Band 7+: Describe an unusual meal you had You should say: When it was Where you had the meal What happened during the meal And explain why it was unusual.

Alright, so when it comes to unusual meals, honestly, nothing beats the time I ate mal meat at the traditional festival in my hometown. It happened a few years ago when my family and I joined a celebration held on the ethnic minorities group. In our region, during the festival, there were tons of local dishes. And I was very excited to try something new. I sported a plate of roast meat. It looked like a small bird. And without thinking much, I rubbed a piece. At first, it tasted amazing. I was creepy on the outside and juicy on the inside. And I was very pretty proud of myself for being adventurous. But then, guess what? Someone learned over and culturally told me it’s worth not a bird. It would actually a mouse. And the moment I hear that, I swear I almost dropped my plate. I felt so roasted out my stomach. Honestly, I just wanted to throw up right there. I tried to say come because the locals seemed to love it. But inside, I was freaking out. Later on, I found out they were using five mice. We are supposed to be cleaner and safer to eat compared to city rust. Even though I understood it was part of their culture, I still found it super creepy. I could not bring myself to take all of it by. Looking back, it’s worth hands down the most shocking meal I have I ever had. It definitely told me that food traditions can be really different across cultures. But if you ask me whether I would try mouse meat again, honestly, no way.
