Ewww.... lunch!

What is the worst lunch you have ever had? How about a olive and crab bagel or a oyster and pickle sandwich with hot sauce? To practice our descriptive writing we had Ewww.... lunches. We poked and smelled but didn't eat it! ps. Mrs. Currie's mom used to pack her olive loaf---- ewww.... gross!
