There's a notable pause - on the one hand, he knows some of what Romeo used to like, though they didn't eat together often. They'd both been chimney sweeps at the time, which naturally meant neither of them had gotten to eat much, let alone well.

On the other, it's not as if he doesn't know anything: "Most of our time together, we didn't get to make whole dishes. I know some specific foods - apples, cheese and bread - but not so much what ways of putting them together he liked best."

Clearly this means at least one dish should be danishes...
