C# Basics eat method

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Any idea why?

Program.cs 
using System;

class Program
{
    static string Eat(string first, string second)
    {
        Console.Write("I think {0} and {1} are tasty!", first, second);
        return Console.ReadLine();
    }

    static void Main()
    {
        Console.WriteLine(Eat("apples", "blueberries"));
        Console.WriteLine(Eat("carrots", "daikon"));
    }
}

You're not supposed to do any console operations in this method (write or read).. Instead, the method should return the formatted string.
