Topic: The Food That I Like
The food that I like to eat is Western food, and the Western food that I like is chicken BBQ. I like chicken BBQ because it's delicious and smell so good. And to make the chicken BBQ test more delicious, marinated in a lemon and black pepper about five to ten minutes. Every time I make a BBQ I always work with whatever flavor combos I came up; for example sweet and sour, light and fresh or spicy and smoky. In fact marinated is not the only cause to make the chicken test delicious but sauce are also influence the test of the chicken. In other words Western food is my favorite food.
