Beef Cheeks

The texture threw me at first:
Like pig feet, gelatinous.

I was expecting something meaty, 
Like a steak. 

Combined with a mild hummus,
And after three courses already

With more bacon and oil than 
I normally eat in a month,

I wasn’t sure I could go on.
But I re-centered, and tried a second bite,

And it was delicious, with a crisp exterior,
A meltingly soft interior,

A dish I would never have thought to make

And was privileged to try.
