Pecorino
For Stan's Super Challenge

Teensy tiny tissue-thin
slivers of Italian Pecorino Romano -
elegant, intense, pungent and salty,
randomly arranged on
crisp broken sesame wheat Ak-Mak crackers.
Fit for an émir.
Randomly shapeless,
too crumbly to handle
beyond plopping a sliver
onto a shard of Ak-Mak
and gobbling it up
before it crumbles
into the keyboard.
But still
Fit for an émir.

So - Check out Stan Fletcher's Challenge!

The competition is really getting intense for the Grand Prize in this contest. (See details below). I'm honored and humbled that our three judges have agreed to come on board to judge the competition. (Drum...

I love those crackers with goat cheese- any kind of goat cheese. Now I'm hungry!
Would you believe I have tried neither Ak-Mak nor Pecorino? I have led such a sheltered life hehehe. Well done! :)
Same as BJ I'm off to the kitchen for a midnight snack. I have some parmigiano (no pecorino I'm afraid) in the fridge so I guess that's what I'm having. Food, food, glorious food. Thanks Nellieanna (oh and Stan too).
You've made my mouth water! Loved the poem too!
Thanks for writing and sharing.
Love and peace

Pecorino, Ah yes I can smell it now! I dare not think of it's delicate texture only to be matched by the bold and yet amazing taste. I adore Pecorino on a good cracker. Red wine is a nice added touch. I love it and now am dreaming of Pecorino. Ah sooo gooood! Peace :)
I hate it at night when I am trying to catch up on all my reading of my friends Hubs and they are writing about food. Shame on you for writing with your wonderful skills on the thing I should be trying to avoid. Shame on you. I love you! Now off to the kitchen in the middle of the night for crackers and beautiful cheese.
Ahhh, The ultimate cheese and crackers!!! Coupled with a glass of Syrah or Zinfandel, mangia bene.
BTW, if I munched while Hubbing, I'd go through about ten laptops a year... Loved it, Ciao!!!
Awww, you just have a way with words. I could taste that snack. I love you new avatar.
Only, Nellieanna, could write such brilliant piece. Thank you.
My favorite food seems to be crackers and cheese and your lovely hub makes me salivate. How about a glass of wine with that?
Ah a lady after my own cheesy heart. I love most cheese and Alfredo Sauce with this cheese is excellent. Cheese and crackers of all kinds are splendid. It's all in the right choices. Now I know why mice love cheese, if I reincarnate a Mouse I will be:0) Now I am up and running to slice some fine Old Cheddar from my fridge. You put the taste and wanting of cheese on my tongue. lol I rate this UP..bravo as I smile.
Nellieanna,
I meant to comment on this tasteful tidbit as soon as it was posted, but found myself drawn to the kitchen every time I read it.
Suffice to say your poem is as savory as the victuals.

I haven't tried this cheese but you have convinced me that It is so delicious so I think that I will have to find some from somewhere.
I will let you know if I enjoyed it or not.
Take care.
As one of the three judges of this here competition may I just say that I consider this Hub to be a likely candidate for first prize? A candidate, mind you, not a cert.
May I also casually mention that we have formed a new charity, coincidentally called “The Three Judges Charity” and any contribution you may care to make to it shall be given the consideration it deserves?
Furthermore, I wish to give the lie to inaccurately spurious and dastardly rumours spread by a person who shall remain nameless (let’s call him Stan for argument’s sake) that we shall be happy with bribes of only chocolates and flowers? Naturally we live for literature and are doing this for the good of humanity, but any poor chump who thinks that he or she will have a chance in hell of winning this competition with a bunch of flowers, has another thing coming. ;-)
Just a thought but did you know that Pecorino is one of the key cheeses in my Alfredo Sauce ? I did a Hub on that a while back.... Not one of my less fattening receipes I'm afraid !
I also discovered that on top of my Fish Pie if you add a a generous spoonful of grated Perorino to the grated Cheddar cheese it gives a crisper sharper taste.
You must be crackers Nellianna, i really savoured that cheesy poem. That was plumb snikkitty.
Nellieanna. Your poem is so neat.
It's aesthetically complete
your ak-mak sounds lovely
I feel I must eat.
Hands too busy typing
I,ll just use my feet.
A poem on food....how can I stay away?!!! :)
I love cheese. I will try this. Akmaks are my fave crackers also. Nellie, you are cute as can be. I've seen you before and read your great comments on other's hubs. So glad to have you as a fan....I went to college in Denton years ago btw.
Wow..sounds delicious...Oh and I so happen to have a cheese slicer that can do this...
I love the poem..fit for an emir..so apt.
Thanks so much, beloved Nellieanna.
A tasty treat that I have to go in the kitchen to eat.
