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.
