Writing exercise

I ate a bunch of string. I heard my colleagues say it was delicious a year ago, but I haven’t eaten it yet. Nowadays many things are too old to try, and I don’t know how to order, so I never eat them every time I see them.
It tastes a little like childhood. When I was young, I took a bath in the bathing place, and when I washed it out very hungry, I always had to eat a few strings.

I ate a bunch of kebabs. I heard my colleagues say they were really good a year ago, but I haven’t eaten any yet. Maybe I’m too old to try new things, and I forgot how to order them, so I usually pass them up.
The taste reminds me of my childhood. When I was young, I took a bath in the bathhouse, and when I finished washing I was very hungry, I always had to eat a few kebabs.
