food preferences
What you like
Food preferences are the particular foods, flavors, or eating patterns a person favors or avoids.
The term covers everything from liking spicy food to avoiding gluten, whether by choice, culture, or biology.
The restaurant can accommodate various food preferences.
Unlike dietary restrictions, preferences imply flexibility—what you'd rather eat, not what you must or cannot.
