Here's what to eat and drink for Valentines Day.
1. Great champagne
Every one and everything looks better through the bottom of a champagne glass.2. Chocolate
Makes us happy because it contains theobromine, a stimulating alkaloid similar to caffeine.
3. Oysters
Mighty high in zinc which raises libido. Casanova ate 50 raw oysters every day.4. Almonds
Regarded as fertility symbols throughout history.
5. Avocado
The Aztec's name for the avocado tree was the 'testicle tree', and Spanish Catholic priests at one time prohibited their consumption.6. Asparagus
Said to boost histamine production which will get you there faster, if you know what I mean.
7. Bananas
Great for blokes evidently, except a banana left on a doorstep indicates that a marriage is about to take place.8. Basil
Has a warming effect and is a love-token in some parts of Italy.9. Eggs
An ancient fertility symbol that enhances libido when eaten raw.10. Figs
For their sexy appearance and texture.Valentines Day is February 14, in case you were wondering.
