As a perpetual non-celebrator of Valentine’s Day (in fact, I’m listening to NPR Music’s Break-up Song show right now) it’s unusual that I might help others celebrate by posting a list of foods that are alleged aphrodisiacs. I’m doing it because I’m really not a sourpuss and I feel that if you’re deciding to commemorate the day of Saint Valentine, you should be eating the right stuff. Let’s have a look-see at what you can eat and drink to get things going (list via Newser).
Oysters — gross. Skip.
Garlic — yum. Do. Just mouthwash after dinner. Plus it’s got vitamins and other health benefits. (And when I Googled the benefits of garlic, a site about herpes treatments came up. Good to know.)
Chili peppers – only if you want to lose feeling in your taste buds. But they’re a metabolism booster, I hear.
Wine — given.
Some weird smell combos listed at the original post are enlightening, so I recommend you take a peek.
Mmmmmm... Nothing beats it. Thanks to Wikimedia Commons.
