Look of Love: Asparagus

asapragus
In the 19th century, bridegrooms were served asparagus in three courses because the vegetable was thought to have aphrodisiac powers. Whatever the reason for the effect, it certainly isn't whatever naturally occurring compound it is in asparagus that gives many of us that little fragrance problem in the bathroom after we eat asparagus. However, given it's shape, asparagus is a highly suggestive food, especially because we often serve them whole. Asparagus contains folic acid and vitamin B which are, for women, important not only for a healthy heart, but also for having healthy babies. OoooOOOoooh, so that's what it is -- preparation for making babies!
