Comparatives & Superlatives

Conversation

I tried making that traditional dish you mentioned, but it turned out a bit too brosy for my taste.

Really? I thought it was supposed to be hearty and filling.

Yeah, it was definitely filling, but I think I added too much water, making it more like a soup.

Next time, just adjust the water — it should be perfect when it has that nice brosy texture!
