食事の好き嫌いを聞いてみよう

Asking your friend about her likes and dislikes
友人の食事の好き嫌いを聞いてみよう。
Be very careful when discussing "likes and dislikes", especially when they involve politics or religion. Among casual friends or co-workers, it may be best to restrict this kind of discussion to food, movies, and music. And NEVER discuss politics and religion with your in-laws, unless you're "on the same side" or have a very good relationship to begin with. 「好き嫌い」を話題にする際はかなり気を付けましょう。特に政治や宗教に関わる場合は。時々顔を合わせる友達や同僚とは食べ物や映画の話題にしておくのが良いでしょう。あなたが「同じ支持派」かまずは良い関係を築く場合でない限り、姻戚とは絶対に政治や宗教について話さないように。

Did you have a question for me?

Yes, I did. is there any good you like or dislike?

自然な表現

Yes, I did. Is there any good you like or dislike?

1. We should capitalize the first letter of a sentence.
Yes, there are definitely some foods I feel strongly about. I really enjoy sushi and Italian cuisine, but I'm not a fan of spicy foods. What about you? Are there any specific foods you particularly love or avoid?

Really? I can't enjoy meals with you. Can I leave here? I love spicy food, which makes us younger as long as possible. It's said that topics about food and movies are safe and never discuss politics and religion, but I'm skeptical that food and movies are related to religion and politics.

1. The preposition 'for' is needed here. We use it to refer to duration - how long something lasts.
2. The clause requires a subject. We could use "we". Also, we need the verb "should" here. "Should" is used to say or ask what is the correct or best thing to do.
It's alright. May it be that we have different likes when it comes to food but we can always start a good conversation. Movies are also nice to talk about. Any movie you are up to these days?

I wanted to say earlier that I think food and movies are related to religion and politics. Well, I'm so into dark comedies these days. Anyway, let's enjoy a conversation. Then, I'll ask a chef to put lots of habanero sauce in all dishes. I like teasing my favorite people. You say the same as Japanese women do. They often say they like sushi, Italian cuisine, and grilled meat because Japanese men want women to say that. You must have a Japanese girlfriend! I can't stop getting jealous of you! I need to delete her from your mind.

1. You expressed yourself well here. There is nothing to correct, so this is an alternative expression we could use in this context - "I've been really enjoying dark comedies lately."
No need to be jealous, haha! Let's enjoy our conversation and find common ground. Dark comedies are great. Have you watched any good ones recently? I'd love to hear your recommendations.

"Insatiable" is interesting, but there seem to be many silly criticisms, and the production was cut in two seasons. I like the character Debby Ryan performed. My story might not finish quickly, so I'll write about this movie in another writing lesson. Let me see. I found a picture of you and a Japanese woman on Instagram. You two were at a cheap sushi conveyor belt restaurant. I wouldn't say I like sushi, but you should take me to a sushi bar where Lady Gaga went and post our picture on Instagram.
