The InkwellI
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

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

I’ve never got my head around this
from Lancashire to Yorkshire, from Spain to Greece
I’d sit in amusement
as master chefs who made the grade,
cooking food as a show, Practicing their trade
toasting a poor citrus slice – within an inch of its life
(and occasionally catching the chef – causing strife)
presented with fish or meat with salad on wood –
it never really tasted how it should
the foodanistas would praise it constantly on the net
but do the same things at home – No – i’d bet
instead they post a falsehood on twitter
as burnt citrus isn’t tasty – it’s really quite bitter!
Salford 28th November 2016
it Started with the cherry patterned plate
All covered with various little oriental delights
Then, came the main course – noodles in an oriental sauce, meats and veg
Every mouthful , a different explosion of taste
A Delightful meal – full of colour, aroma and flavour
Result : Hunger Sated.
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!
