So we all know and agree that Geet and Maan have always been connected by water. But after seeing today's promo, it occurred to me that food plays an equal part in their relationship! While water represents with all the big, abstract aspects of their relationship like truth and purity, food has often symbolised the more real and difficult aspects that they have to deal with in being together, and the compromises that they have to make. It symbolises their differences while water symbolises their unity.
Here is a list of a few times, where food has played an important role in their relationship, or has just been part of an incredibly sweet moment between them. I personally have loved all their food-related romance so enjoy some of my favourite food-moments and their symbolism!
Kurban Hua
How can we forget that we got this amazing moment and dance sequence because Sasha/Tasha had switched the catering from continental to samosas and kachoris? To me this symbolises that no matter how much Geet tries to change, her innate desiness comes to the fore, and as much as Maan tries to hate her for it, he just can't!
Dhaba Scene
This whole little story was so quintessentially Maaneet! Each one took up the challenge of eating something they hated, just to prove that they could, it seemed, but underneath there was a compromise and an effort of each to compromise their own comfort for the other. Geet insisted that she would eat the Italian dish despite the fact that it completely disgusted her, and Maan ate chili after chili, despite the fact that it caused him a huge amount of pain! The lassi that Geet feeds him represents the fact that she is a soothing factor in a situation that would normally be intolerable to him.
Engagement ring hidden in the cake!
Buried feelings anyone?

Maan brings all the street-food to KM
This was just the sweetest thing! It showed how Maan was completely concerned with Geet and her pregnancy and made sure she got everything she wanted! Too bad they lost the baby 10 mins later đ
Maan makes gol-guppe for Geet in Amritsar
This showed how Maan knows Geet better than anyone else! Even though she is angry with him, he finds ways to express his love. Delicious food speaks louder than words and it was so sweet of Maan to do this. It showed he wasn't only concerned with her forgiving him, but also with her being healthy and happy, with or without him.
Geet and Maan eat apples
I loved this scene in the Rohtak house! It was so sweet the way they were enjoying even the difficult circumstances they find themselves in. This moment was symbolic of all that was to come in the short track, that is, Maan unable to provide for Geet in the way he thinks he should, being afraid that Geet would not be able to handle this, but with her cheerfulness, she makes this a happy and romantic moment for both of them!
Geet makes Maan coffee, and he likes it!
This was the first sign we got after ML that Maan is starting to appreciate Geet's presence in his life. From the promo to the execution of this scene, I loved the subtle interactions that were happening beneath the dialogues!
These are some of my favourites, though I know there are many more. Come to think of it, food is a pretty important aspect of GHSP.

Pasta/Toothpaste in the Outhouse
Maan makes pasta in the outhouse when Geet finds no ingredients with which to cook. She pretends to be disgusted but ends up eating it with relish.
Ok so I know toothpaste isn't strictly food, but it tastes good and you put it in your mouth, plus the moment is relevant so I am throwing it in. Geet is once again a soothing influence on Maan, although in a way he didn't necessarily believe would work. Geet is the home-remedy for Maan's broken heart! LOL
So both of them are trying to deny their gradual acceptance of the other but are slowly and subconsciously giving in.
