(Favorite Food)

Scenario 1: Casual Conversation with a New Friend

• You: "Hey [Friend's Name], what's your favorite food?"
• Friend: "Oh, that's a tough one! I really love pizza. What about you?"
• You: "Pizza is great! But I think my favorite would have to be sushi."
• Friend: "Sushi? What kind do you like?"
• You: "I'm a big fan of salmon nigiri and spicy tuna rolls."
• Friend: "Nice! I've tried sushi a few times, but I haven't explored it much."

Scenario 2: Talking to a Colleague During Lunch

• You: "This [type of food you're both eating] is pretty good, right?"
• Colleague: "It is! But it's not my absolute favorite. If I could eat anything right now, it would be a big plate of pasta carbonara."
• You: "Oh, I love carbonara too! What makes it your favorite?"
• Colleague: "I just love the creamy sauce and the salty bacon. Comfort food at its best! What's your go-to comfort food?"
• You: "For me, it's definitely a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup. Reminds me of home."

Scenario 3: Discussing Food Preferences in a Group

• Person A: "So, if you could only eat one type of cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be?"
• Person B: "That's a cruel question! I'd probably have to say Italian. So many delicious options!"
• You: "For me, it would be a tie between Thai and Indian food. I love all the spices and flavors."
• Person C: "Ooh, Indian food is amazing! What's your favorite Indian dish?"
• You: "I'm a sucker for a good butter chicken with naan bread."
• Person A: "I'm more of a Mexican food person myself. Tacos and burritos all day!"
