3) What's your favourite meat? Why?
4) What poultry do you usually eat at Christmas? Is it your favourite?
5) And what's your favourite fish? Why?
6) What about your favourite shellfish/seafood? Why?
7) How often do you eat fish? Do you think it's enough? 
8) Do you like eggs? How many eggs a week you have? How do you cook them?
9) Have you ever tasted any special meat or fish?  (e.g.: from foreign species, such as the kangaroo  meat in Europe)
  Where? Did you like it? Any reasons why or why not?
10) Which meat or fish you don't like or hate and why?
