Welcome to Gavin's English Room Podcast!
Perfect timing there. Thank you.
So let's talk about our all-time favorite food.
Yeah.
O-bento gaishoku no toki ni tabeta mono jisui shita ryouri.
So anything, anything that we ate, out of all genres, anything.
That is a very difficult question.
You know.
Like, uh, yeah.
I feel like one of the most difficult questions to answer is like, "What's your favorite color?"
I feel like no one knows the right answer to that question.
"What's your favorite color?" is a very hard question to answer.
What's your favorite color?
Um, blue?
[laughter]
But, um, and, and, "What's your favorite food?"
That's also a difficult kind of topic.
Like, there's, there are some food that I tend to want to eat frequently, but like,
I don't know if I would identify as that, as my, as my, the, my most favorite food.
I don't, that's a very difficult question, you know.
I think it's very situational.
Yeah, right.
Right? Scenarialistic.
Yeah.
Wow.
Hmm.
Well, to me, it's really difficult to compare like fruits and like sweet things, like cakes,
and like usual, like foods, like sushi or like meat things.
Yeah.
You know, it's really difficult to compare if I like mangoes or like sushis because...
Like, how, right?
Yeah.
How do you compare that?
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
And it depends on the timing as well.
Yeah.
Like right now you want, you may want to eat...
Of course.
Mangoes more than sushis, but other times you'd want to eat sushi more, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um.
Okay, try.
But the cliche answer that I always give out are pizzas, hamburgers, steak, sushi, lasagnas.
Okay.
Okay.
Do you, I mean, do you really love those?
I really love those.
Okay.
Like, I relatively eat those food.
Yeah.
More than...
Right, pizzas.
Anything else?
Yeah.
Anything else?
Okay.
Yeah.
Like it's one of the more highly consumed dishes by me.
Yeah.
In your life.
In my life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Um.
Sprite.
Sprite.
Mountain Dew.
Okay.
I tend to love those as drinks.
I love milk.
Milk.
03:00
Toniu.
Um.
What about chocolates?
I do love chocolates, but it's declining.
Oh, really?
It is declining.
Okay.
Yeah, because it's unhealthy.
Yeah.
Not that anything else that I said is healthy.
Healthy, but.
Yeah.
Um, it is declining.
Okay.
Yeah.
Because of the amount of sugar.
Okay.
After you mentioned like Mountain Dew or like Cokes and then.
Yeah, I still believe that Mountain Dews are healthier than chocolates.
Yes, that's still in me.
That I gotta be honest with you.
I still think it's better for my body.
Oh, great.
To go for Mountain Dew.
Okay, okay.
Or like pizzas and hamburgers are less fat than.
Yes, yes.
I still believe that.
Because, because you can never.
Yeah.
I feel more guilt when I eat chocolates.
I never do, but like, let's say that I had to eat a chocolate, like a whole bowl of chocolate.
Yeah.
For lunch, right?
For lunch?
Yeah, like a whole plate of pizza, like which is not guilty.
Okay.
Which is not guiltier.
I would say the pizza is less guilty.
Yeah.
Like imagine eating a bowl of chocolate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's really like.
Right.
Oh, it's gonna go down on your body like really heavy.
Yeah.
You know?
So that's my point.
That's my argument.
Yeah, okay.
Get it.
But you know, I love veggies as well, you know.
Veggies.
Okay.
I love all veggies.
Like I love broccoli.
I love broccoli, carrots, lettuce.
Oh, you love carrots?
I do.
You know that?
Okay.
You know I buy.
Your chocolate fruit, not your your your your chocolate.
Yes, I mix it.
Like they sell that at my basket and like broccoli.
Yeah.
cauliflower.
Next.
Yeah, all those next frozen and I and I microwave it.
I buy I eat like a half a pack.
Like almost every day.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it's it's.
I love it.
I love it.
You're talking about like this diced cut and like mixed vegetables thing.
Yeah, it's it's not diced cut like because like a really small it's it's bigger.
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I love salad.
I sometimes just eat a salad for dinner.
Oh, really?

So, Mexican food as well I love Mexican food I love burrito nachos tacos all that love
it.
Right?

Yeah, sour cream.
I love sour cream.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just distinct Mexican foods are relatively healthy.
I think Mexican food foods are healthy.
Okay.
Even if you put sour cream on it.
That's healthy.
Okay, you still.
I would consider that healthy.
06:01
Yeah, like so many chips with so many cheese on it.
Yeah, it's still bad.
Yes, I realized that it's bad.
I understand that it's bad.
Yeah.
But like, I think it's healthier than than a bowl of chocolate.
I still think it's a it's healthier than healthier than pizzas.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I guess Mexican I think yeah, yeah, yeah, it's healthier than American food.
Yeah, I think so.
I agree.
It's healthier.
And American foods are healthier than the bowl of chocolate.
Absolutely.
So nothing is more worse than a bowl of chocolate.
Yeah.
Why are you comparing with that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
Okay.
It's like a beatable, beatable, unhealthy dish.
But you know, I love Japanese food as well.

I love going to the...
That you can refill free.
Yeah, I don't do that.
Oh, you don't do that?
Why?
Because it's unhealthy.
Now it's really confusing, right?
Yeah.
Like, are you are you trying to be healthy or what?
I don't know, what's your... how are you categorizing all this stuff, right?
How do you think that's unhealthy?
Because you're eating too much.
Having too nan is just... it's too much.
Okay.

Oh, yeah.
Because that's big for my face.
Have you seen... it's big.

So yeah, for like just from the beginning, like, it's like I got some...
I got some this wine.

To just open up the party like a...
Okay.
By my own.

The whole point is that there's a lot.
Yes.
Yes.
It's really difficult to answer the question of what's your favorite food?
Yeah.
Depends on the situation.
We should give them like a question back to them.
Yeah.
All right.
So in order for us to answer that question, we need a...
So give me a situation, time, my hunger level.
12:02
Yeah.
And what did I eat the day before?
Yeah.
And the day before that?
Yeah.
Then I'll answer.
True.
Right.
Right.
It really depends on what you ate before.
Yeah, that's true.
Like your mood of like, "Oh, I ate something very oily."
Yeah.
"So I don't want to eat anything that's heavy."
Yeah.
Right.
Right?
True.
So the question was like, what's your choice if you enter like this restaurant?
Uh-huh.
Or like, you know...
That's a great way of framing the question.
Yeah.
Like what do you get if you go to an Italian restaurant, right?
That's a good way to frame things.
Then we can kind of...
Now the conversation starts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So mean, you know?
It's just a simple question.
God damn it.
Why do we got to be so mean?
But yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
