‘fast food’ doesn’t mean ‘junk food’. All the food is very
healthy.

strange, like cherry and banana juice or tomato and
carrot juice. My favourite is the apple and cherry juice!

‘fast food’ doesn’t mean ‘junk food’. All the food is very
healthy.

strange, like cherry and banana juice or tomato and
carrot juice. My favourite is the apple and cherry juice!

My name is Sita and I love omelettes. I can eat
them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. But I don’t
usually eat omelettes on weekdays. I have a big
omelette on Saturdays. Every Saturday, my
mum makes omelettes for lunch. My sister, Joud,
and I love her omelettes. They’re delicious! My
favourite omelette has got a lot of tomatoes in it. It’s
also got a pepper, some mushrooms and cheese. I call it Tomatotino.
Joud doesn’t like it. She hates tomatoes, but I love them! Her favourite omelette
has got a lot of cheese, a pepper, an onion and some chicken. It’s got some

cherries. I think it’s strange, but she’s crazy about it!
