Nina: Hey, do you want to get a takeaway? I don’t feel like cooking.

Sam: OK. Look, this menu came through the door this morning. It looks kind of interesting.

Nina: Yeah, I saw that. It’s from the new burger place up the road. I was reading it earlier. It’s a bit strange.

Sam: Why?

Nina: I don’t really know where to begin. First, there’s no meat in any of the burgers.

Sam: Really? What’s in them?

Nina: There’s a nut burger and a veggie burger.

Sam: That sounds ok.

Nina: Maybe, but I haven’t finished explaining. Secondly, the burger buns are made with 25% insect flour.

Sam: Insect flour? Seriously?

Nina: Seriously. It’s really good for you. It says here you can also get normal buns, though. And then, there are no fries.

Sam: No fries?

Nina: Well, there ARE fries, but they are made from sweet potatoes, green beans and other

vegetables.

Sam: Can I get a milkshake, at least?

Nina: Well, that’s the last thing that’s strange about this menu. You can get a milkshake, but the ice cream is made out of oat milk.

Sam: Well, I think it sounds really cool. The other takeaways around here are all the same and I’m bored with their food. At last – something different! We should try it.

Nina: I’m not sure.

Sam: You’re just afraid to try new things. Remember when we were on holiday in Thailand and we got street food? At first, you didn’t want to have any, but then you said that my food smelled good and you tried it and you loved it! You ate my whole dinner!

Nina: You’re right. It’ll be interesting. We should try it.

Sam: OK, write down what you want to order, and I’ll phone them. It says here that they deliver. And look – all their bags are made of recycled paper. There’s no plastic! That’s unusual!
