What was the first meal your partner made you?

Inspired by the thread on AIBU regarding a meal cooked by a woman's date I wondered what was the first meal your partner made for you.

Mine cooked a pre made (albeit finest range) lasagne, with salad and ciabatta. He used balsamic vinegar as dressing, that I also remember.

I dont think he even made a proper home made lasagne until we lived together but I still appreciated the effort.

Tuna pasta bake. It was his 'signature' dish. It was his only dish. I'm not terribly fond of tuna.

25 years down the line and he does a lot more cooking than he did.

he has made us pasta in the past, but I am the better cook so we agreed when we started seeing each other that I will do the cooking but he washes fries and puts away. It works very well. I also enjoy cooking so it’s not a chore for me.

He had stayed over for the first time. I woke up to the smell of bacon. He’d nipped out and bought bacon and eggs. Breakfast in bed. He was a keeper for sure lol

Fray Bentos pie, mash, peas & gravy-this was in the 80’s and he was a
penniless student.

Thank goodness his cooking skills have improved but if he could get away with it, he’d still eat a Fray Bentos!

It was a Greek dish, aubergine stuffed with lamb mince and then grilled cheese on top and a salad. I can’t remember what dessert was.

Steak, garlic potatoes and salad.
