A mi me gustan con casi todo. Lo unico que no me gusta son los jalapinos. Me parecen demasiado picantes.

"Es mucho para uno" ...

En inglés existe la frase: All for one and one for all.

Tonylouis,

Esta frase no es de origen Inglés,  que es de origen Frances y por Alexandre Dumas, padre, en su novela "Los Tres Mosqueteros"

Well you have to share if you leave something, in my case I never, so you are forced to share with me.

And for the addition on the nachos I use the same I ask for my sandwishes, rice or anything, I use the phrase: Put everything in it.

The phrase "Si, es mucho para uno", uno appears to be referring to "una persona", which is femine.  Why is "una" not used here?

Hello rmusselwhite!

'Uno' is the correct form in this case. I would explain it two ways. In the dialogue, 'uno' seems to function as a noun instead of as an adjective. Otherwise where unclear, the masculine is used. Pretty sexist, right?

Carmen,

The indeterminate form is used, if it had really been important they would have said SHE.

There is no exclusive male tense like there is female tense.

she zche.

Cobre,

¡Hola! It sounds like we are making the same point. For newbies, it's easy to learn Spanish verb forms along gendered lines. There are other ways to describe the grammar; they all work.
