Sample Answer 

I had an unusual meal about two weeks ago. I was out to dinner with a few friends at an Indian restaurant. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet, but instead of having the usual curries and naans, the restaurant offered some really unique dishes. We tried a few of the dishes that we had never heard of before, like a pomegranate, potato, and cashew curry and a jaggery-filled crepe. The flavors were really different and unexpected, and we all really enjoyed the meal. I think what made it so unusual was that the dishes were so different from what we normally eat. It was definitely a fun and special experience. 

I think what made it so unusual was that the dishes were so different from what we normally eat. The flavors were really different and unexpected, and it was a fun and special experience. I ate this meal about a year ago at a cozy little restaurant in the city. We had a variety of dishes, including brazilian churrasco pineapple, a spicy chili-rubbed steak, and a creamy coconut curry. The flavors were definitely something I had never experienced before, and it was certainly a memorable meal.
