Simplicity

Is

Unassuming

Like lamprey and rice

In Porto

Evasive

As if sea cucumber

Held by chopsticks

In Tainan

Unexpected

Like pigeon pie

In Edinburgh

Predictable

(Always was)

Boiled beef in bone marrow broth

In Vienna

Unforgettable

Street baked sea ray  

Wrapped in banana leaf

In Singapore

Delightful

Like lamb wrapped in wine leaves

In Aleppo

Truffly

As they like pasta

In Ferrara

Over-acclaimed

Like every dish

In Paris

Bomba rice and shrimp

For the best paella

In Valencia

Green or red

As I always remembered

The curry dish

Cooked in Mumbai

… While I have been

To every continent

And tried every dish

For my day

To end with love

Bread, cheese and wine

Remain
Simply

The best
