I heard them discussing tajine
So I asked them: ‘Just what does that mean?
Is it lentils, or lamb?
Or strawberry jam?
Or escargots in a terrine?’
They said: ‘It’s a posh word for stew.
And it’s ever so easy to do:
Take some ras-al-hanout
And chickpeas, to boot,
And lamb, if you like, chuck in too.’
