On a plate so clean and white,
Lies a pastry filled with delight.
With a crust so flaky and thin,
It's sure to make your taste buds grin.

Next to it sits a piping hot pan,
Filled with pasta cooked just right.
A dollop of paste to make it grand,
And now it's ready for your delight.

If savory's what you crave,
Poutine's the dish to try.
Fries and cheese curds, oh so brave,
Topped with gravy, my oh my!

Or perhaps you prefer a slice,
Of pizza with toppings galore.
Pepperoni, veggies, and spice,
It's a dish you can't ignore.

And last but not least, a sweet surprise,
A pie with fruit filling oh so wise.
Baked in a pot, golden and brown,
It's the perfect way to end this rhyme with a crown.

So kids, when it's time to eat,
Remember these dishes that can't be beat.
Whether you prefer sweet or savory,
There's something for everyone to savor-y!
