“Torture Cuisine by Stewart Stafford
Kitchen death growls,
Whipping that cream,
Beating those eggs,
Burning all the toast.
Knifing diced cheese,
Drawn, quartered ham,
Straining tomato sauce,
Crushed-down walnuts.
Peeling potatoes naked,
Then smashing them up,
You say purée, I say mash,
Turkey and chicken skewers.
