Heed, No Head Cheese! (revised)

Made from the head of a calf or pig

a  jellied meat

often times replete with the feet

leaving me wondering why anybody would eat

head cheese thank goodness is not really a cheese of lactation,

if it were

I’d dread all cheese

by guilt by association.

Finnish Dishes

I was going to make a list of delicious Finnish dishes

let alone finish it

Vegetable Traveling Plans

Belgium is known for two vegetables I detest,

the first being Belgian Endives

and the other Brussel Sprouts,

While France is highly regarded for two that I like the best,

Morels and Chanterelles.

So for you it should be very easy to tell

Which of those countries is on my traveling ins

and which is on the outs.

Offal

Offal is just gawd awful.

Never would I try a spoonful,

Let alone a jawful.

Don’t Know Much About Geography

I’ve never been to Gambia, either Mongolia, Tanzania,Patagonia, or anyplace that ends in stan.

Nor have I been to Bulgaria, Nigeria, Siberia, Serbia, or Liberia.

The same could be said for  Bangladesh and Marrakesh.

Okay, I’ll confess.

Until I looked them up on Wikipedia I had no idea where any of them were.

So you guessed it!

I must be American.

(another confession this verse was originally going to be about fusion cuisine until it went in a far different direction)

 

You Say Mayorca I Say Mayorca

“Majorca or Mallorca?”

Y do you want to know?

A Non-Add Hominy Ad Hominen

THE MERGANSER

You can try to duck this anser.

What is a merganser?

Scotch Eggs

To make Scotch Eggs your name doesn’t have to be McDougal

but if you delete the hard cooked eggs and sausage meat

While using only the bread crumbs

You certainly are completely frugal.
