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.
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.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tyler, I need to proofread more, but you should have eaten the Escargot
