Candlelit Dinner for two ideas please

[fairyfly]

I've just sent him and invitation to be at mine for 7 on tuesday. Any ideas for food that will really show him i care?

[fairyfly]

A sensual feast

[fairyfly]

No, complete opposite, boy food, likes tuna, red meat

[suzywong]

how about hair-pie and muff mousse?

[ImuststopdrinkingBlossomhill]

A steak always goes down well IMO

A starter of Prawn cocktail. Steak, chips, peas and mushrooms and for desert profiterols (sp?) Classic but I think most men like that kind of food.

I would love asparagus but he hates it, he calls it girl food as he is a child. Steak, definately, but do i really have to do chips? Need a good starter now, no eafood, fish, only likes tuna. Sexy desert. He is bringing the champagne.

[fairyfly]

how do you make champagne sorbet, sounds very horny in my opinion,
no fosh smell he may think its me

[suzywong]

he's got a point FF, asparagus does make your pee smell worse

what about thai fish cakes for starters, made with tuna, I just happen to have a rather good recipe

[fairyfly]

He tells me mushrooms are like spunk, i have not dug any further with the reason he knows this

Steak, but what do you do and what do you serve with?

[fairyfly]

Oh yes delightful suzywong, he has returned as you know from thailand so they have to be shit hot

[suzywong]

with baked potatoes, grilled tomato and green beans and mustard

[fairyfly]

Is that good? do i make a sauce?

[MancMum]

ribs are a good sexy meal - lots of finger licking etc... and then chocolate fondue with strawberries for after.... don't want too many carbs as they will make you slump too early!!

Cava is a great light drink to serve with it

[fairyfly]

Wow i have a fodue and never used it, that is the one, thankyou so much, keep them coming

I know sobernow, i think ill just not wash till then and provide the aroma myslef

[suzywong]

ph yes ribs are a great idea, get the ready marinaded from tesco

[fairyfly]

so ribs for a starter, or thai fish cakes?

or ribs for main and what with, i am simple, need all of this spelling out for me

[MancMum]

if you like the idea of fondue, go for nigella one I have mentioned it before but it is divine melt a toblerone and add a small carton cream and lump of butter -- spear strawberries and marshmallows onto sticks, dip in and enjoy... you can add amoretto if you like it..

[suzywong]

ribs for main, corn cobs and potato wedges and a salad and fish cakes for starters

[SueW]

New potatoes? Or warm potato salad (new pots, mayo, chopped spring onions). Serve with side salad and good dressing.

Or rosemary roast/savoury potatoes - cut good roasting pots into 1" cubes, toss in olive oil and rosemary. Bake for around 45 mins.

Choc fondue for pud?

I'm not good on starters. DH is a meat and potatoes man and his favourite starter is prawns which you've already ruled out.
