Should this noun and verb be switched in this question??

Question

I'm trying to say "What food is eaten by the "Guachos?" (cowboys - it's a vocab word I have to use) I believe this would be translated as "¿Qué comida es comido por los guachos?" But I'm not sure if comida and comido should be switched. Also, wouldn't "comen" be the better usage, instead of "comido"? Muy Gracias!

Oops! I figured it out! I meant to say "¿Qué comen los gauchos?" Please ignore this question unless you have any extra comments :) ( I'm not aware if you can close a thread, but I'm done here ;) ) - Unknownartist345, Nov 26, 2014

Answer 1

You corrected yourself very well, since the passive voice much rarer in Spanish than it is in English. The only other thing is that it's actually said muchas gracias, muy is for adjectives and adverbs

which doesn't mean it is incorrect, to use the passive... ;) - chileno, Nov 26, 2014

Answer 2

@Diagonx: Thank you for your reply, I won't make the "muchos gracias" mistake again. X3 Also, I appreciate your help with the "comen"and "Comida"contraversy, there are some things they just don't explain in the lessons at my school. )
