What is your favorite food? Does
it come from the USA or from
another country?
My favorite food is pizza. Many say that
this flat bread came from Greece; others
say Italy. Mine comes from Pizza Hut / USA!
I’d like to try the traditional gyros of
Greece. I like the way they shave the
meat off big spools and I like the bread.
