 AK>>> Why "at last"?
 GH>> Because I was going to try it for a while and that day the

 AK> AH, you have been trying to test it for all your life... :)

"To try" means "to taste" or "to have a taste". "To test" doesn't really belong here, I guess. (?)
For a while" isn't the same as "for all your life".
Anyway, that was just an example at hand.

 AK> I prefer English classics:
 AK> George suggested meat and fruit pies, cold meat, tomatoes, fruit, and
 AK> green stuff.
 AK> Could the author omit "a" and say about fruit pie?

I guess he could. If they were discussing just types of food or lunch ideas and not particular menu items.
