What kind of food did you like when you were young?

I like porridge best when I were young because porridge can be considered as both stable and soup, so after I have them I would not feel hungry or thirsty. Also, it's not salty or spicy like other food so it's easy for children to digest.

× Of course noodles cause noodles can be our main food in our everyday life and it's soups enough for everyone including young people, young child or old people to dig, digest and I can add different flavor in it can be spicy, non spicy, salty or sour.
✓ Of course, noodles are a staple in our everyday life, and there is enough soup for everyone, including young children and elderly people, to digest; I can add different flavors to them, such as spicy, mild, salty, or sour.
The original sentence has multiple issues: run-on structure and incorrect connectors (use of 'cause' incorrectly). Replace 'cause' with appropriate clause connectors and use proper punctuation to separate ideas. 'Noodles' as subject requires plural verb 'are' (subject-verb agreement). Use 'there is/are' for existence ('enough soup for everyone'). 'Young child' and 'old people' should be pluralized and more natural as 'young children' and 'elderly people' (number and word choice). 'Different flavor in it' should be 'different flavors to them' and list examples with consistent adjectives. Suggestion: break into shorter sentences, use commas and semicolons, ensure subject-verb agreement and correct plural forms.
× I like porridge best when I were young because porridge can be considered as both stable and soup, so after I have them I would not feel hungry or thirsty.
✓ I liked porridge best when I was young because porridge can be considered both a staple and a soup, so after I had it I would not feel hungry or thirsty.
Tense inconsistency: the time reference 'when I was young' requires past tense 'liked' and 'was' instead of 'like' and 'were'. 'Were' is incorrect for first person singular; use 'was'. 'Stable' is a misspelling/ wrong word for 'staple'. Replace 'have them' with 'had it' to match singular 'porridge'. Maintain past simple for actions in the past.
× Also, it's not salty or spicy like other food so it's easy for children to digest.
✓ Also, it's not as salty or spicy as other foods, so it's easy for children to digest.
Comparison structure: use 'not as ... as' when comparing degree ('not as salty or spicy as other foods'). 'Other food' should be plural 'other foods'. The pronoun 'it' refers to porridge correctly but ensure comparative structure and plurality for the noun compared.
× Yes, there are different festivals in China, so we will have different food.
✓ Yes, there are different festivals in China, so we have different foods.
Using 'will have' implies future but the question asks generally about times of year; present simple 'have' fits habitual actions. Also use plural 'foods' when referring to various types of food. Maintain tense consistency for habitual events.
× For example, we would have mooncakes in mid Autumn festival to celebrate the festival and in Spring festival we would have dumplings and made it in the whole family.
✓ For example, we have mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival to celebrate, and during the Spring Festival we have dumplings that the whole family makes together.
Use present simple 'have' for habitual festival customs instead of 'would have'. Correct event names capitalization and prepositions: 'during the Mid-Autumn Festival' and 'during the Spring Festival'. 'Made it in the whole family' is ungrammatical; correct to 'that the whole family makes together' to show passive/active family involvement and proper verb placement.
× Yes, like I said I prefer porridge when I was young, but as the time goes on I like crispy food bags now as well as spicy food 'cause they are pretty different from porridge and give me a different sense.
✓ Yes, like I said, I preferred porridge when I was young, but as time goes on I like crispy snacks now as well as spicy foods because they are quite different from porridge and give me a different feeling.
Tense consistency: 'when I was young' requires past 'preferred' not present 'prefer'. 'As the time goes on' should be 'as time goes on' (idiomatic). 'Crispy food bags' is incorrect phrasing; likely 'crispy snacks'. Use 'spicy foods' plural. Avoid informal colloquial 'cause' in formal correction; use 'because'. 'Different sense' is vague; use 'different feeling'. Ensure verbs match subjects and tenses are consistent.
