Worst and best foods to eat on a first date

An American humorist once said that “You are what you eat. For example, if you eat garlic, you’re apt to be a hermit.”. Food is present on most dates, mostly as an excuse to sit down and get to know someone better, but there are do’s and don’ts in what concerns food and this is a list of them:

The worst

1. The onion genus

The onion genus include garlic, shallot, leek and chive and despite the fact that the food cooked with this vegetables is very tasty, you should avoid the dishes seasoned with them if you want to receive a good night kiss.

2. Fish and fries with extra tartar sauce

If you order a meal with a lot of calories, you are telling your date that you do not care about your health. If you really want shrimps, order a side salad next to it and dip the crustaceans in cocktail sauce.

3. Lobster

It is obvious that fresh lobster is very tasty, but try avoiding it on a first date because they tend to be a little bit messy and will leave you a smell of fish for the rest of the evening.

The best

1. Tapas

Sharing some tapas is a great way to break the ice on a first date and get to know her better. It is also a good way to see how open-minded or picky your date is. You can try cheese plates, ceviche, olive assortment, beef, chicken skewers, potato omelet, mussels and calamari.

2. Natural products

Many restaurants are buying their products directly from local farmers. You can try to take your date to a farm-to-table restaurant if you want to impress her, because the food is not only amazing but you are also supporting your community.

3. Home-cooked tacos

You can make margaritas and fresh sauté for a taco dinner. You can spread toppings such as lettuce, tomato, shredded cheese, sour cream, fresh avocado, but you must avoid beans and onions.

When you are not in a comfortable relationship, it is best to know what to order on and what not to on a first date.
