I love to cook but I am not very good at it, do you cook well?
I do and it is one of my favorite things. Cooking is considered a science as well as an art.
I'm bad at both of those things as well, so it makes sense now.  I wonder why it is considered a science?
Cooking involves the mixing of many ingredients just like you mix chemicals in science.
That makes sense.  I guess the art comes in by making it look beautiful on the plate.
One of my favorite types of food is Mexican, it has been around for 9000 years.
I love mexican and I can't believe it has been around that long!  What kinds of ingredients do they use in Mexican food?
Maize is a staple of their cuisine, it is a kind of corn that they use for tortillas and other things.
