It's "What Do You Want to Eat?' Tuesday MKF

[Katharyn]

Hey all, it has been an age since I created a thread, let alone the daily one - so I hope no one beats me to posting it*S*

This one came from a chat with Xita and she seemed to think it was a good idea, so all credit to Miss Moderator Fantastico.

So... the question. What was the meal that you had with your current/last partner/SO/lover/spouse before you first reached that "special intimate moment" for the first time with them? (see how delicate I can be?!)

Okay... so that assumes that any of you stopped to eat*S* and I suppose it need not be immediately before - but if you were to recreate the moment one evening... what would you be eating first? (careful how you answer that.)

Me... well it was a fondue, you know that melted cheese, cider mix eaten with bread, vegetables etc. It always has a significance for me now and I can say without much fear of contradiction that if fondue is on the menu then something else usually is too*S*

And of course, what do you think it was for Willow and Tara? Sassy eggs? Pancakes... obvious choices. Do you think that they cooked a meal for each other? What would it have been? (As I personally doubt that they went out before they reached that point.)

So... I will post this and see if anyone else has created another Tuesday thread already*S*

Popcorn. Or organic strawberries, Im not sure. The popcorns a bitch, I tell you! Gets into [i:0ac0b07f8d] everywhere![/i:0ac0b07f8d]

Err whats fondue?

[mscheckmate]

Linguine with clam sauce.

I shouldn't tell you all this, but it was our first date. It wasn't a blind date; we'd known each other for several months by the time we actually went out officially. I mean, it's not like I'm easy or anything.

Not usually, anyway.

As for Willow and Tara? Probably starchy dorm food. But carb-loading is good if you're anticipating some serious exertion.

Oh. God. scarry much?

[Katharyn]

Mrs Vertigo - Popcorn... that's great*S* I am not a fan of it myself but strawberries are good too*S*

mscheckmate - no need to explain (even with the clam sauce*S*) I too was someone who knew my love for a long time before there was an official date and once it was official... then it was moving pretty quick to fondue.*S*

What's scary? The pasta or the clams?

It was an excellent meal, actually. And I didn't know at the time that I was going to be doing anything other than dinner.

[WillowzHeartbreak]

Hmmm...I fed her pecan pie while straddling her.


Ah, the memories...that was some great pie we shared....

[kyraroc]

Mrs. Vertigo, fondue is kind of a gourmet melted dip usually made with either cheese or chocolate.

My sweetie and I went to an Ethiopian restaurant. No silverware = a fun time had

I think Willow and Tara skipped the dinner and went straight to the dessert.

[Elianna]

To elaborate on what Kyraroc said, you usually dip something into the concoction. If it's cheese, you usually dip toasted bread. Chocolate, pieces of fruit (my favorite being strawberries).

There's also savory fondu, with meat, but I won't go into that. Personally, I don't like it (I'm suspicious of any meat that might even hint at being undercooked).

And the question? I don't know if I should admit this, but beer, and Jack Daniels. And I seem to remember a dorm barbecue before.

I'm not very romantic, am I?

-Elianna

[Mrs Vertigo]

Chocolate? Cheese? So whats with the clam talk? Im sorry, I just watched The Little Mermaid a few times more than what was good for me and ended up with seafood phobia. Im mortally afraid of seafood. I actually change colors when offered to eat it. Well, that and pumpkins. *shudders* god, pumpkins and clams. The horror.

[tommo]

I have really fond memories of fondue. Cheesy and chocolately goodness. Just yum.

However, I'm afraid that my own personal uh...[i:10055518d1] moment[/i:10055518d1] wasn't that romantic. Pie and chips seems to be the order of the day, heh. Yes I know, I really do show a girl a good time.

Well, actually, that came [b:10055518d1] after[/b:10055518d1] the pie and chips.

[walker(d)]

If I'm honest I'll have to say alcohol and not much else. We skipped a whole bunch of steps at the start. I like to put it down to over enthusiasm, and if you ever saw my ex you wouldn't blame me one bit.

We did, however, go back and do a lot of stuff we should have done initially.

For me it would be carbonara followed by ice cream. Fun day. I got absolutely soaked that day. And by that I mean it was raining for those of you with your mind in the gutter.

Edited to add - I'm going on holiday to Amsterdam on Friday and I was wondering if any Kittens could offer me any advice on any Gay/Lesbian type places there. Or just anything to do there that's fun. Thanks in advance.

[Katharyn]

Cheese fondue is great on the night... the congealed leftovers grilled on toast the next day... well they call it congealed for a reason*S*

And Ruth... Pie and Chips worked for me too... with the only other person before the fondue*s* Pie and Chips in the shelter overlooking the bowling green in Filey.

[b:677868c616]Cheap[/b:677868c616] weekends away are sort of essential when you living at home, looking for some privacy and have no money. Not our first time... but the distinction of being alone (no one goes to Filey in winter!) was important so it seemed like it.

I forget the name of the hotel... and I would not recommend the chip shop at all.

Fondue was better.

