Happy Borovan Day!
by ritzylove

On the 20th, I opened a café
Much to many of Neopia's dismay
To serve Borovan, to pets new and old
For this is a drink that must be sold!

A unique flavour, sweet yet earthy
On this day, everyone is worthy
But no one suspects the secret behind
What gives a flavour so one of a kind

A green stalk of asparagus is required
Mixed with chocolate, I'm inspired!
I'll bake cakes, crisps, crepes aplenty
Perfect companions for a beverage loved by so many

Come on down, to the Borovan Express
Pick up a drink, a doughnut no less
And unto you we shall say,
Have a Happy Borovan Day!

Borovan Treats
by twinkle_jazz

Once upon a time, someone went to the cooking pot.
They walked in with two items and said "This is all I've got!"
"Hot chocolate and asparagus. Do you think I'll get some luck?"
"Well, go ahead and try... Oh my! It's some hot borovan in a cup!"
Now, once a year, people gather, for Borovan Day,
To celebrate, and have some snacks, and whatever else they may.
There are lots of treats to choose from, some you'll want to savour,
Starting with the drinks which come in many different flavours.

There's the regular hot borovan, but if you're into health,
You can get extra asparagus, or maybe something else.
There's all kinds of different flavours, and one you'll like, no doubt.
There's apple, cranberry, mint, vanilla, super spicy and sprout. 
And if you find that it's too hot, that's not a problem, at all.
To cool it down, just throw in an abominable snowball.
But, maybe something colder is what you would find nice.
There's bubble tea and punch, or you could get frozen or iced.
And though it all seems fun, and everything seems fine,
There's three cups of borovan that can get out of line.
Faerieland, Kreludan, and ghostly, and though they taste okay,
Don't try to set them down, because they might float away.
If you're still thirsty, then super size might be your style.
It's very, very large and should last you quite a while.
But, even better than that would be one that lasts forever,
Like the everlasting mug, which surely is a treasure. 
If you want more of a snack, you could get it in a cone,
Or a borovan hot chocolate bomb, which you could take home.
For dinner there's a couple options, like borovan chicken,
Or asparagus borovan lasagne, fresh out of the kitchen.

And last but not least, we have the desserts.
Which one do you think you'd like to try first?
Theres cookies and cakes and cupcakes, too,
Pavlova, brownies, and ice cream scoops.
  
There's tarts, and pies, and doughnuts and crisps,
and marshmallows with borovan dip.
There are so many tasty treats!
Which ones would you like to eat?

10/10 Chefs Agree
by actiontal

Borovan stew and Borovan brew
Chefs at the pot and they’re
Scraping a salty Borovan roux

Borovan cakes and Borovan Flakes 
Chefs at the oven and they’re 
Marinating Borovan steaks 

Borovan crisps and Borovan chips 
Chefs at the teapot and they’re
Making a minty Borovan drip 

Maybe frozen or hot, or turned into a tart
Chefs in the kitchen and they’re
Cheering- for Borovan is a work of art

Iced Borovan Cake: The Savoury Energy Booster
by _brainchild_

Iced Borovan Cake is amazing! The taste
So delicious is something I'll gobble in haste.
Chocolate, borovan, icing, and sugar unite
To create the most scrumptious, sweet treat, am I right?

The icing is everywhere. Some say they see
Too much of the frosting, but frankly, for me,
The sugar is perfect! I'll eat it all day.
I simply can't fathom the thoughts of dismay.

Lots of chocolate and borovan blend to create
A mouthwatering cake that I want on my plate.
Wide awake it will keep me, but I do not care,
Since a life without sugar just wouldn't be fair.

This holiday, get an Iced Borovan Cake.
For one, you can buy without having to bake,
Yet it's even tastier than a homemade
Dessert, so your happiness will never fade.

You can't have it, it's all MINE!
by vanillastar12

What is green, quite slim,
Among vegetables, supreme?
You can boil, steam or roast it,
Have it ready for dinner in minutes,
What is it? 

You can stuff it in a pasty,
Blend it up in a slushie,
It's fresh and it's crunchy,
It's even good in achyfi!
What is it?

It's not just a vegetable,
It's a thing beyond label.
You can find it as a ray gun,
Its Chias have the most fun.
What is it?

Twenty days into December,
It's the day we remember,
Neopia's favourite vegetable,
The asparagus!

Odd Delight
by odemus

Hot chocolate, creamy and warm,
A wintertime treat that's hard to resist.
With a mug in hand, I bask in its charms,
A comforting drink that's hard to miss.

