When I wrote an article about first date conversation starters, a reader named Ann left me a very interesting comment…
“So my first date questions are the same ones I use at parties and with new friends: ‘What are the top three ways to eat potatoes? It’s great to be able to have this beautiful patchwork quilt of someone’s life. In my experience, people don’t just say “fried, mashed, baked,” they say things like “steak fries from the diner I used to go to with my best friend in high school,” or “kettle chips that I always had at my aunt’s house when I had sleepovers.” These details will make for the juiciest and most delicious first date. Besides, this is such a stupid question that everyone needs a laugh. ”
Isn’t it wonderful? what is your answer?
Mine definitely includes British potato chips. Because when I was a kid, I spent almost every summer at my grandparents’ house eating potato chips. And now my kids are doing the same.
Plus, the flavors are amazing, like the roasted chicken or shrimp cocktail.
And any pro tips from your brother? If you keep it in a mug, no one will know you have it (so it can’t be stolen).
Now, you may be wondering, “What’s the best way to eat potatoes?” Would you like to ask this question on a date?
