http://chixe.com/notes/ Chixe Thread: Good Date Food en Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:35:56 +0000 http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3858 Tue, 10 Oct 2006 00:29:11 conficio 3858 <p>There are three ways to make good dating food:</p> <ol> <li>Self made (tasting good)</li> <li>What your date likes</li> <li>What you can safely feed to your date (nice bites, not drips, ...)</li> </ol> <p>I'd stay away from anything that is messy. No spaghetti sauce on my shirt. </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3854 Tue, 10 Oct 2006 00:01:48 phantomdata 3854 <p>@Chris: If you want your date to go even better, be sure to use a DM Screen. Bonus points if it involves THACO. </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3822 Mon, 09 Oct 2006 07:03:51 isdereks 3822 <p>Sushi or dim sum.. No questions asked. The only food choices which will allow you to safely make a fool / mess of yourself blaming it on your lack of chopstick handling skills. </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3807 Sun, 08 Oct 2006 15:13:38 LondonGirl 3807 <p>I think Karamatosed is along the right lines - things you can share are definitely the way forward. And a relaxed setting. </p> <p>Personally I'd vote for tapas or dim sum. Tapas of course has the advantage that you don't need to be any good with chopsticks and therefore don't run the risk of dropping it down your top. Flaw of tapas is usually the garlic content... </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3767 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 23:27:45 chris 3767 <p>Just put a privacy screen in the middle of the table and have all the delicious, messy food you want! </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3765 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 23:20:07 tanyapt 3765 <p>Foods to avoid: chicken wings - hard to look cute tearing into those. Salad - I think should be avoided too - get the damn thing on the fork - chew * chomp * chew.</p> <p>Best thing: Soup (as long as the guys don't slurp it :0) and any boneless meat! </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3735 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 02:35:18 phantomdata 3735 <p>Sushi does have a rather negative effect on your breath though; with or without the Gari. I think straight up Japanese is good though. Almost always guaranteed to be "chopsticks" food , beautiful and memorable. Show me the way to Beef Batayaki! </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3733 Fri, 06 Oct 2006 01:58:49 JPhill 3733 <p>fried chicken smothered in hot sauce!! </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3722 Thu, 05 Oct 2006 22:36:07 chris 3722 <p>Baby back ribs and soda from a troth. </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3717 Thu, 05 Oct 2006 22:02:18 karmatosed 3717 <p>Sushi is good, I also like roast veg, bread and various smaller dishes - comfort food you can eat together and pick a bit from each bowl is good. Chinese food is also good for this - an intimate chinese resturant and a nice table. </p> http://chixe.com/food/notes/503/p/1/#response-3711 Thu, 05 Oct 2006 21:37:34 Scrivs 3711 <p>I was wondering what you think some good date food is? In my opinion it is hard to top sushi because it is more of a social event and you can share the food, have fun, and talk without worrying about cutting your steak.</p> <p>Fondue works well also. Avoid fried chicken. </p>
