Pork chops: can a hunk of meat be romantic?

pork chops - are they romantic? I picked out a package of pork chops for dinner tonight, and I was walking home from Trader Joe's, I got to thinking: are pork chops romantic?

I'm making a nice meal for my husband and I to eat after the boys go to sleep, so it will be just a touch romantic. And I like to think of pork chops as in this photo from the Saveur recipe I'll be following: entwined, bone-to-bone, in the carnivorous equivalent to entwining your arms when you perform the all-time most cheesy possible champagne toast.

But pork, it's pig, and pigs - they're not so romantic. But then, neither are cows, or strange-looking red shellfish with pointy claws. Can a hunk of meat be romantic? And if so, which one is worthiest of your special ménage à deux?
