What's To Eat?

"What's to eat?"

"Green apples, green apples,
My Grey-eyed Gander,
Green apples aplenty for you!
And if you don't care for green apples,
Why not sample the stew?"

"What's in it?"

"Turnips, and new potatoes, My Dumpling,
Cowpeas and mutton head,
But if the cauldron leaves you cold,
Have some yellow bread!"

"How'd you make it?"

"Sweet corn flour and rosewood honey,

My Chubby Little Custard,
Eggs and milk, and if you don't like that,
Then help yourself to the mustard,
You sorry son of a beeeeeeep!"
