| TOMATO
You say TOMATO, I say
TOMATO. We all say tomato and we know
what we means: "tomato"
- the only fruit to take its right
and prideful place on the plate of
a breakfast.
It provides a tart
supplement of Vitamin C and sex appeal
to a meal otherwise devoid of it.
The tomato is native to South America
so how it got here God only knows,
perhaps an Aztec man brought it over
in a bag.
The tomato needs cooking
to be allowed to nestle in amongst
the eggs
and bacon,
and a hard frying or broiling (Americans
for grilling) should do the trick,
after you've halved it roundwise with
a knife.
A small amount of sugar
sprinkled on its cut side will see
it caramelise, which is nice for you
and for us all. |
