Ron: Do you like any side things like french fries with your hamburger?

Ron: Sounds good. So before you said you like to eat a salad. What type of salad, what type of vegetables do you like?
 
Mari: I like all vegetables. I like them cooked or raw 5 but I don't like raw onions.
 
Ron: Not raw onions.
 
Mari: I really can't eat onions raw. That's probably the only vegetable I can't eat raw.
 
Ron: That's interesting. Thanks Mari.
