What is your idea of a good Valentine's Day dinner?

Question

There doesn't seem to really be a traditional Valentine's day meal (except for the box of candy).

Answer 1

As far as etiquette there is no “traditional” meal, except the fact that it is made by you, with love, and set up in a rather romantic style. Stick with what you know best and of course what the person you are cooking for likes. If they hate… lets say chicken, you would probably try to avoid that. Another thing to remember is that with beef you serve a red wine, with chicken or fish serve a white wine. All in all it comes down to presentation. Be creative, imaginative, make it intimate/cozy the more you put into the setup and the delivery the better it will turn out.

Answer 2

There isn't what you could call a traditional meal. But if you want to treat a special someone, then it should be a nice restuarant that has a cozy, romantic atmosphere. Something classy. You may have to spend a little money.
If you're thinking of cooking, then candlelight for two would probably be the way to go.
