The answer is d. “The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"

Many women have won a man's love by cooking delicious meals for him. They fed his stomach and found love in his heart. Is there really a better conversation enabler...? 
A good meal served in a 'wonderful' atmosphere has its own magic.

“WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH” - "The evolution of this saying appears to be almost as indirect as the route to a man's heart. The American statesman John Adams wrote in a letter , 'The shortest road to men's hearts is down their throats,' and some years later Richard Ford's 'A Handbook for Travellers in Spain' advised, 'The way to many an honest heart lies through the belly.' A few years later, Miss Mulock observed in 'John Halifax, Gentleman' that the stomach was the way to an Englishman's heart. Fifteen years after that, the writer Fanny Fern broadened the idea to include all men in 'Willis Parton' (c. 1872), rendering the saying in its current form."

I believe there are different ways to a guys' heart.  Through food, great attitude, emotional support, etc. the list goes on.  But just to be on the safe side, I’m going to offer my man all the Harter House meat he can eat. I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan, and never, ever let him forget, He’s the man.
