As long as we are discussing our favourite childhood snacks, I thought I’d discuss
a popular snack in Asia: curry puffs. I am a savoury person and practically addicted to spice, so this golden-crusted, spicy-potato-filled concoction, popular in Singapore and other parts of Asia, clearly qualifies as one of them. It was certainly one of my childhood go-tos.
If its golden crust is not enough to thrill you, a potato or chicken filling will. Tangy, golden, and layered with spice that will set your tongues on fire, you can consume it on its own. Combined with its too-crisp crust, this snack is hard to beat. Enjoy this curry puff sonnet.
Crust so golden, potato pure
Merged together, served as one
Leaves tongue with spice-coat wanting more
Morning boost. eat at noon
Concoction that serves all time
Puff that’s never served to soon
Puff a vent and anger’s salve
Pastry, spice, now mind a-wonder
Why does momma only give me half?
Curry puff, fried, childhood delight
A snack so small, yet tasty might..
