I am not sure what to do because I thought I had unpacked a dictionary but obviously I didn't. I am a bit confused
def favorite_food(dict):
if dict:
return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format()
else:
print("Hi what is ur name and what food would you like to eat?")
favorite_food(**{"dict": {"name": "Kenneth", "food": "tacos"}})

def favorite_food(dict):
return "Hi, I'm {name} and I love to eat {food}!".format(**dict)
