That does not sound appealing at all. But then I eat because I like food, as my big butt shows.

can you guess, given the clue provided, which one i chose?

My guess is the choice below. This guess is based on the greater amount of details about the meal and that these details are written mostly in the present tense. The other choice had little detail and no verbs.

1. a beef kebab with "the lot" (except for tabbouleh). it is beef shaved off from a vertically rotating spindle and placed into a lebanese bread whatever they call it and rolled up into a tube, and it has lettuce and tomatoes and cheese (the amount that i specify (not left to the preparers discretion)). i wanted a slight drizzle of hot chilli sauce and a medium drizzle of barbecue sauce as the condiments. yummm!!


i am sorry however you are incorrect. i succeeded the word "yum" with 2 exclamation marks with respect to the kebab, and i succeeded the word "yum" with 3 exclamation marks with respect to the prawns.

i described the composition of the kebab because kebabs can be may things in different countries (like skewered kebabs etc), and i described the particular variant that i desired because one can order a kebab in a multitude of configurations.

i did not describe the prawns because that dish has no variant, and also it is the same dish in most countries.

i got the prawns.

Alas, today, I finally threw the Greek salad out. It was getting old and moldy and was starting to stink up the fridge.

I shan't make the mistake of buying a Greek salad again.

Cmon, eat something! LOL

The easiest thing to eat is toast with butter, or instant chicken soup in those cups.

Reading all this gave me anxiety.

I sometimes think I'd eat the same thing all the time if I lived alone, just to avoid having to decide.
