Food

I am eating right now and it is my favorite thing to do, so I figured that is what I will write my essay about. It is amazing how many different things you can do with different food. It is even more amazing how many different things you can do with the SAME food! My first example is a potato, my second example is milk, and my third example is a meal of noodles or rice. Every time I think about food, I become more and more amazed at all the varieties.

My first example of different things you can do with the same food involves potatoes. You can do so many things with them! You can bake them once, (baked potato) and eat them with sour cream, cheese, butter, salt, pepper, or pretty much whatever else you feel like putting on there. If you choose, you may bake them twice, (twice-baked potato) and eat them with salt, and pepper, and cheese. If you grate potatoes and add salt, pepper, and olive oil, you get hash browns. If you dice potatoes, you just get deliciousness. If you slice them and bake them in the oven, you can make potato chips. You can also slice them and add onions, cheese, salt, pepper, and olive oil! Some people mash them and add milk to make them creamy, which brings me to my second example.

My second example is milk. You can drink it plain, and enjoy the creaminess of it! There is Skim milk, 1 percent of the fat left in the milk, 2 percent fat, or whole! There is chocolate and strawberry, vanilla and peach, even root beer! You use milk in cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, butter, ice cream, and whipped cream. You can even add it to hot chocolate, and other hot beverages! You can add it in smoothies and milk shakes. You can add it to recipes to make the meal creamier. You can pretty much add it to any recipe you want! You can add it to Spaghetti, tomato soup, cream of broccoli soup, cheesy soup, potato soup, chicken or chicken noodle soup! Milk is a great thing to drink, cook with, and make treats with! Milk is one of many things that you can do a lot of things with!

My third examples of variety of food are noodles and rice. Noodles are used in many different countries and in different cultures also. Noodles are used in Chinese and Japanese food, Italian food, soups. and Mediterranean food. Rice is used in many different dishes as well. It is used in Hawaiian food, Japanese food, Chinese food, soups, Mexican food, Indian food, African, Thai, Korean, and Vietnam food!

There are so many things you can do with so many different kinds of food! What is more amazing is the variety of meals you can create with the SAME food. It varies from noodles and rice, to milk, to potatoes, to tomatoes, to oranges, to bread, to onions, to zucchini, to cucumbers...and the list goes on! We should all experiment and try new and different kinds of meals with the same vegetables, fruits, and grains we love!
