cocktail sausage, pork scratching, chorizo and pork pies are all low quality meat based snacks that i think are nice if someone made me choose however i think i would have said despite its testicle like appearance i do particularly like a scotch egg

This poem utterly and blatently and purposefully ignores the themes that drive modern poetry. It is insultingly apolitical. If all poems were about what food we like to eat, then literary schollars of the future would be as boring as dieticians. A history of what peoplr like to eat and that is all. Everyone hates dieticians! If the sausages represented something alegorically the poem would have been OK. Maybe the conflict of feminism as a belief vs. feminism as a tenet? PS I like chorizo

You must have eyes like Pukka Pies
My friend
You don't despise cheap meat
You celebrate the feat
Of low quality snack producers
I think you are a poet
And don't know it.

not political? how utterly shallow is your analysis. why what is the political 'hot potato' of our time? thats right, food..
is vegetarianism not political? so conversely the opposite must be true.
do i actually need to explain that by choosing snack products from all corners of the globe i am commenting about multiculturalism, concluding by focusing on the tension existing between this and your love of your own chosen or given 'flavour'. to further illustrate this i tried to rhyme the word suet, but i blew it. as for testicular appearance scanning well, who's does? certainly not mine.

I like the way you've built up to a triumphant exclamation about your chosen snack. Great Work!

How is this an ode? Do odes have to have meters?

I don't know why, but this made me think of SPAM.

Excellent. I loathe Scotch eggs but like their shape. However on a technical point: they are not testicle shaped (unless your experience with nuts is more limited than mine). Which I doubt. Do try my own tasty bollocky poems.
