There is a saying that goes something like this: love comes through the heart and passes through the stomach! The truth is that food is not only an integral part of our lives, but it also plays a great role in our romantic lives as well.
Think about it, we go on dates at restaurants. We cook inside the house as a date to show how much we care for someone, and when a couple starts living together, their meals are connected because most of the times they are shared!
So, it makes sense to argue that eating, and to be more exact food preferences, can be a common interest that unites two people together. After all, cooking together (or even singing together throughout the process of preparing a meal) is a great moment between two people in the beginning of their relationship.
To all the foodies out there, therefore, these questions might be a bit difficult to answer, (many hidden inner dilemmas might be revealed) but there is a point to it all!
So, let's choose between different cuisines and certain foods together and in the end, we will be able to reveal your next celeb hubby!
Let's start then!
Pick a food
For salad lovers, this is going to be a tough choice to make! On the one hand, we have the famous Caprese salad. Coming from Italy, this salad has one of the most refreshing and light tastes ever. On the other hand, we have the french tomato and green bean salad! Although it doesn't include any type of cheese, it's very tasteful as well. In the case that we can choose only one of the two, which one will it be?
Pick a food
Originating from Marseille, bouillabaisse is a traditional stew which includes seafood or fish depending on one's taste! Although it may seem a bit odd, it is without a doubt very delicious! Fritto misto, on the other hand, is a dish that belongs to the Italian cuisine. A plate full of seafood, usually sea crabs, shrimp and sometimes even cuttlefish, fritto misto has an exquisitely unique taste! Which one should we pick, if our choice would lead to the exclusion of the other?
Pick a food
A tripe quesadilla is a traditional Spanish food and is a great choice for spicy food lovers that have a more adventurous stomach! Bruschetta, of course, is a well known (and definitely favorite) Italian appetizer made with tomato, basil, crusty garlic bread and balsamic vinegar. If the garlic bread is even home made, then the end result is even more tasty since it has a better, creamy texture! If one of them had to go, however, which one would it be?
Pick a food
Chicken francaise is a famous Italian recipe that is very popular among the people of Rochester New York! For those that love sour flavors and white wine, this is a great recipe! Creamy chipotle chicken is a great recipe coming from Mexico! Definite favorite for those who love jalapeño peppers. Which one is the obvious choice?
Pick a food
One of the signature dishes of Italian cuisine, veal milanese is a main course of cotoletta. Served usually with risotto, this dish is an experience no one should miss out on! Milanesa, on the other hand, is a Spanish (and therefore more spicy) variation of veal milanese and it can be made out of every meat (depending on one's taste) or even eggplants (for those that are not big fans of meat)! If one had to go, which one will it be?
Pick a food
Originating from Bologna Italy, bolognese is one of the most tasty and famous dishes of the Italian cuisine! Although it's not a recipe that needs a lot of experience in cooking, bolognese has a very unique taste! On the other hand, meatball soup is a Spanish recipe, which is mostly served on its own. However, if we so desire, we can add noodles or rice depending on our taste. If one of them had to go which one would win?
Pick a food
Poblano is one type of chilli pepper that originates from Puebla, Mexico. It goes without saying, therefore, that the recipe stuffed poblano peppers is a spicy dish that for some is quite delicious (but for others it’s too much to bear)! On the other hand, French onion stuffed peppers is a recipe from France which even though is less adventurous, it’s also quite tasty! If we could only have one of these two recipes, which one would it be?
Pick a food
To all the cheese lovers out there, this one will be a little bit more difficult! If we had to choose between brie and mozzarella (and we can only have one of the two) which one would win? Brie is a famous French soft cheese that is made out of cow's milk, and mozzarella is an Italian cheese that traditionally comes from Southern Italy, and is made out of buffalo's milk! Which of two is the obvious winner after all?
Pick a food
Is there a person out there today that hasn't heard the French recipe Ratatouille? After the 2007 hit animation film by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios, there must have been a lot of people that were curious to try it! A simple yet quite amazing dish that perhaps the only recipe that can match it is guacamole! Guacamole is a great dip made primarily out of avocado! Made as spicy as one prefers, it is definitely a must at our tables! Which one wins?
Pick a food
Going at a more simple choice, we have a cheese quesadilla with a savory crepe! Both snacks are recipes that we love. It should be noted, that both of these recipes can become main dishes if we add more ingredients! Nonetheless, even with plain cheese, both quesadilla and savory crepes are very popular due to their simplicity. One Spanish, the other French and both incredibly delicious! If one of them had to go, however, which one is the obvious choice to keep?
