Top 10 Sexy Date Dishes

We’ll start the list with the thick juicy hunk of meat. Ordering a steak might seem boring, but don’t be fooled. A steak is sizzle and spice and everything nice. Plus, it’s not what you eat, but how you eat it. Feeling a little faint? Set down your fork and knife and allow your partner to do the honors while you passionately gaze into each other’s souls. Being catered to isn’t your cup of tea? Then flare it up and show off your cutting skills when handling the meat. To raise the stakes – pun intended – show off your wine pairing skills by ordering a bottle of red. A killer combo every time.

Ever wondered why the Greeks are considered some of the world’s most romantic people? Seeing as how Greece is the one of the biggest producers of olives, it’s time to admit that you are what you eat. Olives are considered as one of the healthiest foods around, and they symbolize power and fertility. But these tiny fellas have had a long history of being an aphrodisiac. And not only because pretty much any food that can be finger-fed is an automatic turn-on. Just stay tuned for the flavor of love to kick in when the moment comes.

Seafood is your best friend when it comes to triggering those sex hormones. Generally, it can be quite expensive, but just because you’re on a tight budget doesn’t mean you can’t rock the night. Just as there are plenty of shrimp in the sea; there are plenty of reasonably priced seafood dishes. Or you can be the straight arrow and order a shrimp cocktail. Shrimps are known for being rich in iodine that helps your thyroid gland provide the energy you need, but it also improves the skin, hair and – of course – your sex drive.

Top 10 Date Dishes To Avoid

We find ourselves being naughty with our food from time to time and what better way to do that than by ordering an ice cream? A choice that was also found on our Top 10 Worst Date Dishes, ice cream can be a tricky option – but it all depends on how you want to represent yourself, and on how you eat it. Foods that appear erotic can unleash the beast within you. Simple novelty items like popsicles or a lollipop can also be sexy, but choose your flavors wisely because you don’t want to end up with a green tongue. Don’t worry if you’re diet-conscious, because a Go-Gurt is all you need.

Let your imagination run wild when you split open a ficus carica (FEE-koos kah-ree-kah). This aphrodisiac is enriched with manganese, magnesium, antioxidants, fiber, potassium and flavonoids. For many years figs were considered one of the fruits that helped arouse sexual desire, and now you’ll find them anywhere from appetizers to cocktails. Dried figs can be found all year-round, but finding a restaurant that serves fresh figs can be difficult since there are only two seasons for the fruit. With plenty of simple fresh fig recipes to be made at your place in no time, such as the fig bruschetta, bacon wrapped figs, or a fig pizza, this is a no-brainer choice for a sexy dish.

Remember back in high school how you could go from being the loner to the cool kid by bringing Lunchables? Some things never change. The classic French food known as charcuterie can be presented with such simple elegance that’ll impress everyone around you. Typically consisting of prepared meats but now coming to include a wide selection of meats, cheeses, spreads, and breads, this dish will make you feel like you’re in Paris (say it the French way). Toss some olives and fresh figs on the side, and serve with a bottle of champagne to ramp up the mood. Due to the simplicity of charcuterie, you’ll have more time to interact with your partner – or you can build a tower of cheese.

To all the people that complain how sushi is overrated and boring, try ordering something other than a California Roll. Going to an exotic restaurant can make you feel vulnerable where you’ll naturally seek comfort from your partner. What’s also great about sushi is the variety of options to choose from, many of which are not only savory but also visually artistic. Choose your colorful fish from a conveyor belt or have it sailed to you on a boat. Whether or not you want to go raw, everything about sushi is sensual. Also, it’s a great dish to feed each other, as long as you don’t dab on too much of wasabi.

There’s no other date dish that’s as suggestive as fresh oysters. The minute your mention them, each of you will know what’s on the other’s mind. When you think of edible aphrodisiacs, there’s a good chance it’s one of the first things to come to mind – and not just because of its suggestive look. In fact, that may’ve been thanks to an old wives’ tale; but recent scientific research has shown oysters are not only nutritious, but are indeed rich with amino acids and zinc that fire up your sex hormones. Famed lover Casanova wrote in his memoir that he ate 50 oysters each morning, so who are we to argue with the master?

Whipped cream is like the duct tape of food; it can go with anything and always get the job done. Foods like waffles, puddings, or even a strawberry milkshake will bring all the boys to the yard when topped with whipped cream. Speaking of strawberries, this heart-shaped fruit is the perfect match to be dipped in whipped cream. Depending on the stage of your relationship, feel free to experiment with the famed whipped cream bikini. Whatever you do, get creative: this is one time you should play with your food. Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions: - Asparagus - Caviar - Pizza

A dish that encourages its eaters to share and have fun with their meal, fondue comes in a variety of flavors, but whether it’s a gooey pot of melted cheese, or you’re cooking thinly sliced meats in a broth, or you’re dipping any number of different fruits into some delectable melted chocolate, you are sure to be spoiling your taste buds. We think chocolate fondue – or anything remotely chocolaty – is especially romantic, as chocolate is the food of love. Pair it with a fruit platter featuring peaches, fresh figs, apples, and strawberries, and you’ve got a tasty and passionate treat that you can feed each other. With the firelight giving off an air of amorousness, the aroma of melted chocolate wafting through the air and the taste of cocoa on your tongue, love is bound to blossom. Do you agree with our list?
