So

2:23

the first one as I said is your favorite

2:25

food. So the questions that you could

2:27

ask people when you're in that situation

2:29

is well simply what's your favorite

2:32

dish? Now in English dish means a plate

2:35

of food or something that somebody's

2:37

prepared. It's not just the dish or the

2:39

plate that the food arrives on. So that

2:41

can be sometimes a little bit confusing

2:43

for non-native speakers. So, what's your

2:46

favorite dish? What's your favorite

2:48

meal? Or just simply, what do you like

2:51

to eat? Yeah. So, you can put it in any

2:53

of those situations. Are there any foods

2:56

that you absolutely hate? Or there are

2:58

any foods that you absolutely won't eat.

3:01

So, again, you're trying just to find

3:03

out from people, you know, what their

3:05

customs are or what their cultures are,

3:08

what sort of food they like or what food

3:10

they don't like. Do you like trying new

3:13

foods? Okay. And what's the most recent

3:16

food that you've tasted? You know, have

3:18

you had Vietnamese or you have tried

3:21

other Japanese styles? Whatever it might

3:23

be, you can broaden it out to include

3:26

specific or just generally what have you

3:29

eaten recently or what have you tried

3:31

recently or what new food have you tried

3:34

recently?
