It is always nice to have someone to share your likes and hobbies with. Especially so if the person has the same obsessions as you do. Food is a universally-loved entity in itself and many people identify themselves as ‘foodies’ – us included.
Food dates, travelling for food, breakfast in bed and more. If you are lucky enough to be with someone who adores food as much as you do, things like these are frequent and aplenty; and it’s what keeps you going!
If you are in a food-centric relationship, you will probably relate to this list of 15 Things Only Foodie Couples Will Understand.
#1 BREAKFAST IN BED REGULARLY
There is nothing better than waking up to the smell of eggs and pancakes – in bed. Either your other half is the loving one to make you breakfast, or you getting up early just to surprise him/her. Breakfast in bed is sweet all the same.
#2 COOKING TOGETHER IS YOUR FAVOURITE PAST TIME
You look forward to coming home after a trying day at work and dishing out some of our signature dishes in the kitchen together with your partner. That’s some quality time spent there, and it promotes communication and coordination!
#3 DOUBLE UP DESSERTS
You know how couples tend to share a dessert at the end of the meal? Forget that, you guys will order 2 (or more) desserts. The more the merrier, so that you get a taste of everything!
#4 EDIBLE GIFTS ARE ALWAYS PREFERRED
Some girls love diamonds and some guys love luxury watches. But not for us. Meal treats, macarons and buffet surprises are our thing. That’s how practical we are.
#5 FOOD ARTICLES SHARING 24/7
Ever saw an article about a new restaurant opening on Facebook and you just cannot wait to check it out? You would proabbly copy the link and send it to your partner right away and start making plans. That’s how we foodies roll, yes?
#6 FOOD DATE NIGHTS ARE APLENTY
We don’t really care for ice skating and movie dates, neither do we get excited about parties and whatnot. We just want to dine out and spend time with food together. That’s our idea of happiness and a perfect date. Just food at different restaurants and cafes.
#7 IT CAN GET COMPETITIVE WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD
You guys can sometimes try to one-up each other on how much you know about food. Admit it, many of your heated arguments circle around who knows about food best, where to dine at, what to cook tonight and all the food-related issues.
#8 SHARING SNACKS OR BITES WHENEVER
You never have to worry about not finishing a snack, because you know your partner is going to gobble the remaining up for you. Being with a partner who loves to eat as much you do is really about ordering whatever you want and sharing them!
#9 TEXTS TO EACH OTHER LARGELY INVOLVE FOOD
You send pictures of food, plan your next meal, discuss about your dinner last night, talk about the new restaurants etc. A large part of your texts revolves around food, and that’s what gets the both of you excited.
#10 TRAVELS ARE PLANNED AROUND FOOD
When you take a holiday, your itinerary is centered around food. Food is your priority, and you make sure you map out your meal plans before anything else.
#11 YOU BOTH HAVE FOOD-ONLY INSTAGRAMS
Ok, maybe 90%. But you get the idea. Photos of your breakfast in bed, photos of your homemade lunch, photos of your fine 8-course dinner, photos of your picnic basket, photos of your anniversary cake, and everything else in between.
#12 YOU CAN ORDER MORE FOOD TO SHARE
When you have a partner who loves food and can eat as much as you, ordering food is never a problem. Cannot decide between two choice? Order them both! It is our favourite theory of “the more the merrier”. Oh what joy it is to have our tables filled with plenty of dishes!
#13 YOU CAN SURPRISE EACH OTHER WITH FOOD
Surprising each other with food is a regular thing between you guys. Buy him/her that slice of cake, or plan surprise dinners for him/her on an otherwise regular and dreadful work day!
#14 YOU HAVE A DAILY MEAL/FOOD PLAN TOGETHER
You guys plan your meals in advance and you always look forward to dining with the other person because this means another awesome food adventure together. This also enhances communication and promotes bonding.
#15 YOU NEVER ARGUE ABOUT WHAT TO EAT
Yes, you might squabble a bit, but you never really argue because you will take turns dining at each other’s favourite places. Food keeps the relationship going, and always gives you something to look forward to. Definitely more than just a date!
