My favourite food? What’s on my plate.

What are your favorite types of foods?

My favourite food?

What’s on my plate.

It’s seldom I’ll complain.

Variety’s the spice of life

Enjoy what you are given.


I love a plate of home grown veg

With meat or fish accompaniment

Perhaps a roast with gravy an’ meat

Or tray bake in the oven.


Sometimes we will spice it up

My wife does brilliant curry.

Rice or pasta, bring it on!

Bulgar wheat, quinoa.


Chinese can be very good

We love a stir fry Friday

But Indian, Thai, a twist of French

Whatever comes my way.


I’ll happily try a Michelin Star

Or fish and chips for supper.

Some have food but can not eat

And some would eat but have none

We have food and we can eat

So thank the Lord we’ll eat it.

With acknowledgement to Robbie Burns for the last bit.

  1. Such a lovely poem,
    So pleasant to hear,
    What food you get
    Like to eat it dear,
    We get what we deserve,
    Nothing to complain
    Just a beautiful day,
    To hear such a poem
    From a wordpress user.
