Nouvelle Obscene
and serving it with a twirl
The chef produced nouvelle cuisine
A modernist concoction of foods
Rarely together seen
Oysters served on shredded asparagus
Pan-fried shrimp in butter sauce
Served with a side order of salad
And inevitable French-fries, of course.
Minced chicken hearts sautéed in butter
Wrapped in streaky bacon strips then poached
Before being placed artfully on pureed celeriac
With perfectly formed triangles of toast.
Almost raw steak and lamb meat dishes
Seeping blood all over the plate
And they tell us this is fine dining?
Not for me thanks, mate!
Birds of almost any description,
Often fried or poached
Sometimes they'll even put it in a oven
And serve it as a proper roast.
But why do they serve fish crispy?
Why do they obliterate the delicate flavour
By overcooking a dish that one is meant to
Linger over and savour?
Chefs who produce food that is little more
Than a work of art on a dinner plate
It might be clever and all that,
But as a meal it fails to satisfy or sate.
Give me good old proper food:
Pie and mash; luvverly fish 'n' chips
And leave all that poncy la-di-da crap
To pretentious snobs and annoying drips!

I am feeling unwell. Nothing in particular, just 'not right'. However, I am thinking about people who are really ill. Roland and Justine are in my thoughts...
I am thankful for your caring thoughts. I had a really 2 bad weeks when they had my meds too high and I went toxic. Now they have it sorted out. I have went a whole week without a seizure or bad brain day. It has been along time since I could say that. Hoping you feel better and Justine recovers quickly.
I am hoping you are feeling better Andy hugs xx
And Roland know that you and your health is always on my mind too hugs xx
