Ten best things ever eaten.

The ten best things I have eaten in the last few years are food from around the world and made by different cultures. 10th place goes to when I went to France to celebrated a friend’s birthday and I went to some corner street to eat at a shabby looking diner just for because it was close by. When I ate there I looked at the menus and saw that they served mini file minions; I ordered them and was surprised course it was high quality food, looked good and tasted exceptionally delicious. 9th place goes to a Chinese/ Japans restaurant that served traditional real ramen; it tasted awesomely delicious. 8th place goes to the little pizza place in Italy where I had a real Italian traditional pizza with a bottom thin and crunchy and a toping that would blow your taste buds away. 7th goes to small restaurant in England in Canterbury where I had a steak with potatoes and real British bacon. The 6th place goes to a little American restaurant that served me the greatest shepherd’s pie I have ever had. 5th would I think have to go to a steak sandwich I ate a long time ago in a small shop. The steak was so delicious it had a light spieses tastes to it and had a light pepper souse to it with fresh vegetables’. The 4th place would have to go to a little restaurant in Puerto Rico where I had a pepper steak with rice that was out of this world. 3rd place goes to little Belgium restaurant that was in a regular housing street where I ate original Belgium French fries and ate a duck in a sweat souse and a rabbit in a pepper souse. The second place goes to the Gourmet Burger Place in Oxford England where I ate a Hamburger that was not only well made in both how it was done and how it looked but also in its great taste; it tasted like a hamburger should meaty juicy and with a light hint of some spicing in the meat. Lastly there is the first place with goes to a Cuban restaurant in Miami where I had a flat pepper steak that even until now I long for. It was so good that I could stop eating it until I was done with it; to sum up its taste it was epic.

Chocolate is a movie about a mother and daughter moving into a small religious town during the season of Lent in the Catholic Church. Lent is an Old Catholic tradition which involves fasting from foods that you absolutely can’t live without, foods that you find to be the most tempting in the world. Everybody in the town goes to the same church and is basically brainwashed to give up sweets for Lent. The mother in this movie makes a very delicious chocolate and opens up a chocolate store which she also lives in as she moves into the town. Her timing isn’t the best because she opens her store in the middle of Lent. She isn’t a religious person so doesn’t care much for lent. She is seen as a bad person because of her lack of interest in the church and love of chocolate in the season of Lent. In actuality, she is a very charming lady who simply wants to share her love with the world. Being a catholic allows me to see the true power in this movie. When I give up something for Lent, I usually come across the food I gave up more than before. In the movie, the mother doesn’t force anybody to enter her store. It is the people who follow Lent because they are simply told to instead of actually wanting to give up something they love for the Lord. When they are tempted by chocolate, they can’t resist. Food is the most addicting thing and it takes a great deal of mental discipline to give up. This movie inspired me to try giving chocolate up for Lent this year. I’m not as big of a fan of chocolate as the people in this movie are, so I’m going to give up any sweet that includes chocolate… even chocolate ice-cream.
