Steak

A friend commented to me
that she would only eat her steak
cooked in one particular way.....
It had to be that way....
..... she had not tried other ways
....  but it had to be that way.

It made me sad that such a meal
could be consumed in the same taste
time after time....
A lifetime of the same taste....
Such poor appreciation
Of superb variation
.... possible gustation.

I like to experience many varieties
of flavor.... and texture....
.... and olfactory titillation

Each one is remembered....
and appreciated for the differences

Different size... different texture...
different color and flavor
Some are spicy and hot....
Some just melt in my mouth...
So that my tongue can test each little part
and search for the best.

Oh... the delights of  variety....
I love them all.....
