The food in the new restaurant was delicious/different/challenging.

Recently divorced after a weight gain of 75 pounds and the wife running off with the butcher, Harry was now on his own and fending for himself, so when there was news of a new restaurant opening in town, he was all for giving it a whirl.

The Blue Habit was warm and welcoming inside, and he took a seat by the window to peruse the menu without having to strain his eyes.
Prices were reasonable and he decided to order something basic, so settled on bangers and mash with onion gravy.
The smell from the kitchen had his taste buds watering within minutes.

He could certainly say the food in the new restaurant was different.
Harry was used to colour on his plate as the ex had always seen to that when dishing up his meals, brown or white meat, roast, mashed or boiled potatoes, peas, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, swede, beetroot, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, even the occasional sliced pineapple or peaches.
However, this was taking colour co-ordination too far as everything on his plate was blue. As to how it tasted he couldn’t say, as he suddenly lost his appetite.
