Some examples that might help you with your memorising..
Salad... Sailor lad, wearing a lettuce bib, cucumber shoes, tomato earings mopping the deck with a parsley mop.
Cashews... imagine chewing on cash or wearing shoes made out of cash.
Carrot... car rotting,
Ceasor salad dressing... ceasor standing stark naked getting dressed up with salad assortments.
Smoked salmon- fish smoking a cigarette.
The above is a play on words. The idea is to let go and have fun with learning it. Remember to review each list for 3 to 5 minutes checking how well you remember from time to time. Anything that you don't remember you just need ot improve the image and sound effects, a squeeze of lemon could well be an image of a lemon sneezing as a hand squeezes it hear the loud sneeze in your imagination as well. Allow it to build, you'll find that once you got the foundation you'll be able to remember the other stuff easier.
If you get frustrated while trying to learn the menu... get up, get yourself a glass of water, go outside and do some deep breathing exercises to relax yourself (just breathe ). Then when you feel relaxed return to your project. As for the water... feel free to drink it anytime.
