What’s your favourite dish? It’s a pretty simple question to answer. Just like Manchester United’s Anthony Martial, we enjoy a good Wetherspoons curry, or maybe a Sunday Roast with all the trimmings. But when singer Demi Lovato was asked the question, she gave a response that’s either pure genius or genuinely moronic.
