III. Choose the correct words to complete the text.
I took my girlfriend out for dinner the other day to an expensive restaurant. I was a little worried things might go a little (1pie-/ pear-) shaped because I hadn`t booked a table, but luckily everything went fine. We ordered a (2creamy/ greasy) mushroom soup as a starter, which was rich in flavors and had a beautifully (3crumbly/ smooth) texture.

When the main course arrived, it looked absolutely (5tasteless/ mouth-watering) we couldn`t wait to eat it! The food was fantastic. The fish was cooked to perfection, with lovely (6chewy/ crunchy) vegetables on the side, and it came with a slightly (7spicy/ bland) sauce, which probably had some chilli in it. We had a wonderful dessert too: it was a (8sweet/ stale) rice pudding with slices of perfectly (9ripe / sticky) mango. All the dishes we had were really (10tasty/ bitter), and several of them were exceptional, so we`re thinking of going there again soon.Mark _____/10
