I'm insane

This recipe was concocted in a fevered fit of insanity and I figured that this would be the only appropriate way of presenting it, enjoy:

*Once upon a midnight dreary, working till my eyes were bleary,
I stumbled through the kitchen door.
While I rustled, stomach rumbling, muttering, cursing, swearing grumbling,
the goal, to sate my inner carnivore.
Here is something, something in my freezer door,
only this and nothing more.

Ah discovered meat of porcine, ground to a convenient portion,
a scant half block upon my door.
Eagerly I searched the tomes of wisdom, sages from the cooking canon,
but from my books was only sorrow, sorrow that I must endure.
For perfect partner to my porcine,
was not in my pantry anymore.

The tomes all said “pork with mango”, the taste will make you want to tango,
alas no mango hanging from my pantry door.
I spied my eyes on fruit of kiwi, the goal is pork that’s sweet and chewy,
surely this works even more.
The dinner shall be Pork and Kiwi,
twill be this and nothing more.

Presently my soul grew stronger, hesitating then no longer,
in the bowl the both were poured.
Middle stem was tough fibrous, pick it out and in the rubbish,
and do make sure the meat is thawed.
Unappetizing in appearance,
it looked like that and nothing more.

Deep into the darkness peering, I feared the meal as unappealing,
while looking at refrigerator door.
Sauce of chilli, salt and pepper,
add you this and nothing more.
“But more?”, This I whispered and an echo murmured back the word,
“No more!” Merely this and nothing more.

Back into the bowl a mixing, now I have all of my fixings,
“please taste good” I did implore.
Mould it so you have a patty, heat the pan with something fatty,
it makes sure sticking is no more.
Let my heart be still a moment,
this food indeed I must explore.

Once the pan is hot and smoking, the windows open or you’ll be choking,
add the patty, do nothing more.
60 seconds wait no touching, the surface of the meat is crusting,
wait this long and not a second more.
Flip the meat and season carefully,
flipped and seasoned, nothing more.

Once the middle pink not showing, on the plate, it will be going,
a side of salad, nothing more.
Peering with some trepidation, a prayer of mindless recitation,
“please god let this dish taste better than those before!”
The memories of past abominations,
all chanting to me “Make no more!”

The meal quickly I did devour, I watched my tastebuds begin to flower,
the taste I simply did adore.
The sweet and meaty flavours contrasted, to make a meal I wish had lasted,
all the night and forevermore.
For Pork and Kiwi is divine in flavour,
here and now and forever more.

Fortune smiled upon my combo, as unlikely as it was to conjure,
something my fevered imagination drifted ashore.
The contrast made the dish compelling, each flavour note was telling,
both fruit and meat yet not as before.
The fortune of an unlikely combo,
twas good fate and nothing more.

So now my eyelids are all bleary, writing poems doth make me weary,
as I fumble, stumble to the door.
Silently, I curse my project, so hard to make it perfect,
there’s only so many words that end in “oor”.
I bid adieu to all you readers,
read this far and nothing more.*

standing ovation of one

Bravo!

Encore, encore!

So, you had sausage with kiwi and chili sauce? HMMMMMMMMM

Lovely OP. Just Lovely.

Woo Hoo!!! flicks Bic lighter aflame and holds it aloft while standing and cheering

That was wonderful! An inspired piece of silliness!

shameless bump

Aussie to Aussie - the Mexican wave was loud and raucous :smiley: but as always stopped at the members :smack: :stuck_out_tongue:

Quick google on kiwi fruit and pork recipes found these - none actually combined the 2 ingredients in such a novel way - good luck in developing a truly new asddition to OZ cuisine

Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
Was is pork sausage or simply ground pork? I want to try it.

Pork and Kiwi Fruit and Coconut?!?!

Great scott, there are people more demented than me on the internet. :eek:

Interesting combo, though I’m not sure I’d be up to the challenge! :slight_smile:

So specifically, you just mush kiwi through pork mince, whack in some sweet chili sauce, salt and pepper, and make a patty?

Intriguing!

Terrific! The poem that is, but after all of two seconds of thinking “pork and kiwi-fruit?”, I quickly realised that it sounds like a pretty good idea. After all, apple is seen as a traditional adjunct to pork, so why not kiwifruit. Prettier colours too. :slight_smile:

(Mental note for shoping list at weekend!)
Well done, that man! (or woman. Or person.)

:slight_smile:

this brought a tear to my eye. Bravo!!

Being in a rather less sleep deprived frame of mind, I imagine something like a grilled pork loin with some sort of kiwi sauce on top would be more appropriate. Would have to be sieved though to get rid of the seeds.

Maybe kiwi and applesauce? or kiwi and chilli but the colour would be horrible unless you did a dual sauce.

Come to think of it, it might be possible to carefully scoop out the flesh such that the remaining skin can be arranged as a sort of flower… inside an eggcup with the sauce placed back in.

Would look fabulous if trying to impress. hang on scurries off to kitchen to experiment.

Great OP!

FWIW, a signature feature of Hawaiian cuisine are the pork-with-pineapple dishes, so your recipie makes a lot of sense to me. The bold combining of chili sauce with the exotic fruit suggests to me Indian cuisine, as well.

O ye gods. I fear we have witnessed the birth of a monster. And the next trendy “celebrity chef” on telly will be…?
Will Dopers get a small discount on your first best-selling book, [bShalmanese**?

:slight_smile:

Pork and kiwi? Why, that sounds almost as tasty as the beef and watermelon stew I made the other day. Great OP, Shalmanese.

Sure, I’ll dump the overstock on the dope as the public emphatically demonstrates with their wallet that they are not ready for my out-there ideas.
