Expresar tus preferencias por la comida, describirlas o conversar sobre las razones por las cuales disfrutas un plato te va a dar mayores posibilidades para comunicarte en un restaurante o en un café.

Ejemplo para conversar sobre comida favorita

My favorite food is Asado. I am from Argentina and here, it is a typical meal with friends on Sunday at the noon or on a birthday. We eat different kinds of meat such as cows or pigs. Also, we prepare a salad to accompany the meat.

When i heard the texture explication, i don’t understood what’s the difference to “Crispy” and “Crunchy” so i started to investigate the differences and i finded this:

“A “crispy” food is a dry, rigid food which, when bitten with the incisors, fractures quickly, easily, and totally, while emitting a relatively loud, high-pitched sound.

“Crunchy” foods, on the other hand, are dense-textured foods which, when chewed with the molars, undergo a series of fractures while emitting relatively loud, low-pitched sounds.

basically it’s the same, the different it’s the height of the piece.

I hope this will help you 😄
