Oooh la la, seeing today we are celebrating love we wanted to show you the top 6 most popular romantic foods.
Crave them, long for them, and of course, add them to your Valentine’s Day menu. They pair perfectly with Cupid and are sure to keep you out of the dog house!
So, which romantic foods are the most popular?
We took to the internet to find out. First, we gathered the most commonly mentioned romantic foods from various top 10 articles. We removed the less obvious choices such as whipped cream, spaghetti, and artichokes (if you have ever considered artichokes your romantic go-to, you are doing it wrong). Then we took a peek at search data to see which of these foods people loved to Google the most.
6: Chilli pepper (60,500 monthly searches)
Not to be confused with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. 🎸🎶.
Chilli peppers are commonly listed as a top food to inspire those lovey-dovey feelings. Time to spice things up a little? 🔥🌶
5: Truffles (165,000 monthly searches)
When it comes to truffles, there are two kinds: the chocolate kind and the mushroom kind. Chocolate is thought to be the reigning romantic food (it actually isn’t as you will find out). 🍫😱
Truffles are a very rare kind of mushroom. So, instead of giving her a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day this year, try… a box of mushrooms. 🍄😒
4: Chocolate (368,000 monthly searches)
Chocolate needs no introduction. Chocolate is probably the one food we can all agree on. 🍫😍
Perhaps this is because chocolate contains a stimulant similar to the chemical released in the brain when you fall in love. No wonder it ranks so high on this list! 🧠💘
3: Fig (450,000 monthly searches)
Cleopatra reportedly adored figs. Needless to say, figs are associated with a bounty of fascinating stories, not the least of which has been their huge role in traditions surrounding fertility.🤰👑
If your lovebug wants flowers for Valentine’s Day, you could give them a bouquet of figs, which are (technically speaking) flowers, not fruit. 💐🤗
2: Honey (1,000,000 monthly searches)
Honey is the sweet golden nectar of the gods, and it has a longstanding reputation for romance. 🐝🍯
Besides boasting a wealth of health benefits, honey is just downright delicious. But the top and final romantic food on our list is almost as sweet and certainly just as divine. 💋😘
1: Wine (1,500,000 monthly searches)
We know, we know. Strictly speaking, wine is a beverage, not food – but we hope you won’t hold that against us.🍷🍇
Wine is one of the most potent aphrodisiacs in existence and has more than earned its place in the top spot on this romantic foods ranking. Combine red wine and chocolate? That packs a powerful punch indeed! 💞🥊 (That’s why it’s always a good idea to include our wine pairing option when booking your ticket for a romantic event at Dinner Time Stories SA with Le Petit Chef).
Let us know if your favourite romantic food didn’t make it onto our list! 👇

Today is an extra special day because we get to celebrate International Thank You Day! This means I have an extra reason to say Merci Beaucoup (Thank you very much).
International Thank You Day is celebrated yearly on January 11. It is a day that serves as a reminder that we ought to express our gratitude to those who have made our lives better in some way.
What better month to reflect on this than the beginning of the year? We often forget to say, “Thank you,” because we take it for granted or assume that others know how we feel. This day was founded to recognise the importance of always saying thank you.
With that in mind, please allow moi, to say “Merci Beaucoup” to you again! I want to say a special thank you to you, for just being you! I might be the world’s smallest chef, but my appreciation and thanks to you come from the world’s BIGGEST heart!
Here are 3 fun ways you can also celebrate International Thank You Day!
Send thank you e-cards
Send a surprise to your friends’ inboxes! Imagine their delight to find a thank you card amidst work-related emails.
Say, “I’m grateful”
These are magical words. Saying I am grateful helps to strengthen relationships, and savour positive experiences.
Fill a jar with thank-you notes
Write little notes of gratitude for a special person and place them in a jar. They can pick a note to read to get an instant boost of positive energy for the day.
I would love to know how you celebrated your international Thank You Day!
