The strangest food I've ever eaten (with vocabulary)

(Words and expressions that are in bold have definitions at the bottom of this article).

So, what was the strangest food I have ever eaten? The image I chose for this article gives it away.

I ate crickets in a Canadian restaurant about one year ago. They were covered in chili sauce, and cooked until they were crispy. It was a unique item on the menu, and a novelty at this restaurant.

I know in some places this food is common and normal, and there are even cricket energy bars sold in the USA. However, to me it was a very new experience.

The taste was fine, and they had a crunchy texture. But my brain did not like the idea of eating them, so I couldn't enjoy the experience much.

I'm glad I tried it, but I don't think I would try it again... I'll stick to my usual boring food.

Vocabulary:

"Give away": In this context, to "give something away" is to give someone the answer to a question. For example, if I ask you what my favourite colour is, you could say, "Blue, of course. Your fashion sense gives it away!"

Novelty (NAW-vull-tee): Noun. A novelty is something that is "novel" (unique or different from usual). In this case, I am saying that crickets are a novelty for me, since they are not usually what I eat.

Texture (TEKS-cher): The texture of something is how it feels. If we talk about food texture, it is how it feels in your mouth. Things can have a crunchy texture, a soft texture, a chewy texture, and so on.

Stick to: If you "stick to" something, it means you want to keep doing the same thing as you usually do. For example, if I say that I'm going to stick to teaching, it means I will continue to teach, as usual.
