Memories of food

(Good evening classmates and teacher, today I am going to talk about the memories of food)

When I was child my mom used to cook healthy food for us. She loved to cook rice with pork but without much spicy and grease. Also she liked to cook “ceviche”, as a typical northern woman. Sometimes, she prepared ceviche with different kinds of fishes, onions, a little bit of cilantro, lemon juice and a lot of chili. However, she separated a little portion without spicy in another plate for me. I remember being in Ecuador when I was about twelve years old, and I ate ceviche de conchas negras, it was horrible because it seemed soup with slices of peppers.

My sisters and my brother used to arrive from school to have lunch. We used to have lunch stews, meat, vegetables, and rice so my mom knew how to balance the food for us with salads and different vegetables like spinach and lettuce. She also prepared soup with meat, carrots and others vegetables. Now I can't eat in my home because I stay at the University all the day, so I have to eat there but healthy food and some dessert.

I remember we used to eat out every Sunday in a restaurant called "La oficina", in Chiclayo. I used to order rice with green and delicious crushed peas, it was my favorite dish. Also I used to order mashed potatoes with roast beef and I enjoyed refreshing with a glass of chicha morada juice. Now we go out to eat on weekends to different restaurants in Lima to taste new food, but when we go to a sea food restaurant I always ask for seafood. I loved it and now my favorite restaurant is "El chef y el mar".

The only food I don't like is Olluquito because it has a taste like sand. I can’t stand Chicken because when I was a child I had a terrible flu; since that moment I dislike the taste of chicken. Also it’s too greasy and disgusting.

Sometimes I eat junk food, and I prefer Papa Jhon’s because of the especial discounts on Thursday. I love cinnamon rolls because it is sweet, crunchy and delicious. Furthermore, the only food I loved anywhere are desserts, I really like traditional Peruvian desserts, and we go to “Puente de los suspiros” to eat “picarones”. If we want to eat ice creams we go to “laritza” or “pinkberry” and I always ask for gummies and fudge.

Finally, in my family still continue eating food healthy and I love.
