Rather a basic western menu from a chef of ill repute. The bamboo one is a bit devious
Claustrophobic carrots sighing
as they leave the soil
Peas that plead to simmer when
the water wants to boil
Potatoes that must shiver when the
knife descend to peel
Cabbages that when undressed a
coldness surely feel
Runner beans that grow new legs when
they are chopped to size
Bamboo shoots that almost always
end in painful cries
Onion layers that quiver when they
sense it’s time to part
Vegetable quandaries hereby
served up à la carte.
Perhaps you’re stimulated to add your own (even more exotic :-)) double set of ingredients? If so, let me know.
