Describe an unusual meal you had.

When I was a child, I used to be a very selective eater. My mother was always worried about my health because I avoided many nutritious foods, especially milk.

When did you eat it?

I ate this unusual meal when I was around eight or nine years old. At that time, I had completely stopped drinking milk and even used to secretly throw it away when no one was watching. One day, my mother caught me doing that, and my parents were quite upset.

Where did you eat it?

I had this meal at home, usually during breakfast. Instead of giving me a glass of milk the next morning, my mother served me some delicious-looking cutlets. I had no idea what they were made of, but they looked crispy and smelled amazing.

With whom you had the meal?

I usually had them with my family at the breakfast table. Sometimes, I even packed a few pieces in my lunchbox and shared them with my friends at school. Everyone loved them and kept asking me what they were.

Why do you think it was unusual?

It was unusual because those tasty cutlets were actually made from milk. My mother had cleverly prepared “fried milk” by mixing milk with ingredients like eggs, lemon peel, and cornstarch, shaping it into pieces, and lightly frying them. She had found a creative way to make me consume something I disliked without me realizing it. If I had known earlier that they were made from milk, I probably wouldn’t have eaten them at all.

Although frying made them slightly less healthy, my mother used very little oil. Looking back, I find it impressive how she turned something I hated into one of my favorite childhood meals.

Conclusion

Even today, I sometimes crave those fried milk cutlets, and my mother happily makes them for me. It remains one of the most unusual yet memorable meals I have ever had.
