IELTS Speaking Part-2 A time when you had an unusual meal




Describe a time when you had an unusual meal.

You should say:

  • What the meal was

  • Where and when you had it

  • Why it was unusual

  • And explain how you felt about the experience.

One time, I had a truly unusual meal that stands out vividly in my memory. It was during a trip to Morocco about two years ago. I was traveling with a group of friends, and we decided to immerse ourselves in the local culture by dining at a traditional Moroccan restaurant known for its unique dishes.

The meal we had was a dish called tanjia, which is a specialty of Marrakech. Tanjia is a slow-cooked stew made with beef or lamb, preserved lemons, olives, and a blend of aromatic spices. What made this meal particularly unusual was not just the ingredients but also the cooking method. The dish is traditionally prepared in a clay pot that is buried in the ashes of a fire and left to cook slowly for several hours. The result is a rich, tender stew that is infused with deep flavors.

We had this meal in a small, local eatery tucked away in a vibrant market. The restaurant had a rustic charm with its colorful tiles and low wooden tables. The meal was served with warm, freshly baked bread and a side of couscous, making it a hearty and satisfying experience.

What made the meal unusual was not only the unique cooking process but also the distinct taste of the preserved lemons and spices, which was a flavor combination I had never encountered before. The stew had a complex flavor profile, with tangy, savory, and slightly spicy notes that were both intriguing and delightful.

I felt a mix of curiosity and excitement throughout the meal. It was fascinating to experience a dish that was so deeply rooted in Moroccan tradition and to taste something so different from what I was accustomed to. The whole experience was not just about the food but also about connecting with a new culture and trying something completely out of the ordinary. It was a memorable culinary adventure that left me with a lasting appreciation for Moroccan cuisine.
