Poems About Onion Bagels

Gerard @ The Presurfer, one of my favorite online sources of peculiarosities, rarely does poetry.

What body of food poetry might there be to accompany visual art, prose and film? If none or neglected, then Brillat Savarin must surely be spinning in his grave. 


Contributions anyone? I don't suppose Purple Cow or Green Eggs and Ham would count. T'is a pity that...

Poems About Onion Bagels via The Presurfer by Gerard on 11/1/09
