Lilit / Armenia 
What do you usually eat for dinner?
Hello. My name is Lilith and I'm from Armenia. Today, my question is, what do you usually eat for dinner?
Here in Armenia, we have lots of traditional dishes which are made with meat and are really delicious, but somehow I happen not to like them. It's probably because all my childhood I've eaten Armenian traditional food, and I have grown to dislike this kind of food.
So now that I'm lucky to be living alone, I can cook whatever I like. I'm really fond of Italian food. So for dinner, I usually have either a pasta with some different types of sauce, or some soup, sometimes mashed potatoes with steak, and occasionally pizza. I really like seafood and fish. So from time to time, I make some new dishes which include seafood, or fried fish, or fish and chips, and things like that.
