Taste Testing

Puawai

Guess what! For our writing experience this week we all became taste testers. Miss Walters had organised some food for us.

Asena

Have you ever been a taste tester before? Well I have. This week on Monday Miss Walters told us we were going to become taste testers.

Tame

I was surprised when Miss Walters brought out the first plate. We had to smell the food then taste ti. I thought it was Maple Syrup and I was correct. It was delicious when I finally got to sample a taste of the food.

Jordan

Our second plate had a blob of vegemite on it. I thought it smelt like coco and when I tasted it, it was yuck. My group guessed right because we had some good taste testers.

Nikita

The last sample of the day was mild salsa. When I saw it, smelt it and lastly tasted it I thought it was chilli sauce. Out group was wrong but so was everyone else.

Hannah

I really enjoyed the experience because I love tasting new food. The worst part was when I tasted the vegemite. I hope Miss Walters thinks of another experience soon.
