Sea Moss Drink - What a great name for a drink that is considered a constitution fortifier and an enhancer of male virility by locals in Trinidad & Tobago. A Caribbean classic and is available by the bottle at markets in the Caribbean. I personally never heard of it, but will now try to find it and give it a try.
Conch Chowder - Conch meat, full of lean protein, iron and calcium was thought to be an aphrodisiac by early islanders and is still celebrated as one today in the Bahamas, Trinidad & Tobago as well as Turks & Caicos. When we traveled to Turks & Caicos a few years ago we actually "caught" conch in the Caribbean and our guide made a salad from it. Did it work? It was so gross, I couldn't eat it. Oh, well.
Mango Chutney - This recipe for mango chutney is sweet and slightly hot, and contains allspice. Also is a great condiment for jerk chicken. Was originally credited to the British Virgin Islands. Now, have you ever watched the episode on Seinfeld when they all buy fruit at a nearby fruit market and the mango works better than expected? Carol and I love mango smoothies no matter which island we are on in the Caribbean. Do they work? No comment!
Jamaican Jerk Sauce - This traditional Jamiacian sauce for meat, poultry, and seafood contains cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and hot peppers - all celebrated as aphrodisiacs throughout history. Anything hot is not for me.
Mexican Wedding Cookies - These cookies contain chocolate chips and cinnamon which are both supposed to have aphrodisiac qualities. But, it seems that it's the tradition behind them that make these delicate cookies so romantic. I have never tried one, but I would love to.
Flourless Chocolate-Chile Cake - This Mexican cake features not one, but two supposed aphrodisiacs: Mayordomo which is a Oaxacan speciality chocolate and cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. Being that I don't like anything that is hot, I never tried it, so I won't be of help on this one.
Classic Bahama Mama - Perhaps the most tried and true Caribbean aphrodisiac of all. Has a blend of four rums and grenadine which gives it the red hue. Very tasty if you haven't tried one.
