…the vinegar was too sharp…, Faith

As we began to pack to go out for a picnic, I was trying to decide what crisps to take, chicken or prawn cocktail flavour. While I was stood deciding, my brother picked out salt and vinegar.

When we got to our destination, we laid out a blanket and set out the food, after finishing my sandwiches I started to eat the chicken flavour crisps. My brother began to shake his head, “Try one of these,” he said.

As I tried one, I quickly had to get a drink as the vinegar was too sharp and stung my lips instantly.

Dear Diary,

 Last night I had fish and chips for tea! They were the worst fish and chips that I have ever eaten because of one thing... the vinegar was too sharp, it was so strong I could hardly even eat any of the chips. The thing that annoys me most is that I didn’t ask for any vinegar not even one drop, all I asked for was a pinch of salt. They didn’t listen to me. Luckily, my friend loves vinegar so I swapped my dinner for hers. Hers didn’t have vinegar! She came to the rescue, nothing got wasted.

I love baking competitions! The fact that I am one of the amazing judges is incredible I can't wait! We will be doing a salad theme yay. There are three other judges that will be joining me - let's start! The timer began, after a while all the bakers finished. One by one, we tasted the lovely looking dishes. I tasted the first one and I loved it, it was just perfect. The next one- it was ok I guess, not as good as the first one though. Now...... the last one...... it was horrible the vinegar was too sharp!

It was a frosty night in England, my mum (who was an amazing cook) had just made some sausage and chips. It sent a brilliant lingering smell throughout the dull, jet-black room.  

“Finally!” I shouted, my mouth started to water continuously.  

My mum, taking all the caution in the world, sluggishly walked over to the insecure table and placed it down. The smell started to float up even more, so it rushed through my nostrils. I snatched the beautiful vinegar out of my brother’s hands and took a bite like a lion, but the vinegar was too sharp.

“I’ll take a fish and chip special delight please,” stated John, “and add extra vinegar as well, thank you!” He carefully counted out the total cost of the meal (£11.54) and sat down on a flashy blood-red table, with a matching wobbly chair.

Around 20 minutes later, his meal was served, the mouth-watering delicate food was now in his ownership. He took his first big bite on a wonky chip and almost immediately spat it out! The vinegar was too sharp! He asked a nearby waitress for a refund but still had to pay.

“Next time, I won't add anymore vinegar...”

I got out my can of mushy peas and opened them with a tin-opener. Grabbed out the vinegar and accidentally poured it in! I had a taste because I didn’t know if it was alright or not... Ewe! The vinegar was too sharp. The taste was awful, and my mouth tingled as though it had just been electrocuted or something. Then, I ran to the bathroom and rinsed my mouth out with water until the pain went away. It took a few mouthfuls off water, but it finally disappeared. A few moments later I went downstairs and got another can!

As we sat down for tea, mum said, “Don’t forget the salt and vinegar, it goes really well with fish and chips.” We had spent all day peeling the potatoes and cooking the fish. After I had set the table, I sat down and poured the vinegar onto my chips and started to eat my food. I soon realised I may have put a bit too much vinegar on. The vinegar was too sharp. I quickly got a glass of water and gulped it down. That tasted much better than vinegar.

In a bad-looking house, a girl called Amber was cooking a dinner for her lovely family. When she saw a puppy out of the window, she didn’t realise that she was pouring the vinegar all the time she was looking at the dog. She tasted it just to see if it could be okay, but the vinegar was too sharp and it tasted like a mouthful of soy sauce. It was way too sharp because half of the bottle had poured onto the dinner. She was so disappointed. When her family came, she quickly started to make another dinner.

Today was the day when the vinegar was too sharp. Sitting on a seat eating some chips, I noticed that the vinegar on my delicious chips had a really funny taste which made them taste really sharp (in a bad way). Standing up going towards the chef of the restaurant, I asked, “Why does the vinegar on my chips taste sharp?”

And he replied with, “Sorry but our vinegar is sharp so if you do not like it just don’t come back.” After that day I never went to that fish and chips shop for the rest of my life.

“Thomas can you pass me the vinegar please?” Amy asked politely, adding salt to her chips. Thomas passed her the vinegar and Amy poured it on her chips, but something wasn't right, when Amy ate a vinegar covered chip the vinegar was grey - the vinegar was too sharp, but Amy did not care she just kept eating and eating and eating.

Ten minutes later, Amy passed out and dropped to the floor. When police found and examined the vinegar they found it was highly dosed with soya sauce - it was way more than a human could handle and one of Amy's family made it but who?

Last week, the scariest thing happened. I came home to find mum screaming in pain and her hand pouring with blood. I saw the vinegar jar smashed on the floor; glass shards were everywhere! Then, out of the blue, a man's voice said, "Hm, I guess the vinegar was too sharp." The man chuckled before saying, "She won't make it out alive, I’m sorry." He smiled again, it looked sinister.

Suddenly I was grabbed by the back of my neck and dragged out the house. "LET ME G-" I screamed, but it was cut off by something big and black.
