Most Commented Food Poems (148)

It used to be they'd throw them out.
Not much meat there was no doubt.
Someone cooked them up with sauce
Scarffed them down and no longer toss.

They discovered a fine and tasty new treat.
Easy to make and much easier to eat.
What was this food that was discovered?
Will it catch on and stay uncovered?

Chicken wings, that's the food.
No longer just catfood my hungry dude.
BBQ with saunce and have for dinner.
Add special recipes and you'll be a sinner.

Had them in places you would not linger.
But wonderful wings,stay and lick your fingers!
Places I'd drive an hour each way,
Just to have their wing special that day.

Wings, wings that's the thing.
Whole restaurants now hear Ca ching!
Started off pennies a piece for a wing.
Now order some and hope you're a king!

Smooth, creamy
delicious, dreamy
lip-licking luscious
fruit on the bottom
live cultures, best
aids body’s zest
balance to maintain
try Peaches & Cream

As dawn breaks, she can no longer wait.
The thirst is to great, to quench her palate.
A journey she takes, 10 miles straight.
Thru darkness she goes, a bucket she throws,
on top of her head.
Wild animals she dreads. Strangers lurking ahead.
Sweat covers her face, but with each step she takes.
A love of family awaits, left behind at her place.
An old rusty pipe. Just in sight. Cloudy stream of water,
opened to her delight!!

A talk on “Sonnets”, once did attend
fascinated by the sound was I
of words that move to tears or grin
skill lacking, my pen has yet to try

Not academic-taught are my poems
no poetic training have I had
but my pen writes its messages
whether mediocre, good or bad

My writing is free-verse systemic
from feelings, deep, deep within
that rise up into words polemic
words, worlds ready to begin again

Once lost somewhere in my heart
this rhyming verse I now impart.

Get out the skillet
add some fat to it
let it get spitting hot
add the bacon watch it sizzle

Now a couple of eggs
and a tomato or two
butter the bread
pile in the food

Nice tasty sarnies
for the hungry man
see the grease drip
down his chin as he eats

Replete now he can sleep
a repose sweet and deep

“Love It or Hate It"


Brewer’s yeast, fermented
sugars into alcohol
before 1680 discarded
then, with salt added
hypertonic, broken down
now, loved or hated by all

concentrated, packaged
by Liebig for people to eat
as small earthenware pot
stores this hearty breakfast treat
with dark secrets blended
to whet morning’s appetite

from UK via Sanitarium
New Zealand transformed, thick
black, savoury, potassium-rich, too
sugar, caramel, added to enhance
bringing its weaker, less
tangy taste from NZ to you.

then, gutted by fire in ’66
now, earthquake-shaken
damaged processing plant
threatened as morning’s staple
rises to NZ$100 per jar
twenty times usual price
distilling to culinary sacrifice.

Warm-toast advice given
to make it go farther
savoury vita-spread with ease
on hot buttered crumpets
Avert panic, focus to store
Yeast extract rises to please

icon should remain
if brand can sustain
taste in minds, as stock
from shelves away does fly
Marmite Squeeze Me
should…will, to you, make its way
by July, if Paddington Bear
has anything to say.

Found you in a grocery store
all cold and dry
you put a tear in my eye
took you home cleaned you up
took you down to your skin
gave you a bath
that didn't last
couldn't stop the tears in my eyes
all red and raw
I ate you up and sucked you dry.
yellow or white I don't care
you put a tear in my eye
mouth is hot burnen me up
O'h sweet onion of mine.
I ate you million times

Mushroom soup

Mushroom soup, to my delight,
Was a delicious bowl made just right.
A friend prepaired that very day.
Could taste its savory ingredients, in a mystical
Magical way.
Flour, im sure, a bit of salt & sugar to taste.
A creamy milk substance, wow!!! This shroom soup
Is amazingly great.
It really awakened, my palate.
Not to mention my senses, were alive!
In a strange hallucinated state,
Did my spoon, by itself, just take a dive?
Mind shattering, altering thoughts,
As I clinged on to my bowl.
Not realizing my visual perception,
Seemed a wee...ok totally off.
Laughing uncontrollably, great conversation, good food
And drink.
Enjoying every morsel, as my suspicious mind kicked in
As I finished my last spoon,
My friend smiled & said with glee.
Shall we have, another round?
Then I replied anxiously,
With a smirk on my face, I said
"Most definetly"

Jimmy shues open tonight,
serving monkey brains,
Sheeps eyes soup,
Whale and squid platter,
Small exotic insects,
Rat burgers,
I think i ill give it a miss
not into exotic food,
Just lost my appetite
sorry Jimmy,no offence,
Your food looks lovely,
Gimme a shout when you have a bit of beef,
Just cut my hair glueing it together
putting it in my ear to keep it warm,
an earwig.

Take an onion, finely dice,
Add garlic and risotto rice.
A few minutes fry in olive oil,
But not too long, or it will spoil.

Add stock and wine, about half a cup,
Stir well till rice doth take it up.
Keep adding stock, little and oft’
Keep stirring till thy rice be soft.

Add parmesan to give it flavour,
And whatever herbs you favour.
Add salt and pepper if you wish.
Then tip it all into a dish.
