I Really Hate It

Since I was a young girl the taste and smell of chicken was something I couldn't stand. At restaurants, at home, whether it was boiled or fired, I couldn't bare the taste of it. I don't hate any other kind of food, that I know of, and I am pretty open to anything, except chicken; I couldn't get paid to eat it. I was pretty open to about anything when one day I had a sample of duck. Little did I know that duck would have the same effect that chicken has, I hated ducked too. Remember that old saying, "it takes just like chicken"; well I wish I would have known that ahead of time.

It was my mother's boss's birthday and my mom and I were invited to attend a little surprise birthday party for him at a Thai restaurant called, Thai's Best. I had never tried Thai food before and was up for trying a new thing. The first thought in my head was "in no way was I eating chicken." We soon walked into the Thai restaurant and waited quietly with his family and friends, he came and we jumped out, "surprise." I was starving by the time Don, my mother's boss, had come and was in the mood for almost about anything.

I was waiting for the menu's but they never came. I began to hear my stomach growling. Moments later the waiters placed everything on the table in front of us and we started to dig in. From the plate of food at the end of the table to the plate of food in front of me there seemed to resemble this weird looking meat, I asked what it was and the women beside me replied, "its duck". All of sudden I wasn't so hungry. I didn't know what it was but I was no longer in the mood for food, let alone duck. About twenty minutes passed and I couldn't resist but reach out on the plate in front of me slid a few spoons of duck soup on my plate. The duck soup no longer smelled bad, from the looks fo it it reminded me of soft cow tongue. I blew on the two pieces of duck I had on my spoon, raised it up to my mouth and right as it touched my tongue I couldn't help but closed my eyes in disgust, this tastes like chicken. I chewed it and forced it to go down. I then reached in my purse and took out a piece of gum, I was done eating for the rest of the night.

Who would have thought that "duck really does taste like chicken", because if I would have known that I could have saved myself the digusting experience. I now hear little remarks about duck, "it tastes just like chicken", the truth is that I think it taste a lot worse but for future reference I now know duck does in fact taste like chicken, and I hate chicken.
