A TASTE OF MY LIFE

Food has always been an important part of my life, as obviously it is important as a matter of life and death, but also as it can make life so much more enjoyable. Food has always been a key part of my life, but as a younger child I was always much fussier as to what I ate. Since I started been more adventurous with foods, I always like to try new flavours, spicier curries and more exotic taste sensations. Food has never been a struggle for me, although I have only liked a few foods as a younger child. I have never worried about what I eat, and I feel that people worry too much about what we eat, yes we should be conscious but there is a level when people have to accept that we should be able to eat what we want. That has always been my thought and I’m sure I will always believe that.

A Taste Of Childhood

A food that springs to mind about my childhood instantly is mushy peas. My favourite food for what must have been two years, I am instantly able to remember it now because of the sheer hatred I have for mushy peas now. Those sneaky green peas, trying to hide themselves between your chips. Don’t think I don’t see you there trying to ruin my wonderful meal, and vinegar. Even worse for hiding between your chips, almost unnoticeable until you taste its bitter flavour, and yet I used to love it. Another taste I used to love and now detest is jam. As a young boy the coming home from nursery or school to a freshly toasted thick slice of bread, smothered in the sugary taste sensation that is strawberry jam. At first the taste hits you of the warming softness of the bread, and then that gorgeous sharp strawberry flavour soothes into your mouth. When I recently tried what was once my favourite flavour, all that I could conjure was that how on earth did I used to like that. It’s old, sharp, fruity taste felt bitter and unappealing.

A Taste Of Family

Two foods spring instantly to mind and leave me drooling when I think of what I eat with my family. Roast Dinner, and my Auntie’s chicken curry. Never once have I eaten either of these meals without at least 5 family members, and these are almost certainly my two favourite meals.

In my family, mealtimes are a time that we get together and talk about what’s happened during the day. We all sit down and talk while roping into whatever meals In front of us.

Chicken Curry. Surely it is the best ...
