angharad commented on the word glop
One-pot meal. Starch, protein, vegetable, possibly sauce, all stirred up together. Unlike foodity-food, does not imply that ingredients were cooked together in the same serving pot. Veggies could've been steamed or fried alongside, and stirred in at the end. Does imply stove-top cooking only.

Close-cropped men in brown denim
tended a formal flower garden
behind which, a house with barred windows.
The nearest gardener glopped
but seemed not to see us, holding
his rake upside-down by the prongs.
