I call this collection “Odes to a Food Allergy.”
the turkey divine
but why did somebody put
mushrooms in stuffing?
and
chop them way too small
`shrooms invisible to eye
make me Shiitake.
Of all the foods to be allergic to, it’d have to be something that can be disguised like an Eastern Bloc spy. Ugh… I practically starved during the portobella boom a few years ago.
And, just to add insult to injury, I attended a weddding Saturday where the fliet mignons were covered in a delightful steak sauce…made of mushrooms. A tell-tale bit of mushroom would have been enough to scare me away to the lemon caper salmon, but no bits of `shroom could be found.
I’m guessing I’d have been a bad Smurf.
