What's required here?

What's wrong my solution?.. I am not sure what is required here?

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

Hint: fill in the argument for the "format" call, but don't change anything else in the provided code.

Ah OK I did it thanks to your hint... so I just needed to unpack the dictionary when calling format and that's it.. I thought I should also modify the favourite_food() definition
