A recent video shared on social media captured a woman's surprise when her date ordered eba during their first outing. The clip, which has since gone viral, shows the man comfortably enjoying his meal at a restaurant while the woman recorded the moment, expressing her astonishment at his choice of food.

In the footage, a plate of eba and soup is placed in front of the man, while the woman appears to have opted for a more traditional rice dish. Her reaction, encapsulated in the caption, "This boy come date dey swallow eba," has ignited a flurry of comments and discussions online.

The video has sparked mixed reactions among netizens. Some users found the situation amusing, while others defended the man's decision to eat what he wanted. One commenter, Samson Olamide, humorously remarked, "Make I chop rice 15k make I no still full Abi. Oga supply more Eba," suggesting that the price of rice does not guarantee satisfaction.

Others shared their own experiences with food choices on dates. Blessed Grey recounted a time when friends were upset with him for ordering beans, plantain, fish, and yam, stating, "They were like bro, who the hell eats this outside?" He expressed that he simply wanted a change from the usual rice and spaghetti.

Supporters of the man in the video also weighed in on the discussion. Jeremiah Esan praised the man's food choice, describing him as potential husband material. He stated, "You see better potential husband u go dey cast am, i sorry for u. person wey you suppose dey hide the guy, to see husband material naaa connecting and God grace you see one you cast am."

Mozolhenry questioned the societal expectation surrounding food choices on dates, asking, "If Eba or swallow is for some particular occasion why are they selling it at the restaurant?" This sentiment was echoed by other users who argued that a person's meal preference should not be a cause for concern.

Jay@best added that the man's choice was not a red flag, stating, "It’s his choice that he ordered eba isn’t a red flag, you self chop your rice in peace so because of you he should pretend?" Similarly, Leal King defended the man, asserting that he should feel free to eat what he desires on a date he is paying for.

The incident highlights the varying perceptions of food choices in social settings, especially on dates. As the debate continues, many are left questioning the norms surrounding dining etiquette and personal preferences in romantic situations.
