Single This Valentine’s Day? Stay Anti-Thematic With These Black Foods

By Devi Poojari

You shouldn’t be left out on Valentine’s Day just because you’re happy to be by yourself. You can also celebrate in an anti-thematic way by trying these interesting black foods.

BLACKBEARD MARTINI

Made like a martini, with the exception of adding a touch of black raspberry syrup, this martini is a strong way to kick off celebrating being single.

BLACK CHICKEN SOUP

For those wondering if this really exists, there is a variety of chicken that has black meat, which is great for a warming bowl of soup.

FORBIDDEN RICE SALAD

The nutty, slightly chewy grains of native black rice taste wonderful when paired with a sweet-spicy Asian dressing and chunks of avocado.

SQUID INK RISOTTO

Although now quite the culinary rage, this squid ink risotto topped off with seafood is perfect to maintain an air of noir.

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE

Nothing, and we mean nothing quite compares to the realisation that you can dig into a big piece of deliciously decadent chocolate cake on your own, without having to share.

BLACK LIQUORICE PUDDING

Although the world is divided about liquorice, it tastes absolutely magical when used in a modest proportion for a creamy pudding.
