Premium Member Tasting Poetry


Today I am without inspiration
and write a poem
not with words but with
chuck beef cubed and coated
in flour, seared in a pot
until golden brown 
then deglazed with a good cup 
of cabernet sauvignon - I pack 
the lines with shallots, celery, 
carrots, seasoning and a can 
of crushed tomatoes and then cook it
for hours in a gentle oven. 

I savour the smell all day,
hear it bubble in the silence
as it deepens 
within the dark magic of itself,
taking on meaning beyond
its mere ingredients. Lifting
the lid, the thick crusted gravy
announces its completion.
Come, take a spoon
and plunge it into its depths.
Taste poetry.


Premium Member A Pickle Party

All the Pickled produce gathered
At Branston Manor - if you please!
They entered via a staircase
Made of Jacob's Crackers and Cheese.

The Gherkin Girls and Chutney twins,
Who's names are Tom and Mango
Compete against the Beetroot Troupe
To make the taste buds Tango!

The Beetroot Troupe are not alone.
They have a wise old friend
Zingy Mr. Vinegar.
Always ready to defend. 

The Silverskins call upon
The Shallots acapella choir
To pack a punchy added flavour
In a pitch that can't go higher.

The sour Grapes sulk in the corner.
They apparently should not have come.
Only Pickles were invited.
It was not open to everyone.

The Eggs got pickled with too much drink.
They thought it would be fun
To gatecrash the party
Just to confuse everyone!

It was an event to be remembered.
But alas, though sad to say
The party ended abruptly.
For they were consumed that very day!

Premium Member Henry B Throws Dan Shallots Ashes Away

Henry a notorious highway man
robbed the simple couch, as only he can
young woman in Victorian dress screamed
he was the nightmare of which she’d dreamed

Henry’s bounty included a box with ashes
Dan Shallot’s remains, which he quickly bashes
he was after silver and gold you see,
This loot irritated the young man, Henry B.

He robbed six more coaches that came down the road.
Threw out the stuff that would have his horse slowed
then galloped off for New York City, hoping for a bigger take
Dan Shallot’s unhappy ashes blew off, toward Michigan Lake

Henry had to answer for his crimes when he got to heaven’s gate
He stammered and blubbered, his replies were not great
Dan Shallot put his hand on his shoulder and said “it’s all right”.
He too had been a highway man, a robber at night.

He spoke of her with high regards
her frown showed her disapproval

I must behave as my
thoughts differ considerably
As is such I must disagree
that your words of kindness
jive against the actual  experiences
where you to say
 difficult to deal with
specific disagreements or disapprovals

Steeped in Legend The Mallard Mimic

The Mallard Mimic 
is a myth....
it calls for a well trained
chef to use his knowledge of meat and wines
to create a standard
that many would wish for
and are willing to pay
to have
------------------------------------------------------------
the usage of duck fat to cook white potatoes
and then be arranged as scales attop
a turkey cutlet
that is stuffed with
mushrooms, prosciutto
olives,shallots
spinach
a sprinkle of nutmeg
and garlic with
a slight touch
of anchovy
on top of a bed of puff pastry
served with
a  garlic parmesan roasted
asparagus dish
---------------------------------------
with a side of 
maple pecan
butternut squash
Medallion
-------------------------------------
with a buttery eggnog
yeast roll
-------------------------------------

One would
crumble pork rinds
and truffle zest
add grated cheese
and sprinkle it across the top
and serve with
Malbec!

Premium Member Pasta: a Fork of Heaven

PASTA: A FORK OF HEAVEN

In a pot of bubbling boiling water,
I drop hard nine inches long bundle of farfelles..

Minutes passed,between my fingertips, 
I pressed one strand, al- dente! 

In a  platter glittering white, 
I form a fist of fresh-cooked pasta noodles,

pouring a hot scoop of white 
creamy silky sauce made from:

parmesan and pecorino
melted, blended in a saucepan,

flavored more with a savory stock, 
tossed of shallots, saffron and lean meat.

The sauce must be rich enough 
coating all the threads of farfelles...

Garnishing it with grated cheese,
teaspoonful crunchy diced bacon,

a pinch of chopped flat leaf parsley... 
Voila! Who could refuse this tasty fork of heaven?

A Familial Condition

Disgruntled, they come to me as bit-parts
ripped from black and white movies. 
Mad aunt Anastasia, who should have been a nun.
One of her hands will not touch her,
the other has been carried off
by wolfish priests.
The Holy Ghost has pickled her in a jar;
she floats now between worlds. 

Uncle Sean, the satyric commis-waiter,
looming above a meaty cleavage,
flambéed Steak Diane with a sapid leer,
poured cognac and butter,
commingled shallots at the table.
Then after the hunt, he’d triumphantly decant
into whomever. 

Cousin Tommy died early,
but not before he had burnt through
the Old Testament.
A brimstone disorder gnawed his innards,
left him lacking normal human kapok,
kept him bubbling until a self-inflicted wound
blew out his brains.

There are cousins removed and living
who disassemble themselves, with zealotry
or ennui. None took the middle way,
none quietly settled-in
to live among damp-stained regrets.  

Like larks’ tongues, they sing in the invisible.
They reside in the far reaches,
until dark angels flame out
in their berserker eyes.

Persific reasoning

She said of the day it would
be fabulous.
Kind to all such warmth 
that that the outdoor dome
provided. They spared no expense
to the company and delight of those
in attendance. They had three domes
ten electric insirating toilets
a dome used as a kitchen ten portable
shipping container homes.
tommorrow they are bringing in a larger dome
for a dance hall. This area is to be booked up until
the summer of 2029. 
Tweleve weddings
Eventio Lucha
Three superbowl parties
4 rassla mania parties
Three basket ball palay off parties
swingers Club party and award show.
I heard them say, That she used the
electric something, all we smlled was "doo-doo"
making referance to the smell of the chitterlings and maws
simmering on the outdoor steamer.
The actaul quote was,
'All that talk about the incenrating toilets and chitterlings
made us come up with some vail humor!"

Rehersting with the accordaning, he spoke about the beef and pork plates
