Hello my name is Astrid Ladenburg and I am the youngest member of my family and get fed quite advanced food for a 9 year old. I’m called the ‘breakfast, lunch and dinner tourist’ because I am always eyeing up the biggest portion of beef, potatoes and the like. Currently one of my most famed dishes is a burger and chips and I enjoy mine with the cheese on the patty melting. My preferred cheese in the burger is cheddar and I do enjoy the crunch of the lettuce and the plump ripeness of the tomatoes. I always prefer my chips skinny and slightly crunchy. What I look for when I eat a meal are two things, taste and texture. (The 2 T’s) A great example of this, in my opinion, are broccoli stems, they have a lovely ripe taste that explodes in your mouth and they’re not quite soft or hard... the perfect texture!
