IELTS Cue Card # Describe an occasion when you ate a kind of food for the first time

Describe an occasion when you ate a kind of food for the first time
You should say:
– When you had it
– Where you ate it
– What it was
and explain how you felt about it

Sample Answer:

I am someone who likes to experiment with food that I eat. Although I love trying different cuisines but at the same time I try to keep it healthy.
A couple of weeks back during my home quarantine period i saw a TV commercial about the launch of a pizza that was somewhat like a burger, they named it “Bizza”. The commercial was very well presented and that I started craving for it. As I was not supposed to step out of my home due the pandemic, I opted for a home delivery. I ordered it with Coke and Fries, as they were giving a special discount on this combo pack. After ordering it, even waiting for half an hour seemed so difficult, moreover due to precautionary measures the delivery boy took even more time to deliver. But finally I got my order after a long wait of 45 minutes. As soon as I received it, I sanitized the outer packaging. The aroma that came from the parcel excited me even more. I opened the packet, it was a burger pizza by domino’s which had oven-baked buns with loads of cheese and pizza sauces. It felt so much fresh and unique to try out, I had never tasted anything similar to it. It brought mere joy to my face after savouring it. I felt amazing when I ate it and I’m glad that I ordered it. I was so much fascinated by the taste that I ordered it again the next day. Now it’s one of my favourite dish. After having it, I developed a liking for Italian cuisine.
