Earlier this week I met up with some friends for a meal at a local eatery. Reading through the varied menu, I couldn't help but notice the wording in the meal descriptions helped tease the taste buds of the diner.
Tempting words made the braised beef with its rich, succulent gravy, and the Thai curry with its aromatic spices, tingle tongues in anticipation.
This creative menu made me think about the importance of adjectives in story telling and made me realise that without them, the written word can be very bland indeed. As for the food, the creator of the menu unfortunately used a heaped spoonful of writer's license.
