I'm sure we can have a 'berks date' disco thread.
Also - and without being crass, if you are hoping you might lock-lips with TC at any point, then maybe avoid onions and garlic?

Nah, if they both eat the same thing,
then neither will smell it.

But onions can repeat a bit.
That won't be nice if they are trying to tickle tonsils.

Shallots in thai green curry
and not even much of them.

It would be worth finding out if there are are food stuffs TC doesn't like.
Don't ask him what his favourite is, as it'll probably be something either he cooks 'the way he likes it' or it'll be something he orders in restaurants and that'll be difficult to match. But get a rough idea from him.

I am doing, right this very moment as it happens
he's not being very helpful. But he did say he'll eat just about anything, which is nice, because the ex was fussy as hell.

Otherwise, just make a nice chili.
And serve it in a large bowl, allowing you both to take as much or as little as you like.

It avoids causing offense if the other person isn't too keen on it, and you can say, 'Oh my, I've cooked loads!' in advance.

That is actually the other option
but I dunno, I thought it was a bit boring maybe.

...
that's a really good point. Damn. That's pretty much everything I make well, then...
Or I could just wait until after dessert?

Are you talking about music or 'snogging' now?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Mon 21 Mar 2011, 23:52, Reply)

Snogging.
boy is going to get pounced.

So what you cook is going to be double important then.
