French menu

Searching her memory, she was able to stammer "je voudrais voir le menu" and to her surprise, the waiter immediately brought her the menu. Luckily, the menu came with an english translation of all the dishes, and she let out a sigh of relief. Scanning, she found what she was looking for, and was quite surprised by what she found. "Snail???" she thought, "so this is what i was dying to try? snails?" Although the scary thought of the slimy animal sliding down her throat had momentarily caused her to pause, her curiosity won out in the end. She thought, "so what if it's a snail? it's not like it'll kill me. Look at all these people, they don't seem to have any problems eating whatever they're eating" So, bravely, she ordered it. Quite surprised, the waiter asked "madam knows that it is snails?" at which Sandra confidently replied "yes, but as a food-lover, i really want to try it."



She began to imagine all kinds of yucky stuff she would be eating. When she thought that the suspense would surely kill her, the waiter returned. carefully, she smelled, poked, and quietly observed her target until she was satisfied that it would not come alive in her mouth. Feeling quite bold at the knowledge, she ventured to take a small bite. Her eyes opened and she was very impressed at the taste. "I should not have judged the book by its cover, this is quite tasty." she thought, and realized that the expected sliminess was not there, and found the delicacy to be extremely delicious. Afterwards, she had ordered salmon, a more familiar territory, and came out of the restaurant with a full stomach.
