This is kinda embarrassing because someone asked me a few days ago what my favorite food was and I said I don’t have a favorite food lmao. I didn’t have time to explain to him that I can’t answer that question because the evaluation of what my favorite food is is contingent on whether food prep and cleanup counts towards evaluating my favorite food. Aw shit, I should’ve answered his question with a “do you consider ease of food prep and cleanup as part of what makes food your favorite food or do you just consider the eating part of the food?” clarifying question. It honestly would be a better approach to getting to know him instead of answering with some random food like tomato soup.
Yeah I try to interpret it that way now and usually try to think of what I’m into in the moment. Favorite movie halts my brain tho lmao, I always want to answer Interstellar and then I just argue with myself in my head
If that is the case that can also change depending on my mood. Like lately I have been getting crispy tacos from a local taqueria that are bomb as fuck, but that’s because it’s right on my way to work. After eating that for 5 days straight I’m kinda sick of it and want to hit up the deli by my house for a sandwich. And that’s just lunch!
Are we talking restaurant or self made?
Also what about snacks? I don’t really like potato chips on their own, but I find them essential when paired with my sandwich, so does my favorite sandwich include not just the contents of the sandwich itself but the chips, which enhance the sandwich eating experience too?
Yes! That would have been the perfect follow up question. It’s not just some information that overall tells only little about you, and then on to the next question. Instead it defers giving that information, making it more interesting to hear it later. But for now, in the process of getting to know you it shows a little how you think, which helps with the underlying motivation — getting to know you — much more.

I definitely think for most (NT) people if they ask about your favorite food they probably mean the eating part.

I wish they’d phrase it differently, I always freeze up when I’m asked a “favorite” because my brain starts trying to figure out what I like the most
