I agree with #30, dump her

$100 for the food is a ripoff... but he probably got a nice bottle of wine too. Don't let it discourage you, just take it as a learning experience. Next time ask. Women love a man that can cook. :)

Do neither of you realize ribs are PORK and not BEEF?

That does suck, but as others have said, you should have asked about any allergies or food preferences. And, unless it was a surprise that she didn't know about, she should have offered the information. Kudos for the sweet attempt at romance, though. :-D #25 & #27 - He said fancy meal, in my opinion, soft drinks don't go with a "fancy meal." I'm going to guess that the rest of the money went to a nice wine, and those can get really expensive. :-p Haha, I took too long typing this and #33 said the same thing about the wine. And it's true, we love when men can cook! :-D

#34 ribs can be pork or beef... look it up

Firstly OP, as an above comment said "she could have been vegan" which pretty much means she would have to hungry. Next time gets wise and ask your GF about these things beforehand instead of just assuming. But one thing did catch me a bit. Unless OP you live in the city in Japan, you paid $100 for 3lb of beef ribs (which a good portion is just bone), ingredients for the marinade (which expensive, delicate ingredients will get overpowered in a sweet and sour marinade), broccoli, cheese (again not too much to overpowered the broccoli), ingredients for buttermilk biscuits (unless you decorate them with gold leaf) and for a meal for two people;... your FML should be "I got royally ******* ripped off by my purveyor(s)." And yes folks, there are beef ribs. Tasty.

dude. you deserved that one. vegetarian for 2 years.

I love how everyone is saying "what I thought ribs were pig?" Do they not realize that all animals have ribs? You can also get beef ribs, buffalo ribs, etc. Pigs aren't the only animals with ribs folks!

I would've asked first.

you should of asked her what she wanted to eat or something.