Pick a food
While main courses and appetizers are great (everybody loves them so much that we don’t want to even deny it!), there is one thing that in a night out is quite essential! How many times have we gone out starving, and we have filled up on bread because the food hasn't been served yet? (too many, if we're being honest!). So if we had to choose between a panini and a baguette which one would be the winner in this particular dilemma?
Pick a food
Let's talk about our choices for breakfast for a minute! For those who love eating savory snacks in the morning, a recipe with eggs is the most obvious solution! A fritatta, for instance, is a dish from the Italian cuisine that is a perfect choice for breakfast for some people! Others, however, prefer a french omelette instead because even if it is very light (at least in taste), it’s very delicious! If one had to go, which one would win?
Pick a food
A taco is a recipe made with a corn or wheat tortilla. A very well known (and delicious) dish, tacos are a great choice for dinner plans! Pissaladière, on the other hand, is a dish that belongs to the French cuisine since it comes from Nice, France! Sharing some common ground with pizza, but not the exact same thing, pissaladière is a great recipe for a night in with friends or family! Which one would be the winner in this case?
Pick a food
This time we will take a flour tortilla and fill it with everything our stomach needs! What we'll get in the end is a delicious burrito! Part of the Spanish cuisine, burritos are a great go to choice for something to eat on the road. On the other hand, next to burritos come the bangnard sandwich which originates from France! Both are awesome snacks, but which one would win, if we had to choose only one in a hypothetical scenario?
Pick a food
From the beautiful island of Sicily, we got a lot of great food choices and one of them is undoubtedly the cannoli! The canoli is an Italian pastry with a ricotta filling (usually, but not necessarily!). It is a food we rarely say no to (no matter how much we try)! On the other hand, we have the enchiladas! Filled with cheeses and vegetables, enchiladas are a great option for dinner or lunch break! Which one will it be?
Pick a food
Chicken tinga is a recipe with a red tomato sauce. It's secret ingredient (the one that makes it so delicious!) are chipotle chilli peppers which give the dish a great spicy twist! Chicken piccata, on the other hand, is a dish that belongs to the Italian cuisine. Usually chicken piccata is served with a dish of spaghetti (a combination that no one can say no to!). If we are forced to choose one of the two which one is the right choice?
Pick a food
Let's talk about dessert for a change! There are two desserts that are both quite famous and quite irresistible! What else is there of course other than a chocolate soufflé coming right out of France, and a big piece of tiramisu that (as we all know!) originates from Italy! Both creamy, but not necessarily the go to dessert for the same type of people (or better yet stomachs!). If there was a case we had to choose between the two, which one would win?
Pick a food
Looking at pies and tarts, who can deny the brilliance of a quiche? Part of the French cuisine, a quiche can be nothing short of perfection, creamy with cheese and spinach (well traditionally although there are many variations!). On the other hand, in a country from South America (where else but Mexico!) what else can we find tempting, but a taco pie? Taco pies, like tacos, are very famous and rightly so! So, which one would be the obvious winner?
Pick a food
Still in Mexico and can’t get enough of the food there? Then definitely try the beef birria! This recipe is quite unforgettable and we can totally understand why! Nonetheless, if spicy isn't that appealing to some people out there, that's fine too! If beef birria doesn't sound like a good choice, then we offer beef bourguignon. A well known French recipe, beef bourguignon is infamous and we certainly want to try it! So, which one would it be, if we had to choose?
Pick a food
If we're not in the mood for spaghetti, then what can we eat that has an Italian touch? Well, a great choice is potato gnocchi! If served with a bit of marinara sauce, even better! If Italian food isn't an option to begin with, worry not! Another recipe for the bold is a tartiflette (needless to say a great food choice as well!). If we could have only one of them which one would end up at our tables tonight?
Pick a food
Does elote sound familiar? If not, elote is a dish which basically is grilled corn with cheese and spices that is mostly served as an appetizer in restaurants. In truth, its simplicity is its charm! Alternatively, coming right out of Italian cuisine, we recommend pomodori al riso! Both dishes are perfect choices for a night that is meat free! In a make-belief scenario, if one of the two had to go (we can’t have both) which one would be the obvious choice?
Pick a food
Back to our cheese lovers! This time, the dilemma is between pecorino and roquefort! The first one, pecorino, is made from the milk of sheep and is produced in Italy. All pecorino cheeses are hard and very delicious! Roquefort is a more daring choice! Coming from south France, roquefort, like pecorino, is a type of cheese that is made out of sheep's milk. For those that can't stand blue mold, however, roquefort is not for them! So, which one will it be?
