My Blue Cheese Is a Dark, Reddish Brown

Of all the foods in all the lands of culinary charm There is but one offender my taste buds can’t disarm While others may enjoy it, perhaps fried or as pate’ I would rather eat a heaping pile of fresh steamed hay Some may like it on white bread or in a Shepherd’s Pie I’d prefer a great big slice of pie that’s made of fly So be it Chicken, Calf or Cod, not to mention Duck I would favor meatloaf made from ground up hockey puck To this day, the only food that makes my stomach quiver Is the gastronomic venom that’s known to the world as “liver”

Ew, I wonder if you grew up when "good" Moms served Liver once a week! I relate to the Liver quiver and found your poem a well-written, witty and entertaining write. Most enjoyable! CayCay

I would have to agree. The fist bite starts off with a deceiving texture and then the liver taste kicks in. I think you met this challenge very well.

Yep, meatloaf ( if done right) is quite comforting on a cold night and a little red wine doesn't hurt either!!

This had me laughing Mike!!! I also can not STAND liver!! When I was young my mother made it with bacon ... but overcooked it so badly. It was just as if we were eating leather ... with no taste. Really enjoyed this one!!!! Best of luck in the contest! ~ Judy
