What's for dinner?

We're going to visit Great Grandpa and Grandma Snow just before Eli's birthday and Grandma sweetly offered to make Eli's favorite for dinner. Which brought me to having a very interesting conversation with an almost 3 year old about what he likes to eat....

Me: Great Grandma wants to make you something special for dinner when we visit. Can you think of something you would like to eat?
Eli: Ummm, tandy! (candy)
M: No not candy, silly! Something for dinner.
E: Booberries! (blueberries)
M: I was thinking more like dinner food. What kind of food do you like to eat?
E: Tookies! (cookies)
M: Let's try this again. Would you like something like lasagna, or pizza or hamburgers (all his favorites).
E: Yeah!
M: Ok, which one do you like the best?
E: Yiddle amburger (little hamburger) and fench fies with YOTS of dip-dip (translate-little hamburgers with french fries and lots of ketchup!)
