Ode To Profiteroles.

Goldfinch60



There they sat on the plate,

These beautiful, tempting creations,

The choux balls covered with thick chocolate,

Looking so good, so luxurious.

How could the beauty of their creation be spoilt?

Could I be the one to disturb these works of art?

How could I not?

They were there for me to eat,

So I chose one, or was it two,

Put them on my plate,

Sank knife and fork into them.

The white cream oozed from within their bodies,

The first mouthful sent me to heaven.

The delicate taste of pastry, cream and chocolate.

So delicious, so wonderful;

So moreish.

How could I not have another bite?

And once more I was in paradise,

The artist’s work was destroyed,

But the chefs work sent me into raptures,

Proving that art can be found in cooking,

Especially in profiteroles.

          You are so right Andy art extend across many fields and cooking certainly is one. You bring up an interesting point that in that field art must be destroyed to be enjoyed. This was a thought-provoking and wonderful piece.

          • Goldfinch60

            So kind soren and very much appreciated, thank you.

                        I'm much more a fresh cream apple strudel kinda guy but a profiterole or two at a push would also do nicely ..

                        • Goldfinch60

                          Yes Neville, they can be pushed down.

                          A fine write as always, but I have to confess I'm not a fan of profiteroles. Nor eclairs etc. I'd rather a fudge cake or a muffin. Perhaps we can agree on mince pies? 🙂

                          • Goldfinch60

                            We can agree Tom, I have this see food problem, if I see food I will eat it. LOL
