“Mommy! What’s for supper tonight?”
Is what you hear every child yell.
The pre-recess rumblings pacing as quickly as light,
Every tummy impatiently waiting to hear the bell.
Anyone alive who doesn’t like food?
Well, I doubt!
Have you never desired to have a cookout?
To get those mushrooms, potatoes and tofu barbecued.
Oh! I hope not!
Waffles with berries n’ maple syrup, or stuffed pancakes?
Or perhaps, a bowl of milk soaking some corn flakes?
With such variety, what’s your choice of breakfast?
The question that would exhaust!
The Italians have given much to the world!
From the spaghetti, around our fork, swirled,
To the lasagna, the thin crust pizza, calzone n’ risotto,
Not to forget, their tiramisu, panna cotta, and oh! Gelato!
Among our various all time favorites,
Unfailingly, pizza provides the tastiest bites.
Followed by fries, , burgers and tacos,
And also those cheesy beans n’ nachos,
OH! OH! The delicious spaghetti Bolognese!
And the ‘unsure what to eat’ food – Mac n’ Cheese!
And those understated “mouth-watering” desserts!
Where do I even begin!
“You need Chocolate!” our sweet tooth forever asserts,
Be it a cake, a brownie, a cookie, or a muffin!
Here’s a treat for the Indian Food demander:
The hot fluffy Idlies, with the crispy Vada,
Drowned in the delicious steaming hot Sambar,
Also, a good pair with a crisp crisp Dosa.
Those homemade Aloo Parathas topped with Butter,
Butter Naans with Dal Makhani n’ Paneer Mutter,
Oh YUM YUM!
Never to forget, Rajma Chawal and Curd!
The perfect companions for an Indian rainy day:
Lots of Hot Pakode,
With some Masala Chai well stirred.
Enough temptation given, it’s a “wrap” for now. :D
