Ingredients to Make the Perfect Aphrodisiac Valentine’s Day Dinner

Across the pond, our British friends recently conducted a nationwide survey asking food lovers what edible item was most likely to put them in the mood for love.

In no particular order:

• Chocolate
• Red Wine
• Oysters
• Whipped Cream
• Avocados
• Ice Cream
• Hot Chillies
• Salmon
• Bananas
• Asparagus (Really?)

And as a follow up to that, a top London chef is creating a complete meal featuring all top ten ingredients.

• Are We Reaching the Point of Having Too Much TV?

The six course meal starts with a champagne cocktail followed by a plate of oysters, and then a salmon and passion fruit tartar, served with a quail's egg yolk.

He finishes off the meal with a sultry 'chocolate and caviar' creation.

The chef promises his meal will stimulate the brain, encouraging it to produce the feel-good chemical, serotonin.

Whatever it leads to after that - I don't need to know.  I just hope you get home before bursting into flames!
