A man loves with his eyes, ears and, of course, his stomach. Even those who, at the beginning of a relationship, do not think about their daily food, after some time, begin to carefully study cookbooks in order to pamper their other half with delicious breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Of course, you can go to a restaurant, order food at home, use cooking or ready-made meals in the store, but not every day. And here the question arises, how can you please your beloved man? I conducted a small survey among my male acquaintances, work colleagues, friends and my main connoisseur and lover of delicious food - my husband. For the most part, many of the answers were similar and predictable. After all, boys are such boys!

But in fact, I understood one thing, it doesn't matter what you cook, the main thing is to do it with love. Well, if you really want to pamper your men with something tasty, use our rating of favorite men's dishes or make your own.

1. Olivier / Herring under a fur coat

These two salads have firmly entered our menu since childhood. Men, like us, are very sentimental and basically the list of their favorite dishes depends on what they were fed in childhood. Olivier and Herring under a fur coat, as well as Crab salad, were not frequent guests at our tables, they were mainly prepared for the holidays, therefore, from childhood to this day, they remain loved, as they are associated with good memories and emotions. If you want to make your man nice, just like that, for no reason, prepare him an Olivier salad or Herring under a fur coat in the middle of the week. You will see, he will be delighted and thank you.

The second place among my acquaintances men are, oddly enough, salads, which they prefer to order as a snack in restaurants. And that's great. If you want to please your soul mate, having bought the ingredients in advance, in a matter of minutes, you can prepare a healthy and wholesome dinner. In summer, Caprese comes out on top, where juicy tomatoes combined with slices or balls of mozzarella, seasoned with aromatic olive oil and balsamic vinegar, decorated with basil leaves, can drive any man crazy. In the fall, Greek salad becomes popular, because store shelves are bursting with a fresh harvest of vegetables. Diced, they go well with brutal feta cheese or tender feta, bathed in aromatic sauce and spices. Well, in winter, the male population prefers something substantial and colorful - Caesar salad. Crispy lettuce leaves, fragrant croutons and tender chicken meat with cherry tomatoes - a pleasant evening accompanied by a glass of white wine is guaranteed.

3. Jelly

Jelly or jellied meat, this is a tradition, again associated with the past. It is customary in my house to cook these dishes exclusively for New Year's or Christmas holidays, just like my husband's. In our memories, the preparation of these dishes is associated with something very warm, homely and dear. Of course, cooking it on weekdays is quite problematic, but after spending a little time on the weekend, you will make your loved one a nice gift, reminding him of the best moments of his life.

4. Borscht / hodgepodge / kharcho

70 percent of the men I interviewed answered the question about their favorite dish - borscht! I asked why? First, everyone remembered lunch at school and kindergarten. Secondly, borscht is the most delicious dish their mother cooked. The remaining 30% named a hodgepodge or kharcho. Do you want to surprise and delight your loved one? Call his mom and find out the secret recipe, if this is not possible, prepare your beau's favorite dish according to our recipes or by studying the cookbooks that are available in any bookstore.

6. Cutlets with mashed potatoes

No comment. Delicious delicate creamy puree with a juicy cutlet is a favorite of all times and peoples. Firstly, it is the most popular dish in Soviet public catering. Secondly, again, mother or grandmother cooked cutlets with mashed potatoes and they still haven’t come up with anything tastier than this combination. Especially if you serve them with slices of thinly sliced ​​pickles. Tasty - yes, brutal - yes! Real men's food, period!

7. Dumplings

Dumplings are always fast, they are always satisfying and, of course, delicious. Well, who would refuse a plate of steaming dumplings with sour cream or butter. I think that none of the male brothers is. Juicy meat in a bag of thin dough - no one is indifferent. You could always buy dumplings in the store, and now even your eyes run up with abundance. But if you cook homemade dumplings and please your loved ones with them, men will surely appreciate your skill and work.

Pilaf in my environment is loved by almost everyone. True, everyone prefers to cook it according to their own recipe. Pilaf is a purely male food and only a real man can cook it. Arrange a holiday for your loved one - let him prepare his favorite dish for you. And you will only have to admire the culinary talents of your chosen one.

9. Pies / pizza

My grandfather and father were very fond of pies and pies, so my mother and grandmother baked them for every holiday. With cabbage, meat, liver, rice and onions, fish and jam. Pizza appeared much later in our life. I think today pizza is the most popular bachelor meal among men. Although everyone loves her. Invite friends over to your house, make pizza and spend time with your loved ones and favorite food.

10. Honey cake / Anthill / Napoleon

Many men have a sweet tooth and love to be pleased sometimes with homemade cakes. Preferences differ here, but favorite cakes remain the favorites - Medovik, Napoleon and Anthill. Because, usually, it was these sweets that were taken out at the end of gala lunches or dinners on the occasion of celebrating a birthday or another holiday. The long-awaited children's joy - a piece of cake with tea, has remained an outlet for matured men.

It is not for nothing that men and women are called ladles of the same universe. Even if they are similar in some areas, in nutrition, the differences between them are especially noticeable. If a woman has enough salad and yogurt, then such a snack is unlikely to suit a man. Meals for men should contain a lot of protein, and this is understandable, because they also have more energy costs.
