What's On the Menu

And with her “Chicken Nipple Dip”
                                and crackers set to side
She checked her table once again
                           and smiled a smile of pride

The ‘Duck Tongue” toast and “Pig Pate’”
                    she thought were sure to please
And don’t forget, she’s made a batch
                            of tasty “Old Goat Cheese” 

The “Possum Parfait” glaze dessert
                          no sweet tooth should resist 
But don’t disturb her ‘Aspic Owl”
                    lest she would smack your wrist

The gelatin of ‘Bladder Fish”
                              salts her most lively stew
I’m not sure if it’s still alive
                              but sure it’s good for you

So when your invitations come
                              do save the date for sure
I’m certain you’ll not want to miss 
                             this night’s “Menu Du Jour”

Can't wait. Can I have 'Horton a-la Hoo' for dessert? If not, how about Green Eggs and Spam?! ~ Dr. S.

Mike, you astound me. This is food I'm not familiar with. Malt's menu is French or Italian with some Maltese included Interesting menu. Pity I can't travel now.
