Raw Carrots in Lard

    Pickles in tea
      black beans with cheese
    Surely no way to
      a man's appetite please

    Carrots in lard
      cornbread that’s hard
    Cantaloupe feathered 
      and tarred…  

    His fiancé looked nice
      but she couldn’t boil rice
    So he settled for a slice
      of toast ~ freshly charred

The toast was the best thing in that food list. Take charred toast, if there is a chance of nausea. Good luck with your culinary efforts.
