Is there a food or drink you only ever crave in certain weather?

A natural way to answer

Yes, hot chocolate is a winter thing for me. When it's cold and grey, I'm always in the mood for something warm and comforting. In summer, though, I go off hot drinks completely and switch to iced ones.

Key phrases to use

  • in the mood for — feeling that you would like to have or do something right now“I'm in the mood for something hot and spicy.”
  • go off — stop liking something you used to enjoy“I've gone off coffee lately.”
