英语口语话题--在外就餐

想起最开始自己和别人一起吃饭的时候，总会跟人说随便，后来吃多了也不习惯给跟别人推荐。大抵是自己对吃的要求不高，或许则是认为还不错，没觉得特别好吃，因此不愿意给一个赞。慢慢发现生活索然无味，变成一个无趣的人。在外吃饭，无论是选饭店还是菜色都有很多值得考究的地方。很多菜确实做得非常不错，吃起来很想再来一趟。

在看Family album USA《走遍美国》的时候，了解到美国人饭后会想吃些甜点。记得是主人公Richard的弟弟Robbie为全家人准备晚餐。吃到差不多的时候，想起忘记了准备甜点。最后好在是家里有储备一些冰激淋可以吃。

我很容易把dessert这个词和desert弄混，后来无意间看到有人说，甜点甜死人，所以会多一个s，这些就再没有忘记了。

pig out 大吃特吃
