 Memories

Saltfish accras were a breakfast treat

I'd sit on a kitchen stool to eat

Shuurr the sound of falling into oil

Hot enough to fry or boil

Food and fancy are still

The taste memories never at will

Let go of her cooking

    Tasty memories, Gillena, and I love the use of onomatopoeia in ‘Shuurr the sound of falling into oil’.

    Gillena the picture of the accra makes me hungry for it. Thank you for linking to the recipe. Will try to find salted cod. If not, I'll use regular cod :)

    I love the way this feels like a memory you can taste, Gillena. “Shuurr the sound of falling into oil” brings it all vividly to life.

    Much love,

    Fish for breakfast? Hmmm. They look almost good enough for a non-fish-eater to sample.
