A: I can’t think of any but it’s not very natural to say I am eating food, it’s better to say I’m eating, when you say “I’m eating” it implies that you are eating food. You only say what you are eating if it’s an specific food, like “I’m eating potatoes”. Or if you are trying to say things like “I don’t eat food, I eat liars” which is figuratively speaking, or “I don’t eat lettuce I eat food” implying that you think lettuce is not a food. I don’t know if I’m making sense, if you have any questions please feel free to ask me :)

A: Good question!

"Food" is the item that is eaten. Bread, carrots, cheese, etc. "Look at all this food, we could eat here for days!"

A "meal" is all the food eaten at one time. It can also refer to the typical times of day that people eat (breakfast, lunch, dinner). "He made a meal fit for kings, with high quality meat, vegetables, and spices." / "Breakfast is her favorite meal of the day."

"Diet" means the overall pattern of what someone eats. "The bird's diet consists of nuts, fruit, insects, and seeds." / "She changed her diet to become vegan."

A: Cuisine is often associated with cultural/ traditional cooking.

Food is usually any substance thats edible.

A: They’re both grammatically correct and mean the same thing but most people would say at the supermarket.

A: "etc." is very common and natural in this situation, yes. In fact, I would say most of the time, that's what most people would use.

(Note that since it's an abbreviation (it's short for "et cetera", but pretty much nobody ever writes out the full phrase), the word "etc." technically should always have a period at the end of it (even when it's in the middle of a sentence). However, even many native speakers seem to dislike putting a period in the middle of a sentence like that, so it is often actually written without it anyway (as just "etc") these days too (so in reality, either way is acceptable).)

"and so on" or "and such" both also work, but tend to have a bit more formal feel to them.

A: Blow on it (first).

- it’s very hot. Blow on it first.
- it’s very hot. Make sure you blow on it before you eat it.

In reality, I don’t think I’d ever say this - I would demonstrate, or the children would already know they had to do this if I said the food was hot. If I was giving hot food to someone to taste, I would just warn them “hot”, or sometimes, “blow”.

A: Yes, the information would have to precede it. “That” in this specific circumstance refers to something already mentioned.

A is the correct one, which might be used in verbal conversation or the stylized prose of a book or article. B wouldn’t work by itself, likely because it has nothing before it to refer to.

A: Nothing is wrong but it sounds a little bit robotic.
