A pinch of genius

Exploring the flavours that shapes our culture

By MzwandilePublished about a year ago 1 min read

"Garlic is the sole author among vegetables—listen to its fresh pages turning.

Your nose is studying the history of guileless, rustic genius.

Olive oil is a shining, smooth rebuke to atheism: taste it.

Watch the Parmesan make notes and add parsley punctuation.

Do you feel tradition making the present more palatable for your mouth?

Modified changes:

- "sole author" (added "sole" for emphasis)

- "rustic genius" (replaced "peasant" with "rustic")

- "rebuke to atheism" (replaced "challenge" with "rebuke")

- "palatable" (replaced "bearable" with "palatable")
