Romantic Food

Filed under:Various Odds & Ends — posted by IOjaw on February 10, 2006 @ 2:42 pm

Here I am, hunting down more original and artistic ideas (preferably with pix) of unique Valentine’s Day edibles. Only problem is, I think most people have forgotten that the holiday was about creating a “romantic” atmosphere for that special someone in their life. Admittedly, everyone has a different idea of what is romantic. But, have you ever looked up the phrase “romantic food” in the image search engines (including Flickr). It seems the idea of romantic has turned into “fancy” or “expensive”. Personally, I feel being creative with that special one’s favorite foods is more romantic. Sure the traditional heart shape is almost a prerequisite, but there are ways to deal with that (such as the pancakes, pizza, and waffles featured earlier). I bet one could take pasta (or just about any food item) and place or form it into a heart-shaped mold with very little difficulty.

My research wasn’t a total loss though. While looking at the numerous images, I ran across this picture of a retro foodie V-Day card. It reminded me of the “caveman” days when we would be all psyched-up about the holiday in elementary school. If fact, I’m pretty sure I saw that particular card passed out (may have done it myself) several times during those very sensitive and vulnerable years!
