Scorify.uzQuestions and sample answers
What is your favourite food?
I love plov, our national dish. It is made with rice, carrots and meat, and the smell alone makes me hungry. My father cooks it every Sunday, so it also reminds me of family.
Do you enjoy cooking?
Yes, although I am not an expert. I can prepare simple dishes like pasta and omelettes, and I am slowly learning more complicated recipes from videos online.
Do you prefer eating at home or in restaurants?
I prefer home cooking because it is healthier and cheaper, but I enjoy going to a restaurant with friends once or twice a month for a change.
Is food in your country healthy?
Traditional food contains lots of vegetables, fruit and bread, which is healthy. However, many dishes are quite oily, and fast food is becoming more common among young people.
What did you eat for breakfast today?
I had tea with bread, cheese and a boiled egg. I am usually in a hurry in the morning, so I keep breakfast simple.
Have your eating habits changed over the years?
Yes. I used to eat a lot of sweets, but now I try to eat more fruit and drink water instead of fizzy drinks because I want to stay in good shape.
