Overfond of chicken liver pate, 
No plant cuisine lures his palate, 
A meal without a dish of meat 
Can never be a feast of treat
Meat or fish or crustacean based 
With nothing else can be replaced.
But a veg item is a good starter 
Appetising is what does matter.

Artichoke then starts the prologue 
With avocado pear in vogue
In just clearing the throat easy 
Through tender veg delicacy 
Paving the passage for the main
Dish that's beef or fish cooked in wine
With appropriate sauce to taste 
Lest the fine glands make a riposte.

Then must arrive lobsters or prawns 
Served with garlic sauce to enhance 
The nuance of the cuisine rasa
Fed by a chef 'Virtuosa' 
Salad with sauce is fine dressing
The tongue delicious caressing 
And not choosy about dessert
He may then not care to assert 
His favourite plum to round off
The end delight in sweetened laugh 
But fruits smothered in sweet icecream
Help him realise his gourmet's dream
