The Food of Love

Hi Rach. Now I didn't know that about you.... chocolate, huh?

Put me down for mango. Although I personally think any "decadent" food is sexy. Like the act itself - in it's truest, purest, most pleasurable form. Truly good sex is a decadent experience that invokes all the senses and takes us to a different plane much like decadent (expensive, rich, tactile, sensuous) food. 

Well, my 2c anyway

Okay, it's hard to argue against chocolate. And I'm not really. 'Cause it's chocolate. <g>

But I do make a very decadent Key Lime Pie with a coconut cookie crust and topped (of course) with whipped cream. It's so creamy and sweet with just enough tart to make it interesting. Very sexy. 

For me it's chocolate, chocolate covered strawberries, and whipped cream.

Oh Rachel, the magic word - Chocolate - yummo! 

Have you seen some of those cooking shows and the way they are presented and you can see that the food would melt in your mouth? Glorious. So turn on the food channel and be inspired.

The ideal food of love I heard everyone talk about it but I haven't thought very much about it til now.  I would have to agree with the majority and go with chocolate.  For me it would be Hersey Chocolate kisses only, unfortunately.  Definitely not oysters, especially raw.

With my various food allergies I'll just enjoy all the stories.

I'm going with chocolate dipped strawberries - the contrast of flavours and textures and way you have to delicately bite through them and savour them. Mmmm.

Strawberries dipped in dark chocolate & a good bottle of champagne.

you naughty girl.....

I find it amazing that most of us love chocolate and strawberries together. And chocoate, strawberries and champers all together - bliss!

Honey and I are diabetics, so we have had to place limitations on our chocolate intake.

We have found that Hersey and a couple of other companies make an excellent sugar-

free chocolate.  It is amazingly, wonderfully great tasting!  The problem then becomes

not eating a whole package at one sitting.  The calories add up, don't you know!

I'm sure it's a food. And good for you too Goes nicely with chocolate, as well.

There is only one answer. Chocolate, a dish that is a close second is a White chocolate Mousse.

I don't have much to add to the list that hasn't already been listed.  I will say that, even though I find them completely repulsive, I read an article that said that oysters are rich in zinc, which plays a critical role in the arousal process.  So, oysters may actually deserve their reputation as an aphrodesiac.  I know that things that are phallic-like are often considered aphrodesiacs, too, though I question that.  (Speaking of which, has anyone else ever heard of a geoduck clam -- pronounced gooeyduck?  Check them out on Youtube or Google images some time, and you'll see what brought them to mind.)

Rachel, if you're interested in trying key lime pie (yum!), you should be aware that there are differences between the smaller, yellowish key limes (grown in the Florida keys) and standard, larger, green limes, and the differences supposedly contribute to the flavor of key lime pie.  So, if you want an authentic experience and can't find the somewhat-elusive key limes where you live, you might want to purchase a bottle of key lime juice, which is available over the internet.

I honestly LOVE chocolate, but Hershey's Kisses are way down on my list of faves.  The chocolate in them makes me cough.  Don't know what's in them that makes me do it, but even if they didn't, I'm not a huge fan.  What's funny is that the Hershey's chocolate BAR doesn't bother me much at all! 

Strange, I know, but I'm aware of what a freak I am.  LOL!

Hugs,
