What is a food you loved as a child but do not enjoy anymore?
I really can't think of anything besides various processed meat things - Vienna sausages, devilled ham sandwiches, liverwurst, chopped chicken liver pâté - that just sound gross to me now. I didn't love them back then so much as ate them without issue.

What’s a food you used to dislike but now enjoy? What changed?
I've always been a pretty adventurous eater, but I don't think I liked spinach much. It was invariably old and tough, more like bad kale than anything. Now I add frozen spinach to so many meals, and saag paneer is one of my favourite dishes to order.

If you could eat only one cuisine for the rest of your life, which would you choose?
Indian, Mexican, or Salvadoran. I can't narrow it down further than that; each has tons of variety and flavour and I would never get bored.

What food instantly makes you feel comforted or happy?
Pastina with butter and parm, buttered white rice, or avgolemono soup.

What food reminds you most of your childhood?
Pot roast, vague "curry", spectacularly yellow (served with little dishes of peanuts and banana pieces[??] along with chutney), tuna casserole with potato chips, crescent-roll "empanadas" filled with sloppy-joe meat, and southern New England crispy thincrust pizza made by Greek immigrants.

Are there any foods you think are overrated?
Not really, though I'm not interested in steak and grilling and smoking and that sort of thing. (In general, I'm really put off by that online thing where people get incredibly aggressive about food opinions. It's all good! So what if someone makes [X] in a way your sainted grandmother never did? You don't have to eat it, chill.)

What traditional dish from your country would you recommend to a visitor?
From the US, I love succotash, as well as baked beans. From Canada, poutine, I suppose? Maybe yellow pea soup?

Who is the best cook you know, and what makes their food special?
Honestly, probably I am. Which isn't to say that I am anywhere near exceptional, but I love cooking and I feel pretty confident making a variety of dishes and trying new things. I just wish our kitchen had any room whatsoever and that more than one burner worked on the stove. Then I would be unstoppable, or something.
