The Chestnut Yogurt Haiku Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Elgab89 / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago This reminds me of my younger years when I used to travel all over Europe with a free rail ticket (I used to work for RailEurope) and very little money in my pocket. In Paris I used to resume my morning meal to a chestnut yogurt and a croissant. What enchanting year I had!... More Prep:2m Servings:1	Elgab89

I can make it to Paris in about 2 hours. I will keep this and see how it goes when I go there next time!

I think that perhaps we may be restrictive in our limitation to Haiku - perhaps this will encourage others to open up their hearts to other forms of poetry in the kitchen. Haiku is wonderful but so is verse.

I love your description Elga! Although Paris will remain a dream, I can very well use my imagination for now... A definite 10!

Food is very personal. How one chooses to illustrate it is as up to them as we readers are to interpret it. This is quite nice. I've never been to Paris and never had a dish like this but I must admit it brought out a specific street corner from the far reaches of my memory. It's been 15 years but I know the taste in my mouth as much as the smells of the trees and temperature of the air. Thanks.
