The food

Another thing I have to get used to while being here is the food. To start with, German food is very different from Spanish food, of course, since they don’t follow the Mediterranean diet here. But also, in my host family, some of them are vegetarians. Not all of them—only two of the daughters are. But of course, since it’s much easier to cook just one meal for everyone, most of the time we don’t eat meat or fish. I don’t like meat that much, so it hasn’t been too hard for me to get used to, but sometimes I do feel like having some. I’m eating a lot more vegetables than I usually do, but I don’t mind because it’s really healthy. Also, I’m lucky to be someone who eats everything and likes most foods. Even so, there have been things that surprised me—for example, they once made a lentil lasagna. It was really tasty.