Pick a food
For all the soup fans out there, the traditional french onion soup is a dream come true! Served with garlic bread (usually!) the onion soup recipe is a lot tastier than it sounds! For other types of taste, we have chicken tortilla soup! Unlike the onion soup, the chicken tortilla soup is a main dish coming from Mexico! The first one is creamy and the second one is spicy. Which one would be the obvious winner in case we could have only one of the two?
Pick a food
What is our go-to drink for a night out with friends? On the one hand, we have wine, usually served with great food, which is an elegant and simple drink that connects mostly with the French culture. Margaritas, on the other hand, are a great option for a more wild adventure. Refreshing and incredibly tasty, margaritas are a go to drink for a great summer night! If we could have only one of the two, which one would win?
Pick a food
Has anyone ever wondered what a dessert would be like if it was both sweet and spicy? If yes, this cuisine has the answer: chocolate chilli cake! If this doesn't sound that inviting for some people, then we have another suggestion and that is the Italian biscotti! Great with coffee, (especially a warm cappuccino!) biscotti is great for an autumn evening under the blanket! Which one is the obvious choice, if we had to choose only one of the two?
Pick a food
Another dessert dilemma for all of those out there that have a sweet tooth! For every person who loves mangoes and is tired of drinking mango smoothies, again the cuisine has an answer and that is chardonnay mango pecan tart! But, perhaps mango is not in our favorite fruit list. Well, we can always go for a macaroon instead! If one of these desserts had to go (in a make belief scenario) which one of the two would it be?
Pick a food
Let's focus on sauces for the time being! Garlic butter, for instance, is a sauce that belongs to the French cuisine. For people that find garlic or butter to be irresistible this French sauce is the perfect choice! But, another sauce that can tempt everyone into trying it is the Italian marinara sauce! The magic of marinara sauce is that it goes with pretty much everything (even with plain bread alone!). Unfortunately, only one of the two can stay. Which one is the winner?
Pick a food
One can stay away from desserts only for that long of course. For ice cream lovers, this will be a tough one! Gelato is one of the most famous types of ice cream out there. In truth, it is known for being the best recipe for ice cream in terms of quality. But, some may prefer another recipe coming from Mexico, and that is fried ice cream! Fried ice cream is a very weird (in a good way) experience. So, which one will it be?
Pick a food
Although most people are familiar with the apple pie and its connection to the identity of the US family, they tend to forget the apple pie's cousin, the French apple tart! Even if it shares similarities with the apple pie, the apple tart is still a dessert that everyone should have a taste of! Alternatively, we have the Italian panakota, a light and delicious choice perfect for those that want to keep away from too much sugar at the moment! Which one is the winner?
Pick a food
Time to go back to appetizers! One easy to make and hard to resist Italian appetizer is none other but the pesto pepperoni roll ups. Small in size and very delicious, they can be hard to put down! If that's not someone's type of cookie though, then we also have chilaquiles, a dish we spicy food lovers are very fond of (and who can blame us really?). Which one would win, if we could have only one of the two?
Pick a food
Now that we are on the appetizers discussion, we can't forget the infamous canapés from beautiful France! Countless variations exist and all of them are very enjoyable! Interestingly enough, canapés can be found in almost every event out there (it’s a caterer’s best friend it seems!). Alternatively, mozzarella stuffed meatballs are a great choice that comes from Italy. In a dilemma between these two appetizers created by our fantasy, which one would be the obvious winner? (Unfortunately we cannot have both!).
Pick a food
For those of us that love olives (whether in our salad or pate) an olive cheese bread right out of Italy is superb. For other people that don’t share in our enthusiasm for olives and the opinion that olives are awesome without a shred of doubt, a possible choice would be chimichangas. A bit spicy, but we love that as well, chimichangas are a great choice to include at a dinner table. Between these two dishes (that cheese lovers can't say no to) which one would win?
Pick a food
Again cheese lovers will be very excited (or torn!). On the one hand, we have fajitas, a dish that has a lot of cheese if one chooses so! On the other, we have French toast with cheese. Although French toast is usually made with cinnamon and honey/syrup, (depending on one’s taste!) there is also a very well known recipe for those who want a savory breakfast! Between fajitas and French toast with cheese which one would be the obvious winner?
Pick a food
A great filling for a burrito (or taco, quesadilla etc.) is the Spanish quinoa! Made with beans, spices, corn (and other vegetables) and any type of meat we like, (which can also be optional) Spanish quinoa is an experience we can never forget! If that's not our cup of tea, however, then we can try the mushroom risotto, a recipe straight out of the Italian cuisine! In a completely hypothetical dilemma between these two dishes which one would be included at our dinner table?
