Wendy Watson Poet Epulaeryu

A Taste of Wales

Sifted flour with sprinkled spice,
                                            cinnamon will do.
                                 Creamy butter, chilled and diced
                                            eggs and raisins too.
                                          Baking will complete ~ 
                                                 this tasty
                                                   treat.


                                                17.10.19


An Epulaeryu poem is a poem that is entirely about food. It has seven lines with a total of thirty-three syllables. The meter of the poem is set so that it is, 7/5/7/5/5/3/1.

 Welsh cakes are traditional in Wales and have been popular since the late 19th century. I have fond memories of coming home from school to be offered a warm, sugar-sprinkled Welsh cake fresh off the griddle! Delicious!

Rico Leffanta October 17, 2019 at 8:03 PM My Pont-y-pridd mother in-law used a baking stone. Always a treat! Jechyd da! Wendy Watson October 18, 2019 at 3:10 AM How lovely to have such a personal comment, Rico! That's just up the road from my Mum's in Bridgend! Thank you so much for reading and 'stopping by'.

Matthew Anish October 17, 2019 at 5:27 PM Never heard of that from before so you taught me something new! Tasty verse here! Peace & Love Matthew Anish Wendy Watson October 18, 2019 at 3:12 AM Thank you,Matthew. I can easily bypass the shop made ones but Mum's are something else! She won the village Welsh cake award year on year!

Mark Toney October 17, 2019 at 2:47 PM Congrats on your podium finish, Wendy! You remembered that the way to the heart of an Englishman is British culinary delights! :) ~Mark Mark Toney October 17, 2019 at 4:51 PM Thanks, Wendy! Wendy Watson October 17, 2019 at 2:51 PM Hi Mark There are no 1st 2nd 3rd etc in these blogs just two types of placements - PP and HM but no ranking between each. So congratulations on your placement too. I enjoyed your take on it.

Tom Cunningham October 17, 2019 at 11:47 AM Mmm I love em, Daughter introduced me to them and always bring some home. There's a shop in Cardiff that bakes them fresh and they're still warm as you eat them. Tom. Wendy Watson October 17, 2019 at 2:53 PM At least there are two fellow poets who appreciate what I'm referring to! Thanks for 'stopping by', Tom.

Brian Strand October 17, 2019 at 8:51 AM Nice memory Wendy,in my case it was calling at Gran's on Tursdays for a piece of her newly baked bread pudding. Wendy Watson October 17, 2019 at 8:56 AM Also with a sprinkling of cinnamon? I can almost taste it just thinking about it - another one of Mum's 'repertoire'! Thanks again for all the fun challenges,Brian.
