1. The food I will be
describing is a very popular Filipino dish. It is called Pork Gisantes. It's
usually at every single Filipino party you go to and it's kind of a family
tradition for it to be there. This dish isn't there at all of our 'immediate
family gatherings' because we're more Americanized Filipinos. Immediate family,
as in my dad’s siblings and their families. Although, when we go to parties
with people I don't even know, in other words, extended family gatherings, they
always have this dish prepared!
2. Some
special memories this food has for me is that its originally my grandmas
recipe. Making Pork Gisantes is pretty much the same steps and directions for
any Filipino family that makes it. Although, there are many things you can do
to make it different from others. I have memories of learning how to make our families’
recipe with my dad and also eating it with my family. The most special memories
I have with this food, is eating gisantes with my grandparents in Virginia.
3. Some sensory details I
could use are, “My nostrils fill with the sweet smell of boiling tomato sauce
and that’s when I know my dad is making our classic gistantes – pork and peas
”. Also, “As my dad tells me to bring out the green peas, I feel the icicled
bag melt as it reaches the warm of my hands.” Little detailed expressions like
these will really put the reader into the story!
4. For this food, I will
be interviewing my dad. Part of the reason because I have easy access to
speaking to him about this dish. Most importantly though, because my grandma is
his mom on his side.
You did a good job on putting a lot of details. I like how you described your food is a family tradition and what you said about your parties and stuff. I also like how you put very good details. You also did a very good job on answering the questions it's almost like I can taste the food.
ReplyDeleteYou did a really great jobputting in great detail about the dish you were sharing with the audience. I thought that your explanation and examples were very clear. In fact, they were so clear that you even had my mouth watering for some of your pork gisnates. Overall, really good job putting in detail. :)
