Poems that whet your appetite? A craving for food and drink? A desire for language and play? Take a seat and enjoy! The poets invite you to the table: they sing of dumplings, praise muesli and plums, potatoes and leeks, fish and meat. They have a picnic, talk about shopping blues, celebrate lunch, and visit the herb garden. The wine is a poem, the beer a song with many verses, "Mrs. Magenbitter falls off her chair, Mr. Doornkaat lies next to her, Pommery is eagerly trying to help her up..." (Simon Borowiak). In this humorous culinary anthology, F.W. Bernstein, Heinrich Heine, Matthias Politycki, Robert Gernhardt, Bertolt Brecht, Katja Lange-Müller, Ror Wolf, Wilhelm Busch, Wiglaf Droste, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Jan Wagner, Thomas Gsella, and many others come together. For your enjoyment and ours. Christian Maintz has curated this joyful feast.
