Pickle-tickle

(From Cooking Light)

Winter time
pickling greens and roots
freshness and
succulence
for long-lasting endurance 
main ingredients

Wash, pat dry
then trim chop and cut
let them bask,
sun and shrink
gently rub with seasoning
let steep in the brine

Sunbathing
for a week or two
sweating then
plumping up
in own juices with spices
sweet, sour, savoury

Tart flavours
a firm favourite
pungency
fieriness
lip-smacking taste enhancers
my soul a-tingle

Piquant notes
palate a-tickle
ecstasy
redefined
dance merrily on my tongue
am satiated

Utter bliss
tingling tanginess
sensational
sensations
a gustatory gala
so gratifying

Tart flavours
Palate a-tickle
Pungency
Succulence
A gustatory gala
Am satiated
