There is a big connection between food and romance and even the erotic. I remember a scene in the movie 9 ½ Weeks, where the couple found fun in the contents of the refrigerator. Like a good read, The Lover’s Cook Book has some interesting ideas too. There are so many references to the aphrodisiac quality of some foods, oysters, asparagus, strawberries, chocolate, even chili peppers.
For me, a special meal would be a filet of salmon, poached in white wine, with a Mary-Rose and shrimp sauce, served with mange tout, and baby sweetcorn.
What are your favorite foods, when it comes to that romantic dinner for two, or maybe three? I would love to hear your food stories, any really good ones, funny ones, or any real disasters you would like to share. Any good recipes you would like to share with us?
As always I would love to hear your thoughts and comments on the blog, Facebook, or twitter.
