【一起闲话英语】最喜爱的食物-Favorite Food

Adrienne, The United Sates

speaker What is my favorite food? I don't have a favorite food. I don't have a food that I would eat every day for the rest of my life if I could only choose one thing. That doesn't exist for me. I do like spicy¹ food though, so anything spicy is good for me and the best foods are Mexican, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai. These are all some of my favorites because they are particularly spicy foods.

 

Phil, England

speaker What's my favorite food? My favorite food is Okonomoyaki. Okonomoyaki is a Japanese food. It's similar I guess to an English pancake but it involves different kinds of cabbage and meat and an egg. And their mixed together and then in the restaurant you would cook it in front of yourself and it's very delicious and usually you have barbecue sauce and mayonnaise on top. I also like paella, which is Spanish food. It has yellow rice and lots of different types of seafood² and sometimes it can be spicy.

 

Barbara, Australia

speaker What's my favorite food? Well, these days I really love fruit, especially grapes and I also like avocados. I don't really go for green apples though. They usually taste too sour. In the past I liked Italian food but these days I'm trying to be more healthy so I cut that out.

 

Lisa, Canada

speaker What is my favorite food? My favorite food, or my favorite foods are bagel locks and cream cheese, which is bagels smoked salmon³ and cream cheese. Montreal bagels preferably fresh out of the oven⁴. Two, Greek souvlaki from Arahovas in Montreal, really heavy on the garlic and with tzatziki, nice succulent chicken. Three, a great grilled⁵ steak.

 

Simone, Sweden

speaker What's my favorite food? I don't really have any favorite food. I like guoza. It's the Japanese dumpling. I can never stop eating that. I guess that's my favorite food.

 

Skip, The United Sates

speaker OK, what is my favorite food? I suppose I would have to say curry⁶, but I don't have one curry especially that's a favorite. Thai curry is very great. I love all Thai food.
