Diners take heel spur kicks of pisco sour<br />
saying - food is life, whatever your day<br />
you live for dinner - you can plate happiness.<br />
Don’t measure, go with feelings, and remember:<br />
food does not matter without friends.<br />
When our hosts arrived in London<br />
there was no ceviche fresh enough,<br />
so they welcomed Chichas to townpeople<br />
need to talk and dance,<br />
we wanted to bring in some Latin Love.<br />
