I'm having a challenge of executing the code challenge, which I have tested in workspaces however, and is working
def favorite_food(name=None, food=None):
print("I'm {} and I love to eat {}!".format(name,food))

The function in the challenge takes a single dictionary argument, and the challenge is going to pass it a single dictionary argument when it tests it.
Your task is to use that dictionary to create the proper output. Don't change the "def" line!

3,032 Points[EDIT:] original"Hi Steven Parker, could you elaborate. I'm stuck too. do we need to use dict{something something} in the format line? the 'def' line contains only dict in the arguments..."
i worked it out!!!! the question doesnt inform you that it will pass its own values in and simply use your function. leave the original line 1 unchanged, then in the format, unpack "dict". HINT: **
