The most recent thing learning lojban has made me more aware of is the 
English pattern:
... do you want to ...

Examples for review:

What type of food do you want to eat?
do djica lo ma cidja

What do you want to eat?
pei citka ma

Where do you want to eat?
pei citka tu'i ma

When do you want to leave?
pei cliva ca ma

How do you want to get there?
pei klama fo ma

Why do you want to take that street?
do zmanei zo'e ki'u ma

Who do you want to pick up first?
???

--

Does {pei} work in these examples to indicate we are interested in their 
preference?

Does {lo ma cidja} work for asking 'what type of food'?

--

e'o do jarco lo cfila .ije stidi zo'e

a'o
