1.
Take one of those Jamaican Ginger Patty-Loafs,
dark brown;
slice half-wise,
to produce two discs.
Toast these discs until crispy and for
a minute or two, melt on their rough faces
some well aged cheddar cheese.
Top with a delicate spoonful
of strawberries that have been soaked
in whiskey,
and sugar,
since last February
2.
An avocado, not too ripe,
cubed like travel-dice,
tossed with a handful
of nasturtium flowers
in a light misting
of red-wine vinegar
3.
Fingers of potato,
Fingers of plantain,
Tossed with herbs & olive oil -
singed in a pan -
then baked for half an hour
4.
Apples chopped quite thin and
then soaked in coconut milk,
combined with graham crackers,
a touch of cinnamon,
drowned with ground-beef,
should be slopped together and
moulded into hacki-sacks.
Grill on a bbq,
with hickory on the coals
5.
Rose Petals
in the Spring,
rising from a Spinach and
Pine-Nut Pesto,
amid Boulders of
Mild Goats' Cheese!

Duncan,
ReplyDeleteI want to compare your food with what my Mom cooked for us:
-brown rice (selection of toppings were ground seasame seeds or soy sauce)
-cooked kale, no added flavourings
-or sometimes we’d have cooked brocoli, no added sauces or flavouring
-miso soup
My Mom liked to shop at the London Food Co-op, so most of what we ate was either organic or very healthy.
-cooked organic chicken
-fish (the kind with lots of bones in it)
-(mostly no sauces on these meats)
-desserts with little or no sugar in them: Carob chip cookies, Rice Dream Ice Cream
-organic apples
-nori which we would cook over the open flame of the stove sometimes and put salt on it
-watered down juice mix
-beans
My Mother liked us to eat in silence usually for supper because she’d said she’d been working around kids all day. Perhaps she was thinking about her day in that silence..
