I’m mad about . . .
I’m mad about honey
that’s runny and funny
I’m mad about cheese
that grows on old trees
I’m mad about chilli
that’s spice-cool and silly
I’m mad about eggs
and rainbow-striped veg
I’m mad about jam
on speckled green ham
I’m mad about pepper
the hotter the better
Teacher’s note:
This exercise can be fun with ages 6 – 12. Give them Ogden Nash’s poem.
Mustard as a prompt
I’m mad about mustard,
even on custard.
Then have a brief discussion in which you ask them what they’re mad about
foodwise.
