This is actually another parody, namely of Villon's well-known ballad with the famous line, "Where are the snows of yesteryear?"One of the most parodied poems around -- even Michael had one in last year's Light Bake-off. Is that why he picked this poem, or was it all the food, which is right up his alley? I enjoy food in poems, and I like the food descriptions in this one. I also think it's well crafted technically. And I think it's an utter bore. There is nothing new or imaginative in this -- it's all been said about food & fat before, in countless poems, countless prose articles, and day to day talk.
