How to return this callback?

So I'm having an issue with the syntax to return the callback. I've tried callback(meal); cb(meal); makeMeal(cb);

Any thoughts as I know the callback may be anonymous.

I assume you're referring to this quiz question: "Set the makeMeal function to invoke the callback function passed to it.".

We don't want to "return" the callback here, they're just asking us to call the callback. And they're not asking is to call it with any arguments in this case, just to call it. So all we need is cb();
