Free Write About Food



So ever since I was little, food has been a prominent part of my life. My dad being a private chef, and my mom a nutritionist, delicious healthy food is always around... but not for long. I feel like when my dad brings home food it would be gone instantly as Ginger and I rush to grab spoons jabbing at the spongy yet firm almond cake. I don't know what makes almond paste in cakes so scrumptious, but if you haven't tried it, it's amazing.

 Anyway, some people like to spend money on electronics, but my family spends money on food. We go to fancy and strange restaurants every new city we encounter. I remember one time I dubiously tried a raw quail egg at the DePuy Canal house. It was a golden yellow with a transparent goop around it, which helped it slip down my throat easier. By being exposed to different cuisines I became willing to try more foods and other things. Since I was little kid, I’ve been know as a “good eater” because I try everything and I like almost all of it. I love to eat all cuisines from Chinese to American and all the counties in between.  Vegetables, meats,  fish and fruit I value equally except for broccoli rob. It’s just so bitter and bland.  Thankfully, eating  delicious food expertly cooked by a chef hasn’t made me a snob either, because I love junk food and sweets just as much as the next person.

Food has influenced me to try new things, not just food but other activities. On a micro scale, getting the courage to swallow a raw quail egg has helped developed my courage to try other more important things in life.

  1. Jasper, you need to make sure to read over your work so your grammar is good. You often forget to put a word or two. To be honest, I would never have tried that Quail Egg, but when I was in France last year, I thought that ordering Escargot would be a good idea and an interesting experience. But when I looked at the price, I didn't want to waste that amount of money on something I may not like, so I didn't try it. I am hesitant to try odd foods that I never have before.
