Notes About The Poem

I have nostalgic memories of my dad making chicken Liver pate' at Christmas time. He spent hours perfecting his recipe and adding just the right amount of sherry and garlic. It became a tradition that he served on Christmas Eve. I wish I had his recipe as he is no longer here, but the memory and taste of his pate' will live in my heart forever.

Chicken Liver Pate'

A holiday tradition,
Christmas time with Dad.
A gourmet appetizer.
Chicken livers cooked,
with sherry, garlic.
Keep cold to-
spread

Not sure I could stomach anything liver related but it's so cool you have this great memory. So many good memories are food related. Great contest

Ahhh!! He probably did not have a recipe but just knew what to do to make it taste perfect. Thanks for sharing this memory and giving my poem a place on the winners' list. Sara K

Jan, thank you. I have thought about trying to make it only if I had my Dad's recipe.