Pick a food
Once again, back to cheese! In a dilemma between ricotta and camembert which one would win? To make things more specific, ricotta is an Italian cheese used in a lot of Italian recipes for pasta (mostly!). Camembert is a cheese from Northern France similar (at least in appearance!) to brie. Both types of cheese are light, (depending on taste and preferences of course!) so a choice between the two might not be that easy. So, which one would be the winner?
Pick a food
When we think of French sauces perhaps what comes to mind is the French bordelaise sauce, which got its name from Bordeaux (fun fact!). Alternatively, pico de gallo salsa is a sauce (that belongs to the Mexican cuisine!) that we mostly use as a dip for chips (either potato or tortilla!). So, if we had to choose one of the two sauces, and therefore get rid of the other forever, (house rules!) which one is the obvious choice to keep?
Pick a food
Going to actual ingredients for the recipes now! For those of us that love cooking, peppers are one of the vegetables that we continuously use in recipes. Aside from tomatoes perhaps, it's the second mostly used vegetable in cooking! So, between the jalapeno pepper (growing in Mexico) and the peperoncino (growing in Italy) which one would be the better choice in a make belief dilemma? Keep in mind that when we choose one of the two, the other one is off the table!
Pick a food
If our choice in the previous question was jalapeño peppers, then we know the choice in this question as well! Jalapeño poppers of course! Deep fried, filled with cheese and extra spicy, (just the way we like it!) they're a great appetizer for those who dare to taste it! Onion stuffed mushrooms, on the other hand, are another great appetizer with a bit of a milder taste (but equally delicious nonetheless!). Which one will turn out to be the winner then?
Pick a food
When it comes to salads, I guess one of the most famous would be tuna salad or Caesar's salad! In this particular case, however, we have chosen two different recipes: the panzanella (an Italian recipe) and the parisian salad (a French recipe as its name already gave away). Both of them are very refreshing, but only one of them can stay at our table. Which one would be the obvious winner, if we had to choose only one of them?
Pick a food
Whether we've been to France or not, we've definitely heard of the famous recipe coq au vin because it's one of France's signature dishes. A traditional recipe that perhaps some might not like, but we certainly have to taste it once in our lives (it’s a great experience!). Alternatively, we can try amatriciana chicken (an Italian recipe). With main ingredients like tomatoes, garlic, pork and pecorino cheese, amatriciana chicken is a well liked recipe. So, which one will it be?
Pick a food
For creme lovers, this is going to be a tough choice to make unfortunately! Between a caramel flan (coming right out of Mexico) and Creme brulee (a favorite dessert from France) which one would be the winner? Considering that both desserts are creamy and delicious, we find it very difficult to choose between them. Still, we have to follow the rules of this make belief dilemma, and therefore we have to choose which one would be the winner. Caramel flan or crème brulee?
Pick a food
Another great chicken recipe from Mexico is pibil pollo! A spicy and tasty main course dish that many people adore! If chicken (or meat in general) isn't our thing, however, then another great recipe is the Sicilian arancini, which (as the name already gives away) belongs to the Italian cuisine. Deep fried rice balls can be a difficult option to let go of, but let's see. Between these two dishes, which one would be the winner if one of the two had to go?
Pick a food
Since we're talking about Italian culture (and we have provided some pasta options as well) we can't not mention pizza! Any pizza is a great choice for a night in with friends or family, and it can even be a great choice for something to eat on the road. Alternatively, we offer the French flamiche. Similar to the Italian pizza, but not exactly the same, the French flamiche is also a tasty treat! So, which one of the two will it be?
Pick a food
Giving a new twist to a wrapped meal, the Mexican recipe tamales is a dough which is steamed inside a banana leaf or a corn husk! Either way, tamales is a tasty Mexican dish, but in case that this isn't that impressive for some people, then we recommend Lasagna. Well known and well liked, lasagna is an Italian recipe for pasta that goes in the oven! If we had to choose only one between the two, then which one would win?
Pick a food
For our last dilemma, we have two egg recipes! On the one hand, we have scrambled egg torta from beautiful Mexico. A great choice for breakfast or brunch, scrambled egg torta is a type of scrambled eggs that are served inside a big loaf of bread. It is basically a recipe for a very big sandwich! On the other hand, we have eggs benedict! Widely known and made in many countries, eggs benedict belong to the French cuisine. So, which one will it be?
