Answer 2

www,birminghamplus.com has a wide range of restaurants listed and critiqued, but I would suggest either Chinese..Birmingham has some fantastic Chinese restaurants .or Indian; specifically Balti, which was invented in Birmingham and lends itself to an intimate dining experience as well as a liberating one. There are hundreds of Balti restaurants, better look them up on the net and read some reviews.

Answer 3

OK, this my usual romantic first dinner. All you need to ask is whether they like Italian and it even covers them being vegetarian. The starter can be made in advance. The main course does have to be cooked at the time, but this gives you a chance to show off your culinary skills. Dessert can be dispensed with or even "taken elsewhere", if you know what I mean. The entire meal also has a final "twist", which has never yet failed to impress. Starter is a mozzarella and tomato salad. Cut the cheese and a big beef tomato into slices and arrange artistically on a small plate. Sprinkle chopped fresh basil over the top and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Serve with focaccia bread. The original recipe calls for sliced onion – I wouldn’t. The main course is a simple pasta and tomato sauce. I use fresh spinach and ricotta tortellini, which are half green and half - well, pasta coloured. Advise your partner that, according to legend, tortellini is supposed to be the shape of Venus' navel*. For the sauce, just lightly fry off 2 medium onions and 2 cloves of garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add a 400g tin of chopped tomatoes. Put the pasta on to boil now. Reduce the sauce down a bit. At the end, sprinkle on some more chopped fresh basil. Now, drain the pasta, add it to the sauce and gently toss them together. Explain to your partner that this is because an Italian would always "bring the pasta to the sauce", not just plonk a dollop of sauce on top of the pasta. Serve with another bit of focaccia bread to mop up any sauce. For wine, I recommend a Valpolicella. Dessert is just three scoops of good quality ice cream, one each of strawberry, vanilla and mint. If your partner has eaten enough, this course can be dispensed with in a suitably nonchalant manner. The "twist" is to ask your partner if they have spotted the theme to the meal. "Its Italian" is the obvious answer, which is close. The answer is that all the courses are the colours of the Italian flag. If all goes according to plan, my "breakfast to impress" is orange juice, scrambled egg with smoked salmon bits on wholemeal toast and coffee. * A later version of the legend says its Lucrezia Borgia's navel. Given her family’s reputation for poisoning people, I'd stick with Venus.
