I can’t imagine starting my day without a decent breakfast. I usually have pancakes or fried eggs and some cheese with wholemeal bread, or toast with honey and cottage cheese. I never eat cornflakes and cereals because I hate milk, so I drink a lot of yoghurt instead. I’m never hungry in the morning. I usually drink a cup of strong coffee and go to school. I know it’s not healthy because breakfast is believed to be the most important meal of the day, but I’m not able to swallow even a piece of cheese. But I always have a rich lunch. I go to the nearest sandwich bar and have a hamburger, chips, sandwiches, salad and then some fruit. Irish stew is a popular dish in Ireland. It’s a filling, full of flavour peasant dish made with the cheapest, most readily-available ingredients: lamb, cooked with potatoes, carrots, onions and parsley. I can remember exactly the moment I fell in love with her. It happened on the 5th May last year. She invited me and some of our schoolmates to dinner. I thought she would serve pasta or beef steaks but I was wrong. She served smoked eel as a starter. It was delicious and I knew something was going to happen. Then she brought the main dish: a rabbit garnished with lemon, beetroot and fresh leaves of thyme. It looked gorgeous and was really tasty. I fell in love with her during that dinner and I knew she would be the one. A girl that is such an excellent cook must be the love of my life.
