Cuando eras/era joven

"¿Qué tipo de comida comiste cuando eras joven?":good: (familiar)
"¿Qué tipo de comida comió (usted) cuando era joven?" (polite; saying "usted" is optional, and it is generally left out most of the time once the conversation has started, unless you're also talking about other people and need to avoid confusion.)

And "do you still like the same kind of food"...

"¿Aún te gusta el mismo tipo de comida?":good: (familiar)
"¿Aún le gusta (a usted) el mismo tipo de comida?" (polite; habits of saying/omitting "a usted" to clarify the indirect object pronoun 'le' is the same as with 'usted' as the subject)

Thanks!
