Even the growers prefer it roasted and served in a cup with sugar
Rounded flavour – No – wait till they’ve gone to the chocolate factory
