Opposites Attract Applies to Food?

I've always love good food. No matter what cuisine, as long as it gives me the smell and taste of something wonderful. For those who doesn't know me enough, i am a foodie. One of my blessings was to be born in Singapore where food choice is a nightmare at times and good food can be obtained at low prices.

I got into loving food because of what it can do to the mind, to the situation and to the event and people you are having it with. It brings people together, sharing and commenting on how it taste, whether does it appeal to your liking. It is one of the most powerful ice-breaking between two people or more. That's why the traditional date program involves dinner at a fine restaurant.

So it came to mind that does cooking or eating food help attract the opposite sex? I've always believed that if one cooks for the opposite sex and earns a placing in their stomach, he/she has an advantage over the other competitors of the heart. It's pretty simple... You invite your date over for dinner, cook up a three course meal and end it with a bottle (or more) of good wine. The host sets the mood and is able to impress his/her date. Perfect plan for a simple date right? But to some people, that seems to be a tall order.

As part of my observation on people and their diet, some have specific and strict diets to follow. Either due to choice or religion, they are not as open to all kinds of foods. Which brings to me this issue... Does your date or partner's difference in diet affect the relationship? A canivore dating a herbivore, what future can they hold? How would they bring up their children? Would their children be omnivores or they would follow either side?
