Aunt History in the Kitchen

Aunt history is cooking up a storm
She starts with the Renaissance—
Silver coated oysters
In questionable aspic
In later centuries
She uses spam
It’s not about eating well
It’s about chewing
History is a bolus
It’s the cow’s cud
It’s the thing
Your dog finds
The Baltic winter
Is coming
Keep those jaws going
Don’t flinch
Open wide
