Here are the results from the food haiku contest. We had so many good entries this year, the ten 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.”

Haikus with venom
are always much funnier
than this PG stuff.

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…
