No man ever forgets a gourmet,
When, with his delicacies pet,
He makes an art of gastronomy,
A ritual of consuming envy.
A Westernised one spurns fast food
As his palate says it's no good
For it leaves dead his sense of taste.
Its items are a choosy waste
Buffet meals are his bete noire
As their dish list creates a scare.

To enjoy a delicious fare
He requires a congenial air.
He frowns on a sloven in dress
Who does his eating spirit depress.
The sum of diverse eating aids
Must always earn their classy grades.
Crockery, cutlery and wine.
Glasses shine elegant and fine
The best food matches vintage wine
Its always the hallmark or sign
Of a gourmet feast in leisured bliss
European desserts it can't miss
Black coffee w:ith liquor should blend
A Havana cigar must upsend
The soul in rising rings of joy

And it's puffing peace to enjoy.
A gourmet feast is an ecstasy
Of the tongue in flavour spicy.
