Ordering food is one of my favorite activities to do.
Pedir comida es una de mis actividades favoritas.

Some of the holidays I have been on have been “foodie” holidays, where we just go round cafes and restaurants. Algunas de las vacaciones en las que he estado han sido vacaciones "gastronómicas", en las que nos limitamos a recorrer cafeterías y restaurantes. (Error en audio: Omite la palabra "been" antes de "foodie".)

When we are ordering food, I always try to go for something that I wouldn’t make for myself at home.
Cuando pedimos comida, siempre intento elegir algo que no me prepararía en casa.

For example, I rarely cook seafood at home because my family don’t like the smell of fish.
Por ejemplo, rara vez cocino comida de mar en casa porque a mi familia no le gusta el olor a pescado.

Also, it is really hard to get fresh seafood when you are not near the sea.
Además, es muy difícil conseguir comida de mar fresca cuando no estás cerca del mar.

I love to order seafood which has been locally caught.
Me encanta pedir comida de mar pescada en la zona.

When we go out, my partner always orders a burger.
Cuando salimos, mi pareja siempre pide una hamburguesa.

I think it’s a shame to order a burger when the world is full of delicious food to eat!
Creo que es una pena pedir una hamburguesa cuando el mundo está lleno de comida deliciosa.

I always like to order a glass of wine with my food when we go out.
Siempre me gusta pedir un vaso de vino con la comida cuando salimos.

My friends also like to order wine with their food, so we often share a bottle between us.
A mis amigos también les gusta pedir vino con la comida, así que a menudo compartimos una botella entre los dos.

Some of my friends prefer lagers.
Algunos de mis amigos prefieren las cervezas rubias.

When we go on holiday, we like to order local specialities.
Cuando vamos de vacaciones, nos gusta pedir especialidades locales.

For example, in Spain we will order tapas or other local specialities.
Por ejemplo, en España pedimos tapas u otras especialidades locales.

When we went to Turkey, I would always order an apple tea because we don’t have that where I live.
Cuando íbamos a Turquía, siempre pedía un té de manzana porque no lo tenemos donde vivo.

I don’t really like to order sugar-laden desserts when we go out.
No me gusta pedir postres cargados de azúcar cuando salimos.

Instead, I will order a cheese board or maybe a dessert wine.
En su lugar, pido una tabla de quesos o un vino de postre.

To be honest, sometimes I will just order a bottle of the dessert wine!
Para ser sincera, ¡a veces sólo pido una botella de vino de postre!

Ordering food is such a great way to get to know new places.
Pedir comida es una forma estupenda de conocer nuevos lugares.

When we cycled around Europe, we ordered food at lots of different types of shops.
Cuando recorrimos Europa en bicicleta, pedimos comida en muchos establecimientos diferentes.

We could talk to the chefs about where the food had come from, and we could watch them making it!
Podíamos hablar con los cocineros sobre la procedencia de la comida y ver cómo la preparaban.
