Sweet or savoury food?

Here's what people in London said:

Man 1: I think I prefer savoury, when I was younger I ate sweet things, and

I think I prefer savoury things when I'm older. There's more varieties I

think, more varieties in savoury things than sweet things.

Man 2: Sweet food, I like sweet things, cakes and also fruits, like mangos

and pineapples.

Woman 1: I prefer savoury food during the day, but from time to time I

have a craving I think, because my body demands some sugar rush, but

other than that it's savoury.

Man 3: Sweet food, it's more fun! Brighter colours, more flavours!

Woman 4: I definitely prefer sweet food. I do sometimes end up overdosing

on sweet food and needing to have something savoury. But the majority of

the time I like sweet food.

Now tell us what you think!
