Summary
In this comic song, a wife laments her husbands fickleness when it comes to his meals - he refuses to eat most kinds of meat (liver, lamb, etc.), but is very fond of potatoes. When she puts a lot of effort into making a dumpling for him, he compares it to a football. Likewise, when she prepares a mutton chop, he asks if she bought it at an ironmonger's.