[Tulipp]

Can I remember that far back? Oh my. I remember that on our first date it was carrot cake.

I remember that before our first kiss there were shocking quantities of cheap beer in a total dive in West Philadelphia.

And I distinctinctly remember eating bagels...the next morning.

I guess it's obvious that I took things kind of slow.

[Puff]

It was either fish and chips or pizza...my that makes me sound romantic. However I have fond memories of Italian food since then

[Sassette]

Huh.

Y'know - I haven't got a clue. I'm not even remotely close to remembering what I had for dinner. I think there's something wrong with my brain - I should get it looked at.

-Sass
Surprised she remembers how to get to work every morning

[Caoilin]

I can't remember either, Sass. I'm completely drawing a blank.

I remember the hot tub though.

[Amaranthcat]

Sadly, I can't remember. I don't remember our first time at all. But I can happily report that we went out to a local Indian restaurant the night of our first kiss, which was lovely despite garlic-nan-breath. I now have a soft spot for paneer. And mango lassis.

Willow and Tara -- well, since it would have been in the dorms, I'm going to go with the dorm standard, pizza. But I hope it was at least some nice gourmet-type pizza with really good veggies and cheeses, not just Dominos pepperoni or something.

[ChibiWillowR]

This may be odd but, Chicken Tenders and Steak

[tommo]

It was fish and chips, Puff. From Bredbury Fish Bar. That hallowed ground.

[Tulipp]

Oh my. Do I even want to know?

[girlofp]

Maybe some quality Ramen Noodles for Willow and Tara... or maybe Chinese Food, that's a big dorm food too. But pizza is probably the best guess. For me it was probably some type of fast food on the way home or a hotdog/hamburger from the softball game we went too. And the first offical date, well that was Taco Bell.. haha.. I still have the receipt. That was oh so romantic.. ha.. We have upgraded since becoming an 'offical' couple!

Well, actually, that came after the pie and chips.

[/quote:93663b7913]

I'm sorry. Who came after the pie and chips?

[theatremouse]

ummmm.... mine was blue corn chips....... somehow mocking the incredibly uncrunchy-notdykey and presenting organic food is a grand seduction tool......but that was just a brief affair, with an actual person i was in a relationship, i feel bad, but it was a ton of liquor, and girl scout cookies.

Wow, Caoilin...you were in a hot tub with Sass? Lucky girl!

As for myself...y'know, I can't remember either! I don't think the date included a meal...we probably had coffee, or Cokes...or kamikazes or something Oh wait--was it cheesesteaks? Oh, bugger my memory. Nevermind.

~Novelty

[Sassette]

*G* Well, really, I'll jump into a hot tub with anybody.

And I think my difficulty in answering this particular question arises from the fact that every time I think I'm close to remembering, 'chicken casserole' jumps into my brain. I hate it when that happens.

-Sass

[kpmuse]

It was linguini and clam sauce for us too [b:2eb0758049] mscheckmate[/b:2eb0758049] Well, the first attempt anyway . I inadvertantly added way too much black pepper to the sauce, and nearly burned the poor girl's tongue off

The second attempt we went to eat sushi at our favorite restaurant. We fed each other with our fingers gazing deeply into each others eyes. We bee lined it outta there pretty quickly! What a time we had

[relativegirl]

Hmm, that was a great meal. Not sure what [i:c633be6549] I[/i:c633be6549] had to eat, but it was a great meal. Perfect beginning to a perfect weekend.

From which I learned the following tips which I pass along to W/T, my sister Californians, in case they ever want to create some new memories on a getaway weekend:

1. pick a restaurant that's right on the beach (ideally in San Diego County).

2. pick a table right next to the window so you can watch the waves roll in at night while you dine.

3. come prepared to pick a new wine to share b/c it will always remain special for you. i recommend an Austrailian Shiraz. Yum.

4. if the woman you're with is quasi-orthodox and surprises you by ordering lobster, there are other Jewish taboos that will be falling by the wayside later that night.

5. cap off your meal with a long walk on the beach (note to self: next time, remember to move out of the line of vision of the other diners before moving in for dessert smoochies)

6. pick a hotel with a seaside room overlooking a marina. waking up together and looking out at the sun bouncing off the water and the sailboats is both memorable and wonderful. and so worth spending the extra money.

7. for breakfast, pick a restaurant on the beach. as dining by the ocean seems to have certain inevitable intimate consequences, try to leave enough time so that you don't have to rush off like maniacs to make it to Qualcomm Stadium just in time for the kickoff of the Broncos-Chargers game.

8. make sure your team wins, 21-7.

hmm, i don't remember what i had to eat the night before, but i remember the score of the Bronco game. that's scary.

Funny...but I would tend to regard this as an endearing quality...

a bowl of cherries and most of the bottle of red wine we were supposed to be SHARING, which resulted in a not-so-romantic rush to the bathroom. the "special intimate moment" ended up being postponed to the next morning, when I woke up hungover, but extremely horny. And then we went out for omlettes after a nice shower
