What do you typically eat for breakfast? coffee

What is your favorite snack or candy? Chips! Or dark chocolate. That's also good.

What is your favorite spice? smoky cayenne

What is one food you absolutely dislike? pineapple

What is one of your favorite dishes? This is so hard! It kind of depends on the day. But one of my favorite foods from when I was a kid is bierock, a roll stuffed with ground beef, cabbage, sourkraut, and cheese. They are best with green tomato relish.
