1610. Bucktown pour la bouche

A chef down on Lake Pontchartrain
Cooks food from which I can't refrain
He serves a charcuterie

Of pork there in Metairie
With flavor that's simply insane.


Forgive the near-rhyme of lines 3&4.  They originally read
   He serves a bouquetiere
   Of lamb there in Metairie

but it's not pronounced boo-KET-uh-ree (as I've heard a few waiters mangle it.)

If you don't like the 'ut' and 'et' then
A chef down on Lake Pontchartrain
Cooks food from which I can't refrain
He serves a fine roast
Of lamb shanks on toast
With flavor that's simply insane.

but I really was trying to rhyme Metairie.  Sigh...
