FOODS OF THE WORLD

Each and every one of us,
Loves to share and discuss,
The wonders of tastes that delight,
With each and every bite.
No matter from which land,
You’ll find a food most grand.
There are so many varieties,
Thanks to all different societies.

The flavours of Mexico hot,
For wimps are certainly not.
Famous for all sorts of chilli,
Eaten with everything really.
Delicious Burritos, Nachos or Tacos,
Topped with fresh Avocados.
This food with colour so bright,
Your taste buds can only delight.

The Chinese prefer to stir-fry,
In a wok with temperature high.
With cabbage, peas and bok choy,
Dressed with plenty of soy.
Deciding on Yum Cha with tea,
Will fill you only with glee.
With spices both salty and sweet,
Your taste buds are in for a treat.

The Italians make pizza to die for,
Your left always wanting more.
Pasta with cream or tomato,
Enjoyed by all with much gusto.
Top it all off with cheese,
Rich flavours always to please.
Tiramisu or Gelato for after,
Enjoyed with friends and much laughter.

Indian food full of spice,
Served with saffron and rice.
A curry that’s sweet or mild,
Or something more hot and wild.
A Vindaloo might make you cry,
But don’t be afraid to try.
It may be your new favourite dish,
For Indian food may be all that you wish.

There are many more countries to go to,
Like Switzerland with it’s Fondue.
Sushi from Japan,
Or Bulani from Afghan.
But for now we will have to make do,
There are far too many to get through.
But share with your family and friends,
Recipes that your soul do cleanse.
Inspire, create and share,
Enjoy this food love affair.
