Among the dishes we had tonight, which one do you like best? [my sentence]
-----
Me: Do both "do" and "did" work here?
Friend: Yes.
Me: "Do" means now while "did" means at that time. Is that right?
Friend: It can be that, or it can also be that the difference is negligible. A bit like “might” vs. “may” or “could” vs. “can”.
-----
I agree with them. However, I would also like to hear your opinions.
