PORCH PONDERINGS

That Again?

PROMPT March 21st

What food or dish have you never eaten but would really like to try?


Manna. Like God gave to the Israelites in the desert. They state it tasted like honey, or coriander. But typical of humans, after a few meals they complained.

“Manna, again! Come on, God. I cannot eat this wonderful food one more day. I know it has everything I need for my health and welfare. It has every nutrient. Everything I need to keep me healthy and strong while I wander in this desert is in this little wafer. It doesn’t need refrigeration. It appears like a miracle each day. But we want change!”

Then I thought of Forrest Gump and Bubba Gump shrimp.

Manna spaghetti
Manna manicotti
Manna hollandaise
Manna a la king
Manna scampi
Manna chow mein
Manna soup
Manna stew
Manna loaf
Manna meatballs
Manna grilled with corn
Manna roasted with vegetables
Manna subs
Manna scrambled
Manna patty melt
Manna filet
Manna tetrazinni

Perhaps manna was the fountain of youth. A cure for cancer. Maybe this would cure Covid-19. Bring back manna! Put some salt on it and I would eat it every day.
