History research will resume once this topic is exorcized;) 
Has anyone else asked themselves today why one would eat like a bird, when one of the hottest men on the planet admitted he finds a woman who loves food to be his idea of an ideal mate?Frankly, the thought sent my mind off on a delicious journey remembering some of my fav dishes (most of which are Greek & Italian) and of course wondering if said man has adventurous taste buds or more conservative ones like his dark grey BMW:) Most men who say they love food are not the 'meat & potatoes' type.
Primary purpose of this post is another poll - well, something completely different...NOT! haha
Which meal course do you find the most delectable? Is it the first? Most often it's a light dish such as green salad or soup...Or possibly something more exotic like the following one called Spider Rolls. I've never tried it, therefore, upon seeing them for the first time, had the thought the black spots do indeed look like itzy bitzy...yck,yck:) Or possibly a small portion of Greek spanokopita?..
1. First Course?
Spider rolls :(
spanokopita - cheesy spinach mixture wrapped in crisp phyllo dough :) yum!
Or is it the entree that you find to be the most satisying? Must confess I've tried frog legs, more out of curiosity than anything else, and they do indeed taste like bland chicken. That was my first and last time for the tiny appendages, first because they lacked flavor and also because the waitress asked at the end of the meal if I'd enjoyed them. After responding "not really" she replied - "oh, that's too bad - there are a dozen little frogs on crutches in the kitchen":)
2. Main entree?
(following is Greek Pastitsio..baked pasta w/savory meat filling and bechamel sauce)
By the way, this is my preferred method of cleansing the palate between courses ;)
3. Dessert course?
Baklava (layers of delicate phyllo filled w/a luscious mixture of crushed walnuts & honey)
While collecting the pics for the feast, came across the following photo which made me wonder what John Porter might be nibbling from her,,,errr,,, could it be lo-cal grapes or perhaps one of his favs - chocolate. Following mouth-melting morsels would be appropriate...they're Hershey Kisses. Each tiny piece of candy is wrapped in silver foil - the unwrapped chocolate buds are a vintage American sweet treat...tons of fresh batches made every day in Hershey, PA
We'll need refreshing libations to accompany the repast...
If he prefers a simple pint of beer - great! I swing either way - with beverages...nothing else;)

May I have one half-portion of spanokopita, and one half of lasagne, please? Or is that pushing the envelope? :)
At this establishment, fitzg, the patron is always right.
Will that be vegetarian lasagna, miss? That's another dish I've often ordered at a great local Italian eatery. Eggplant marinara as well. It's an interesting gastronomic phenomenon - if the sauce(& melted cheese) are yummy enough, there's no need for meat--veggies do just fine...and best of all, they lower the calorie count. HA! See how easy it is to rationalize consumption of delicious food.
We take long walks at least 4Xs per week...especially after one of the meals above.
Veggie is fine. There are a couple of vegans in the family, so (carnivore that I am, and dairy-lover), have had to learn to cook vegan. Good thing we all love Indian!
