Ode To My Vegetable Samosa

Oh,
And Oh again..

Oh, you're so inviting,
With your light brown slightly crispy corners,
You're such a cheeky triangle,
Minty, and coriandery,
You entice my saucy condiments,
Your translucent bronze sari skin wraps and teases,
Cumin sin fragrance releases.
And as I dip your points in my cucumber raita,
Your lingual volcano kisses my melting snow.

Roasting, spicy,
That will do nicely,
Veg delightful,
A mouthful of you,
An eyeful,
Transcendental Eiffel Trifle.
Ooh you are a cheeky triangle.

Cheers so much Laura.

Raj, as for dessert, even looking at most Indian desserts is enough to bring on diabetes. Having said that, I will put on my "to write" list a poem about pistachio kulfi - a particularly favourite of mine!

Cheers,
Suki

Oh you got me salivating there Suki.
You have deliciously taken the humble samosa and sublimated it into a seductive piece of culinary foreplay.

What's for dessert?

Well done.

Hi Folks,

What can I say? Thanks for enjoying my food-porn doggerel. Col, I didn't know if you click suki the suggestion is Saki. Perhaps I should have called myself Saki spangles instead. I like it!

Often when you break through the outer skin, the experience can be disappointing - slightly soggy vegetable matter in a puffy case. This poem had me admiring the triangle again. Excellent fare Suki.

I like this very much Suki. Is it me, of have you single-handedly elevated the vegetable samosa to food heaven with lines like:

"your lingual volcano kisses my melting snow"

and "your translucent bronze sari skin wraps and teases?"

And the eyeful/Eiffel trifle is truly inspired.

Oh,
And Oh again..

you are the Heston Blumenthal of wordy inventions Suki.

I like that if you right click on 'Blumenthal' (with red squiggly line underneath) the suggested option is 'Enthralment'. And if you right click 'Suki' one of the options is 'Saki'.

If Heston was to do the samosa it probably would have trifle inside.

love it !
