Mystery Food Descriptive Writing

Yesterday we continued developing our descriptive writing skills. Miss Taylor brought in a plastic bag filled of a mystery food. The students were asked to put on their Hi-Vis vests with a partner, not knowing what was coming next. We waited rather impatiently for what was about to happen...nervous, uneasy, confused, were just some of the words used to describe how we were feeling while we waited for the mystery food.



Read the following pieces of writing from some of the class.


Alex- The slimy thing


It was dark and quiet. Then I was finally given the slimy thing. I had a sniff. At first I thought it was a capsicum then i sniffed again…

The juicy thing was wet like a sea lion's skin.
It was something I expected to be sour but it was sweet instead.
The juicy thing was in a hard bumpy skin.
It was exactly what I thought… what do you think it was?

Ally- Feeling like my eyes were going to sleep, I thought to myself, ‘I could finally take of the blinding bib’! My eyes were blurred, as I looked around the class. I looked down into my hand, and saw the Demon that rested on it. It was a rough feel, and in the inside felt like it was slimy and curved. Looking beside me, I saw someone was laughing and another was shaking their head, her eyes still trying to adjust to the light. I brought the demon servant to my face and eyed it closely. Never taking a bite, I shook my head and placed it on the face of my palm. Thinking about what just happened, I rubbed my eyes and smelt the flavour of the reject lime. It was a sour, cringe worthy smell, that would make you shudder...

Amy- What would you think if you teacher told you to put a blindfold on and sit down, and then she put a mysterious thing on your hand and told you to feel it and then eat it?

The blindfold was crisp and cold as I tied it around my head only imagining what she was going to give us. I was plunged into darkness when it got tied around my head.
The fruit at least that's what I thought it was, was slimy and I could feel its juicing running down my arm as my teacher placed it on my hand.
It smelt like a, mandarin or something like that but I wasn't sure.
The fruits smell hit me like the rain.
It tasted sour like my sister favourite lollies, it was at that moment that I realised what it was.
The fruits flavours danced in my mouth like fire in the rain.

Holly- It was like I was falling into a deep, loud sleep when I was putting my vest over my eyes. There was lots of laughter and confusion. We all had to wait nervously because we had to blindfold ourselves to taste something. We did not know what it was, we felt nervous and uneasy. Then we were given something to feel and had to try and figure out what it was, I had no clue. On the back, I felt a hard surface and I turned it over and felt soft and wet. Yet I still did not know what it was and it felt like i was going blind because of the darkens. When I nibbled it I hated it, it tasted horrible, tangy and bitter. When we were allowed to take off our vests, my vision was blurry and it then I saw it was a piece of fruit, but yet i did not know what it was. I did not recognise it, so i asked. I was disgusted because I knew I hated it. I had to have some water to dilute the taste.

James- Have you ever put been told that you are going to have to eat some weird food that you can't see and wanted to take of the blindfold so much?

The wizard food was metallic and citrusy. It felt mushy like watery but solid slime, the bottom had lots of moisture in it but it was also crusty. The wizard food's taste hit me like an invisibly, fast hummer. It burned my tastebuds.

Lachie- Have you ever had that feeling of unease when your teacher tells you to sit down and close your eyes and then puts something mysterious in your hands? Well this was that moment. We sat down with our jerseys around our eyes and got handed a mysterious item.

The mysterious object, was as cold as the rain at lunchtime or the creek that you played in the other day. It had a hard outside with little bumps along the top. The sliced item, had a orange like feel on the bottom.
The orange like substance's smell hit me like a speeding car, it was zingy and citrusy.

Lucy- Do you ever get that tingle in your tummy when the teacher says “ I have something for you to eat today” Well I did!

The Zesty Fruit was right up to my nose, it smelt so bitter and sweet like a freshly grown orange. It made my tummy roar with hunger as I also smelt the scent of green tea.

The Zesty Fruit was spongy like a sponge and bumpy like a camel's back. It was rough and leathery like my old school shoes in the.

The Zesty Fruit examined my mouth like the dentist washing my teeth. It tasted tangy and bitter but strange.

Taylor- I was so terrified waiting to see what the mystery food was coming into my palms. So I sat down into my seat and closed my eyes and imagined a yummy chocolate bar but when the food hit my hand I knew in a blink of a light what it was.
The blind fold felt cold like the snow that comes down from the sky.
The tangy fruit felt squishy and juicy it was  running watery stuff all over my hand.
It tasted like a sour patch lollie but evan worse.
The tangy fruit smelt like a mandarin but once it hit my tongue hit it I knew what it was. It was a LEMON!
