× My favorite food right now is uh, Curry rice with some chickens, but if I can go back to Nepal I would love to have Nevada dishes.
✓ My favorite food right now is curry rice with some chicken, but if I could go back to Nepal I would love to have Nepali dishes.
Use singular uncountable form 'chicken' when referring to the meat in a dish rather than 'chickens' (which refers to whole animals). 'Curry rice' should be lowercase and 'Nevada dishes' is likely incorrect; context implies 'Nepali dishes' (dishes from Nepal). Also use 'could' for hypothetical past/future possibility after 'if' in this context ('if I could go back'). Suggestion: Treat meat as uncountable (chicken), use correct demonym 'Nepali', and use 'could' for hypothetical condition.
× What kind of food did you like when you were young?
✓ What kind of food did you like when you were young?
This sentence is correct; no change needed. It correctly uses past tense 'did you like' to ask about preferences in childhood.
× While I was young, I would love to have ice creams because at that age everybody loves those kind of product.
✓ When I was young, I loved to have ice cream because at that age everybody loved that kind of product.
Using 'would' and 'would love' is inappropriate for a habitual past preference in this context; use simple past 'loved'. 'Ice cream' is an uncountable noun when referring to the food in general, so use singular 'ice cream' not 'ice creams'. 'Those kind of product' is incorrect: 'that kind of product' (singular demonstrative with singular 'kind') or better 'that kind of food'. Suggestion: Use simple past for past habits, use 'ice cream' as uncountable, and match 'that/ those' with 'kind' properly.
× But usually I would have rice and Curry.
✓ But usually I had rice and curry.
For habitual actions in the past, use simple past 'had' rather than 'would have' in casual narration. 'Curry' should be lowercase. 'Would have' can be used but sounds conditional; 'had' is clearer for past routines. Suggestion: Use simple past for past routines and lowercase common nouns.
× Yeah, I live in Nepal, so we all ate the vegetable that we grow ourselves so.
✓ Yeah, I live in Nepal, so we all eat the vegetables that we grow ourselves.
Mixes present tense 'live' with past tense 'ate'. Because the speaker lives in Nepal now, use present 'eat'. 'Vegetable' should be plural 'vegetables' when referring generally, and remove redundant 'so' at the end. Also 'that we grow ourselves' matches present tense. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent (present), pluralize general countable nouns.
× We ate those kind of vegetable which grows on that season, so that makes a variety.
✓ We eat those kinds of vegetables that grow in that season, so that creates variety.
Tense and agreement errors: change 'ate' to 'eat' to match present context. 'Those kind' should be 'those kinds' or 'that kind'; with 'those' use 'kinds'. 'Vegetable' should be plural 'vegetables'. 'Which grows' should be 'that grow' to agree with plural 'vegetables'. Use 'in that season' for common collocation rather than 'on'. 'Creates variety' or 'gives variety' is better than 'makes a variety'. Suggestion: Match plural forms and subject-verb agreement, and use correct preposition 'in' for seasons.
× Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
✓ Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
This question is correct; it properly uses present perfect 'has changed' to ask about a change from past to present.
× When I was a child, I used to hear the smell of goat meat, but nowadays my favorite meal is a goat Curry.
✓ When I was a child, I used to smell goat meat cooking, but nowadays my favorite meal is goat curry.
'Hear the smell' is incorrect because smell is perceived with 'smell' not 'hear'. Use 'used to smell' for a habitual past perception. 'Goat Curry' should be lowercase 'goat curry' and omit extra article 'a' when referring to the meal type: 'my favorite meal is goat curry' or 'a goat curry' only if referring to a specific dish. Also 'goat meat' vs 'goat curry' consistency: 'smell of goat meat cooking' is clearer. Suggestion: Use correct sensory verb 'smell', maintain tense with 'used to', and use lowercase for common nouns.
× This kind of food makes a special moment in my life.
✓ This kind of food creates special moments in my life.
'Makes a special moment' is an awkward collocation. Use 'creates special moments' or 'has made special memories' depending on intended meaning. Plural 'moments' fits general statement; if referring to a single event, 'created a special moment' (past) would be used. Match tense and plurality to intended meaning. Suggestion: Use natural collocations like 'creates special moments' or 'has created special memories'.
