Stacy / Australia 
What is your favorite food?
Hi, I'm Stacy. I'm Australian, and I live in Scotland, and my question is, what is my favorite food?
Well, I have two sushi and chocolate, but not together. I love sushi. I love this restaurant that I go to in Edinburgh and it has the most amazing sushi. I like to get the rainbow roll, which is tuna and salmon and cucumber and avocado, but it's also the way that it's beautifully presented. There is such an artistry to making sushi, and I just appreciate everything that goes into it, and I savor every bite. I just want to eat more and more and more. I could sit there for hours and just eating little bits here and there. I just love it. Chocolate, I mean, who doesn't love chocolate? It's sweet. It's comfort food. It's lovely when you dip it into your tea or your coffee and it melts a little bit. I love chocolate on strawberries. If you haven't tried that, give it a try. It's delicious. I just love chocolate and I love sushi, and that's me, and that makes me so happy.
