Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Greek Lunch

Spinach pie and feta cheese
And grape leaves stuffed with rice
Formed the basis for a lunch
That really was so nice.

Eggplant dip, tzatziki sauce
And salad, smartly dressed
And served with olives; who could ever
Sit there unimpressed?

Sliced up chicken, pita bread
Plus other dips and cheese
Made a meal which all could see
Was meant to sate and please.

Of course, there also was dessert
And snacky treats before,
The kind of food that fills you up
But still, you eat some more.

So thank you, Pam, my hostess friend,
For starting off my week
With a lovely luncheon, filled with dishes
Tasty, fresh and Greek!

Maurice Rigoler October 2, 2016 at 9:07 AM Ilene, I love Greek food and occasionally make my own stuffed grape leaves. I also enjoy homemade spinakopita made with philo (filo?) dough and shaped in small triangles. Delicious! And then for dessert there's fabulous galatabourikos (a custard made with wheat, honey, vanills and baked wrapped in philo dough. As a young airman I visited Athens, an experience I still hold dear to this day. Wonderfully written poem, too. Thanks for reading me. / M
