Blest be the loaves <br />Which gave thee sight to hear <br />My song of culinary magnificence. <br /> <br />Oh balsamic jus! <br />Drenching the prosciutto <br />And its latticed asparagus spears <br />With its bittersweet inky viscosity. <br /> <br />Oh porcine portion! <br />Pungent with odours of the gorgeous East; <br />Herbs aromatique de Provence <br />And menthe...that je ne sais quoi! <br /> <br />Oh lemon pie, thou torte of tarty tingles <br />Dancing like a thousand giraffes <br />Through my buds of taste - <br />Pirhouette on your gravelly base. <br /> <br />Oh chesse, oh kase, oh fromagerie! <br />Flavoured lard I sing my praise to thee! <br />Congratulate the oaten vomit <br />which gushes after the gorging.<br /><br />Cornelia Ceilings<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-a-simple-meal/
