Food has this awesome ability to take romance to the next level, accompanying our emotions with flavors and mouth sensations that stay with us sometimes longer than the lover. I have had the good fortune of sharing some incredible meals with my husband, and many of our favorite memories occurred over, with or while making food. I have a list of foods that immediately come to mind when I think of romantic foods: Oysters, artichokes, lamb, most things eaten with your fingers, brie and bread (so often eaten while lying in the grass). Some of these are cliché (oysters) others personal favorites (artichokes), making me curious what everyone else's lists look like.
What would you say is a romantic food? Is this personal or one you think is common?

Some good books linking romance with food:
Aphrodite by Isabele Allende
by Paula Buttini
Funny that so many of your favorites are the same as mine. I wonder why that is... I would also add a pot of brothy soup with a crunchy bread for dunking can sure bring a look of love to ones eyes. Thanks for the tip of the book Aphrodite by Isabele Allende. I love this writer.
