The Best Of Food Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

Favourite food

The food I like is meat especially pork
Cooked till the bones part from the flesh
Served with cabbage, carrots and spuds
Cooked together with the pork
I never order beef because I dislike chewing
As it is usually an ordeal.
However, I like liver cooked the same way as
The pork, fish too if it is free of the annoying
Little spiny bones which are an appetite killer.
Meat cakes in brown gravy are my Sunday roast
I have a simple taste in food
Like poetry that is not full of fancy words
Showing how erudite the poet is, when in fact
It is old poems purloined from a library.
