    Common foods; I eat a lot of pasta/pizza/pastry based foods due to my Italian and Macedonian background. I also eat a mixture of vegetables, meats, fruits and nuts.

Food influence; I eat a lot of traditional Italian and Macedonian foods from my grandparents. My family and I enjoy going out and eating Chinese and Thai foods. I enjoy trying foods from different cultures.
