I once brought a young lady back to mine for a first date feed, half expecting her to enjoy being indulged in some fine(ish) dining. Oh no. Beans on toast she opted for. Oh how my housemates ripped the pi55 in passing. I had the last laugh though as she was pure filth later that night 😉
My wife has just told me to stop laughing. I do most of the cooking now, but it’s not how I wooed her. She’s not a very good cook, so it’s not how she wooed me either. Do a roast, but ask her if she minds making the gravy, if she gets the Bisto out she better have some other womanly skills. If on the other hand, she starts stirring flour in to the roasting dish, get down on one knee now. (I think I have failed in avoiding innuendo fodder)
Steak with a red wine sauce and sweet potato fries worked well for me. And enchiladas (proper ones not old el paso kits). Both are some of her favourite meals so it may be worth asking her.
Chips is only ok after your both legless on the way back from the pub, they are NOT dinner.

Oi!! As someone who thinks the north starts at Guildford I am fully aware of the fact that game chips fat chips ARE dinner and may be served with a red wine jus gravy.
Lasagne. With a side salad, olives and garlic bread.
Prep it all in advance, set table, pre-heat oven.
When she arrives, great her with a nice bottle of wine and attentive company.
Just order the best Fish & Chips in the town. Warm it up in the oven before serving etc.
Then get one or two bottle of good wine not more than £5 per bottle from Co-Op and you are set to go.
For dessert just get some ice cream.
There you go plenty of time to relax over the wine later on or if you get lucky you should be shagging … make sure not to eat too much/full.
Alternatively, if you want to be complicated then you can try to cook the Chinese 3 cooked pork i.e. Hakka style pork belly and taro like this.
This is one of my favourite dish … if you can cook this properly you will have no problem pulling any girl on this earth.
Do Not let the look deceive you. If you are in Chinese restaurant try to order this and if they are a good Chinese restaurant they should have this dish.
honestly though, if she’s actually coming to dinner, it doesn’t really matter what’s on the table, after all she cooked a bad meal for you, it’s not like it’s the end of seeing her, right?
Although if some-one gave me heated up fish and chips, I’d have to think very carefully…. 😆
Vegetarians no problem I suggest cooking Indian Chana Daal with naan bread.

Ya, I was once offered boiled haddock in salt and potatoes … after the dinner we stayed together for several years.

C’mon, Fish and Chips is the national dish … besides, what’s wrong with heating up if you order it say 20 mins before that?
I said as much chewkw, I think the phrase was “married under false pretenses”
To be fair she did cook some super stuff in between, these days I do all the cooking as her MS means she can’t do anything. I’ve found a real love of cooking & she says I’m a much more inventive cook than her?
Though she got taken into hospital today so I’m sat here eating Red onion & sweet potato bhajia at the moment
Co-op Argentina Malbec red wine is good at £4.75 😀

I see. Good on you!
… now try cooking the Chinese 3 cooked pork for her.
This is a very authentic Chinese food not many Westerner knows butmake sure she is not allergic to taro or yam as that is one important ingredients … as well as fermented tofu.
But I will have a go at that pork seeing as I work in Liverpool and we have a very good range of Chinese supermarkets I think any ingredients should be easy enough to get.
