Let's Eat!

Goldfinch60



The plate sits before me

And there it is, my Ribeye Steak,

About three quarters of an inch thick,

The dark brown parallel lines

Patterned over it

Showing it is cooked well,

Streaks of white fat within it

Giving it the wonderful flavour

That will be inside me soon.

The crisp chips by its side,

Mushrooms and onions in attendance.

I slice through it with a sharp knife

And the red inside showing its cooked,

Cooked rare, to my perfection.

I raise the fork to my mouth

And taste this delicate glory,

My mouth waters around the meat

And I chew it easily and swallow,

Swallow the wonderful pieces.

 

My world of food glory is here

And can only be enhanced,

Enhanced by the red wine sitting there,

Sitting there beside my plate.

I raise the glass to my nose

Smell the wonder of my Rioja,

It goes to my lips and I sip,

Sip this beautiful nectar I like so much.

I enjoy every moment of my meal,

The steak and the wine soothing my mind,

Soothing my mind and heart.

So come on all join me,

Let’s eat!

    You didn't invite me. You knew I would only add water to the Rioja and spoil everything! lol.

    • Goldfinch60

      Yes, that is why I did not invite you Orchi, Rioja is best if it is unspoiled.

        I can't even have fizzy drinks neat. Have to add water, or else I'm full of gas. No change there then?! lol.

        Ah Andy, have you ever tried a Florentine steak, it's our most famous dish here in town , red to perfection. What a wonderful poem. I can't think of anything more delicious than a perfect steak and a glass of red. And company such as yours and Mary's 💖

        • Goldfinch60

                I'm in. Nothing beats a rare steak and some red wine. Why is everyone hungry today? A great description og the entire event. Like every other reader of this I am now hungry for a great steak, mmmm. - Phil A.

                • Goldfinch60

                  So true Phil, steak and wine is such a great meal.

                  Ooh, this write has gotten me hungry! The wonderful easing into the dish, the appreciation of its preparation and presentation to the red that sits beside it. I like Cabernet or a pint of Guinness, but this just invites the reader to enjoy and partake. Lovely and delicious!

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Michael, much appreciated.

                    I too enjoy a pint of Guinness. Cheers!
