thanks a lot!!! �My favourite food is chicken and potatoes" is written in a pupil �s book. That �s why I ask so easy and simple questions)) it is a mistake in a book. |

I don �t know ladzoya, it might mean, that my favorite food is a combination of chicken and potatoes, "food" is a generic, unspecific term. It could be plain wrong or it could just be vague. |

I have to agree with Annabelle about food. At least in the States, "food" can refer to a prepared dish. If "chicken and potatoes" refers to a stew or a casserole with both, I don �t see anything wrong with that.
You definitely need to use "colors/colours," however. Otherwise, your favorite color is purple.