Asparagus, green and tall,
A vegetable with a unique flavour.
I love it grilled or baked, or in a salad,
It's always a delicious savour.

Together, hot chocolate and asparagus may seem odd,
But savoured together, they're meant to be.
One brings comfort, the other a nod,
To the diverse and delicious things I love.

So here's to hot chocolate and asparagus,
Two unlikely friends that bring joy to me.
May they bring happiness and cheer to us,
And make our lives a little more sweet.

The Perfect Ingredient
by iloenchen

Have you tried Borovan Chicken?
It's the best dish you can find.
The flavours are so well-combined,
You eat and feel delight kick in.

Borovan is great for cooking
It's a must in every kitchen.
Creamy, sweet and very rich in
Taste, and also good-looking.

You can use it every day!
Go ahead with this expedient
But also delicious ingredient - 
Your taste buds, it won't betray.

Is chicken not your favourite food?
Maybe asparagus is better for you?
I've got a recipe, it's all brand-new
For asparagus and Borovan, well-stewed.

Of course, you can make crepe as well
Or bake Borovan cake.
There are even recipes for steak!
Cooking with Borovan is so swell!

Borovan!
by kadface

If you need a warming treat
On icy days, then nothing beats
A steaming cup of something hot
Borovan will hit the spot!

A simple drink with little fuss 
It tastes great with asparagus
Perhaps a biscuit on the side
Borovan is drunk with pride. 

Made in cups or mugs or jugs
Feel like twenty thousand hugs
Although it’s slightly alkaline
Borovan tastes just divine. 

Some prefer it mint flavoured
Although orange is more favoured 
Make your choice. Take your pick.
Borovan to be drunk slow or quick. 

The day comes ‘round but once a year
Drinks all round, so never fear!
Comes in all sizes, large and small
Borovan! A drink for all.

all with that familiar scent,
and just in time for advent.

Simply Borovan
by amplificationsseasy

I sit with a cup
And the pets around the hearth
I pour in warm milk
 
We smell warmth and peace
Toasty spice and holidays
The drink is steaming

I take a small sip
Comforting flavours rush in
Out comes happiness

My pets have the drink
With sweet mini marshmallows
Their pupils dilate

Now quenched and refreshed
We sing to seasonal songs
Holidays commence

The joy of this drink
Makes the short month sweet'n sublime
It's called Borovan

Borovan: The Truth Behind the Smell
by ayame_23

It’s asparagus, 
but we digress—

A cup of hot Borovan
will put hairs on your chest
(a small price for some 
of the stench), but if you must—

there are cookies (baked fresh), 
flavoured crisps, a hot Borovan press. 
For extra taste, try it in a crepe 
or with a cranberry twist. 

Judge Hog prefers it apple-flavored. 
Aisheena takes it steaming with a thermos.
Agent A’s preference is a secret, but Aesop
probably likes it Kreludan. Don’t bother asking 
Adam. It’s his favourite— he can’t pick.

I swear even Vekash and Isabella 
would find peace for their garden
near the chocolate river parting 
the asparagus fields of Kiko Lake,
where all of the best Borovan is made. 

Break a spear and have a dip—even you
can forget why you thought you hated it. 

You can say it’s reminiscent 
of the vegetables your parents made
you eat, but I bet your mother never
baked a Borovan cake or tried it frozen,
ghostly, or in a cute green cup with the swirly

decals around the lip. If you just ignore
the green bits, it can truly be delicious.
We recommend Best Borovan Recipes 
to begin. Try it spicy, mint, or super-sized,
but most certainly sit with friends and sip.

Borovan Days
by flufflepuff

Gone are the days
of lingering warmth,
When summer did breathe its last sigh.
When pumpkin and cinnamon, 
ginger and cloves
and nutmeg did cloud the vast sky.

With crisp autumn wind
did all blow away,
all pumpkin and spices therein.
A merciless gale,
the harbinger, hails
and ushers the coming of mint.

Red and white sticks
doth garnish the drink,
the classic, to stave off the cold.
And yet, peppermint,
While pairing it well,
Has, through many years, gotten old.

Alternatively,
a healthier route
includes a bright sprig, verdant green.
Asparagus shall
improve, without fail,
Cocoa and all drinks in between.

So let's celebrate
Borovan Day now,
with crunchy asparagus sweet.
Without more delay,
get your cup today!
Enjoy this Neopian treat!
