Horrid Food!

Ginger. By Louisa

Mum and I were in town because I had to go to the Warehouse. Dad was out of town at a conference. I was in the car waiting for my mum, she was taking  a long time. She was supposed to be bringing back some sushi. When she got back we started to drive home. I saw some ham in the sushi box,. But it wasn’t ham... it was ginger and I didn’t know that.. I took the sushi box from in the front of the car and opened up the lid.

I took out the ‘ham’ and popped it in my mouth, just for a taste. Immediately I felt the warm slightly burning taste in my mouth, the taste that makes you want to pull out your tongue. Well at least that’s what it felt like doing. I asked mum what it was. She told me it was ginger. I looked at her with this weird face because my mouth was on fire!. I had to ride all the way home with that burning feeling in my mouth.

When we got home I asked my mum how to stop the burning and she told me to drink milk, I slumped over to get some milk and drank it. It worked.  And to this day I’ve never eaten ginger, and I never will!
