Favorite Food: So as an individual food, I would say either sweet potatoes or cereal. But not just 1 cereal, you have to mix 2-3 different boxes and flavors together. And sweet potatoes can be more sweet with cinnamon and maple syrup or more savory with butter and spices, it’s all delicious. As far as a cuisine, my favorite is italian. Any type of pasta noodle, sauce, and any combination of vinegar, oils, tomatoes, and cheese.
