Wetting the Appetite

Raw oysters and champagne – it doesn’t get much more romantic that that...

...those are considered the most powerful aphrodisiac items on the menu. But if you’re not big on raw oysters – there are plenty more exotic choices:


• Figs - This sexy fruit has long been considered an arousing stimulant – Just ask Adam and Eve or Cleopatra.

• Bananas – Beyond the obvious, bananas have minerals that boost libido.

• Avocados – They were once banned by Catholic Priests in Spain because they were so obscenely sexual.

• Asparagus - An English herbalist from the 17th century, Nicholas Culpepper, wrote that asparagus "stirs up lust in man and woman."
