'Menus-that's where <br />the poetry is today! ' <br /> -overheard at Meritage <br /> in the Claremont <br /> <br />I saw you that evening <br />at the Neaveau <br />Grille in the Hotel <br />Centro in Caracas— <br />I remember the Warm <br />Crouton of Pigeon Breast <br />with Black Cherries <br />on a Mustard Seed <br />and Red Wine Cream, <br />and I followed you to Anguilla <br />where we lingered <br />at the Gourmet Restaurant <br />at Frangapani, <br />and oh, the Belgium Chocolate fused <br />with Soor Cherries Armagnac— <br />and then our rendezvous <br />at the Edgewater <br />Hotel in Cork, the <br />Confit of Duck & Plum <br />Spring Rolls with Pickled Red <br />Onion & Coriander Salsa! <br />And when we kissed <br />at the La Palapa <br />in Guayaqil <br />over the Spiny Lobster <br />Salad with Mango, <br />Foie Gras and Arugula! <br />Come with me now, <br />my darling, <br />to the Lanz <br />On Lake Constance! <br />Over Boiled Eifel Deer <br />with Cranberries <br />in Genever Sauce, <br />Savoy and Bun Dumplings, <br /> <br />I shall declare <br />undying love.<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/18-gourmet-love-poem/
