Hi im becki. im in the category 16 and under. I would prefer a main course. Im a lacto-ovo vegetarian. I live in the UK. I have no other dietary requirements. I like British food. My staple food would be pasta. I like my portions to be small. I like my products to come in recyclable packaging and also packaging from recyclable materials. I like my food to be done in the oven. Any time is fine. I hear about food adverts in gossip magazines, on the radio and on the television. I would spend £2.00-£2.99 for one product. Approval from the Vegetarian Society is quite important to me. Hope this helps and good luck on your coursework!
