Almond and rich honey toast with Golden caramel and natural cream bisque ...Yum!
You wear it, I'll eat it!
Hilarious, Rubrick! Ogden Nash's take on the subject (excerpted):
Some singers sing of ladies’ eyes, / And some of ladies lips,
Refined ones praise their ladylike ways, / And course ones hymn their hips.
The Oxford Book of English Verse / Is lush with lyrics tender;
A poet, I guess, is more or less / Preoccupied with gender.
Yet I, though custom call me crude,
Prefer to sing in praise of food.
.
.
Some painters paint the sapphire sea, / And some the gathering storm.
Others portray young lambs at play, / But most, the female form.
'Twas trite in that primeval dawn / When painting got its start,
That a lady with her garments on / Is Life, but is she Art?
By undraped nymphs / I am not wooed;
I’d rather painters painted food.
