First-date no-no: Dripping with oil and vinegar and stuffed with mounds of meat just waiting to fall into your lap (ah, we heart sexual connotations), no matter how clean a bite you try to take, eating a hoagie is like trying to cut your own hair: You may accomplish the mission, but not without significant sacrifices to your dignity.

Escolar
First-date no-no: If you’re among the 33 percent of people who can’t digest the oil in this fish, you’ll be excreting more than just pheromones all night long. Can anyone say "kerriorrhoea"?
But when you’re in love: Even the most devoted of sweethearts will be hard-pressed to find charm in the after effects of escolar. Just order the salmon instead. But if you must…
