cleaned, cut into squares
sun dried, salted.
tossed around
once in a while
with condiments,
tangy spices.
ginger, chillies, mango
fighting for supremacy.
bottled through summer
soaked in so long-
oozing with taste.
mouth-watering
aroma reaches out
well before uncorking!!

Fish perhaps? Spicy yummy fish.
Speaking of fish, that's what i'm making for dinner tonight, fresh cod fillets battered and fried.
Sheesh, I'm starving!
