I have a thing for Italian cuisine. It means that I love Italian cuisine.

Nikoo: Mouthwatering: If a food is mouthwatering, it is very delicious. It makes

your mouth water!

For example, a good hamburger is mouthwatering.

Yasi: A picky eater is someone who does not eat everything. He or she picks certain
foods. Going to a restaurant with this person is a pain in the neck! You know, cause
they are not easygoing when it comes to food. You aren’t a picky eater Nikoo, are
you?

Nikoo: No, I’m not, but I’m allergic to eggplants.

“We’re fully booked at the moment. Could you come back a bit later?”

on the menu.

“What’s Pluzzorno exactly?”

“Is this served with … (salad)?”

“Does this have any … (seafood) in it?”

“What do you recommend?”

Also when you want to know what the restaurant is famous for, you can ask this
question:

What’s your signature dish?

It means that restaurant or their chef is famous for this dish.

Yasi: The waiter asks you one of these questions when he wants to take your order.

“Are you ready to order?”

“Can I take your order?”

Anyways, so that’s the first part of the meal, the second part, or the main part is
called…

Nikoo: The main course.

Yasi: And finally, after you’re done with the main course, you can have a little more
food, usually sweet in taste.

Nikoo: That is called the dessert. Not desert! But dessert! I love dessert! That’s the
best part of every meal!

Yasi: Oh, by the way, what is a meal?

Nikoo: A meal is an occasion for eating food! For example, breakfast is the first
meal of the day. Then lunch and finally dinner.

Nikoo: Or supper, which sometimes refers to the last meal of the day, or the meal
you have in the evening.
