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
