    Food Haiku 2011 Winners!

    By PDX Food Dude Last Update April 20, 2018 5 Comments

    Here are the results from our 2011 food haiku contest.

    Poem iconWe had so many good entries this year, our judges had a difficult time narrowing them down. As it was, we had a 3-way tie for second place, which I had to break. Thank you for all the submissions! The first prize winner will receive two tickets to Share Our Strength’s Taste of the Nation at Luxe Autohaus on May 2nd. “Taste of the Nation Portland will raise critical funds needed to support Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger in Oregon and across the nation.”

    First Prize by: Kassie Halpin Robinson

    Fresh, raw, exquisite:
    Salmon’s salt, tang, rests on pearls
    Wasabi bursts through

    Second by: What’s for supper?

    The comfort of food
    Shared with family and friends
    Saved me this hard year.

    Third by: AmandaAngelaMarjorie

    sips bubbly and cooks
    sizzling greens in garlic cloves
    low spring moon hangs full

    Kassie, please contact me right away to arrange for your tickets!

      Hahahaha…those are funny!! Oh, wait…they’re not. Sorry. Very touching haiku year here at PFD, FD. I’d be hungry and eat but I’m getting all misty……

      Ya, not nearly as “interesting” as in past years…warm and fuzzy, but not much in the way of smiles… )-:]~ ~[:-(

        Yeah, I would add something here, but, you know,
        I’ve got nothing. Can of soup, couple of ‘married’ bottles of
        catering wine. Twenty seven of last nights unforgivable passed appetizers and a zune soundtrack some homeless person gave in exchange for old salmon from the buffet for parasitic sufferers.
        Did i say Married Wine? oh heck, that’s not only legal in the state of sidemeat, it encouraged…
