The Best Food I Ever Ate


This Speech is meant to get your to express EMOTIONS. You will be THOROUGHLY explaining to the audience the BEST FOOD YOU EVER ATE. You will need to use PRECISE words to get your peers to want to eat this food...RIGHT AWAY!

The secret to success with this speech:

A VISUAL AIDE…let the audience SEE the food!
PRECISE words...use a dictionary or thesaurus...be creative!

Length of Speech: 5 minutes
Written Portion: Note Cards


How do you start?

The FIRST sense you eat with is your EYES. Therefore start your speech with what you see when you look at the food.

Descriptions using similes and metaphors are EXCELLENT!!

REMEMBER: Your food may be unfamiliar to a classmate, try to make analogies to similar foods to try to connect with the audience.

SECOND...what do you SMELL? Our sense of smell ignites that fire in our belly.

THIRD...Touch...do you eat this with your fingers or a fork? Therefore the sense of touch could start with your hands actually touching the food or describing use of utensils.

TASTE: What does this taste like when you eat it?

Where can you get inspiration:
Food Network
