Where do you eat lunch? What is your favorite food?:

"I eat lunch back at my house since we don´t have lunch at school. They let us have a snack during our break, but you have to bring your food from home. This snack is at 11:30 a.m. I eat when I get home at 3:20 p.m. My favorite food right now is pasta, I think, but I also like pizza and salad."

What is your favorite food?
