Written for: dVerse Poets, Food For Thought
So the idea is to urge you to write about the uniqueness of your own food/recipes. Do you feel that your food, in some way or other, defines you? I prefer that we write about food habits, but surely we can extend about any other traits that we believe defines us, locally, at least, or even more interestingly, can we use food as metaphor?
Rich dark chocolate,
and eggplant parmesan,
though I am neither
rich, dark, or Italian.
Joy abounds when I sample
foods new to my palate,
or find recipes to try.
Give me the spicy
side of life, in any
culture.
Cooking is an adventure
that I can have
in my own home. Will I
decide to keep the new
recipe? Will it become a favorite?
Baking with cinnamon scenting
the house makes my mouth water,
and my stomach growl with impatience.
I guess, I am a spicy woman of varied taste.
