Egg and Soldiers

 

Sometimes you get a craving for the food of your childhood
Of butterscotch Angel Delight,
Beans on cheap white bread toast with lashings of butter
Or corned beef hash.
Fruit cocktail out of a tin with only half a cherry, 
Artic roll,
And lucozade with the orange film wrapping.
Neapolitan  ice cream
Evaporated milk mixed with the juice of tinned mandarin oranges,
Coca Cola in glass bottles
Custard with skin
And semolina in school only made bearable by a blog of raspberry jam
Cheese triangles with the ends bitten off and the cheese sucked through.
Full fat ice cold milk

Tonight I had a lightly boiled egg 
And soldiers
