Hello 7th graders!
A while ago I was on a cruise with friends over spring break. Every night we would be served dinner and they had something new and exciting for us to try every time. The food was great but it was all things that I have had before. Untill the night of the captians dinner. First let me set the scene. Everyone is dressed in their very best clothes, we're talking as fancy as you can get. There's music, and the captain says a little toast before we begin eating. What they bring us to eat is something I have never had before. (which says alot)
On my plate is a giant, juicy, gravy covered lamb shank. The only problem is the bone is still in the meat like a giant turkey leg at thanksgiving. I do my best to try and use my knife and fork, but after a couple of tries I give in and pick up the whole thing. I had to have looked like a goof sitting there at my table gnawing on a lamb leg, completely forget that the captain of the ship has to be two tables away. But the thing is I was just lost in the flavor. This had to have been the best thing I have ever had to eat in my life. To top it all of there was a huge pile of mashed potatoes (my favorite kind of spud), and for dessert Cherries Jubilee.
Had to have been the best meal I have ever had.
Take some time to think about your favorite meal. It in no way has to be fancy, or elegant. I made sure my meal lost its elegance as soon as I took my first bite. Think of a meal that brings back those memories as the best thing you have ever had.
