Tim had a serious thing
For
Ice cream.
No matter the flavor
It was something
He’d favor.
His mama thought it
Extreme
To hold a lone food
Supreme,
So she came up with
A scheme
That worked wonders on
Tim:
Every new food she’d
Mix right into the
Ice cream.
So she fixed it with okra
And kale
And some beans,
And added an olive
And handfuls of
Greens,
And for his dessert
Even mashed in
Sardines.
And the boy ate the lot
Smiling full to the
Brim.
It was not until college
He caught on to the
Theme.

His mama knew how to make the best of his weakness! But ice cream and okra, and sardines! If I were Tim, I would have given up on ice cream. Great take on the prompt, Na’ama

😀 glad you liked it!
Yeah, I’m thinking, perhaps Tim had no taste-buds and only ‘cold sensors’ … 😉

Errrhhh. Somewhat like my mother hiding foods I didn’t like in my mashed potato. Still didn’t like them. Put me off potatoes too. Maybe she did it with icecream too cos I don’t like that, not unto this day

Oh-oh … I knew Tim’s mama was up to no good … Fortunately it seems Tim’s taste buds were nonexistent … but I totally get the annoyance (and the betrayal, almost) of having foods one does not like, sneaked into foods one loves. At least not as a practice …
But, oy to not liking ice-cream! 😦

Never have liked it. Not any flavours, nothing. Some of it makes me feel decidedly queasy.

Yeah, I have a friend who cannot stand the texture and temp of ice-cream, and never understood the lure of it. They find it overall too rich and too sweet.
I do like ice cream, but I’m picky about which ones I can have more than a bite or two of. The very rich ones are not enjoyable for me and I tend to prefer the milk-based ones over the cream-based ones, or sorbet over too-rich ice-cream.
As people say, to each their own … and we’ll leave the sardines ice cream to Tim … 😉

I’m not keen on sweet. Fruit, yea, but nothing esle. Never have been. I’d rather have a roast parsnip than a biscuit. As for sweet potatoes, excuse me, no, it’s just too sweet for me

😀 Just comes to show, people are not all cut from the same cloth, and we should each have space for our taste preferences whenever possible. Here’s to yummy foods, whichever ones they are for any one of us! (I know a toddler who prefers pickles and broccoli to cookies or chocolate, and it is just as well, perhaps, health-wise!)

That was so funny! Methinks Tim’s tastebuds are definitely wacked! Sardine ice cream… sounds like something they’d make on Iron Chef!
