why it was special

I like tasty food. I mean I can't say I'm a gourmet, but I won't eat anything and everything even when I'm very hungry. So everyone knows that inviting me to a good restaurant is a perfect way to please me

One day my boyfriend invited me to eat out. It was our dating anniversary so I understood we wouldn't go to MacDonald's. But I couldn't even imagine that he would invite me to the most expensive restaurant in our city. I was blown away when he told me where we were going to have dinner. I got an opportunity to try some exclusive super expensive dishes that I only heard about and saw in pictures

I really wanted to try oysters as there were so many people who loved them and the same number of people who hated them. So, on the one hand, I wanted to form my own opinion about this type of seafood. On the other, I was a bit afraid. We ordered a large plate of oysters with very dry white wine. Although they were expensive, I thought there wouldn't be a better chance in the near future, so I was determined to taste them come what may

My boyfriend started eating them, saying every other second how delicious they were. I plucked up my courage, took the first oyster and slurped it before I had a change of heart. I liked it. You know if they hadn't been so expensive, I would have eaten three times as much. Now I understand why they are considered a culinary delicacy. I also persuaded my boyfriend to try fuagra and some other sophisticated dishes. This really was a gastronomic delight.

This dinner was special because, first of all, I felt special and loved. Also, I had never tried so many culinary delicacies during one meal. It was easily the best meal in my life. The food was so delicious that I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
