I used to eat baked beans as a child
I found comfort in their tomatoey taste mild
I used to dip in my chips and fish fingers
as a sauce to tickle my tongue and linger on
now I have them with a cheesy baked potato
or mix in some chilli powder
the taste still comforts me I am not much of a chef but I am prouder
of my efforts when the beans taste different or better than their original taste
I try not to waste
any of the beans
I remember my friend eating them cold
but I wasn’t impressed or sold
on this idea
I think they need to be at least warm
I suppose they are still edible my friends way
but maybe in habits we cannot stray
even though our tastes may change
I like to think I am not that strange!
