A

Well, I’m a great fan of barbecues and I would like to talk about the first time I tried some typical barbecue foods. This happened when I was 10 years old. My familiy went out to have dinner to celebrate my mother’s birthday. we decided to go to a BBQ restautant on Ba Trieu street.

We ordered four dishes with three different tastes. One of them which really interested me was grilled-Australian beef, flavoured with something spicy, rich and aromatic [,ærou’mætik]. It not only tasted delicious, but also looked appealing. Also, it went well with two kinds of dipping sauces. There was also a salad, which gave it a mild [maild] taste to contrast with the spicy flavours.

What I really enjoyed was that we could watch as it was cooked in front of us. I loved how juicy it was and the aroma it had. Just mentioning it makes my mouth water. I mean, the BBQ was out of this world. That was the first time I had tried it and I immediately started to love these food since that time.
