What a healthy and lovely dish that is good for the heart romantic pairs. Asparagus is well known as one of the natural Aphrodisiac Foods. An English herbalist from the 17th century, Nicholas Culpepper, wrote that asparagus "stirs up lust in man and woman." In 19th century France, bridegr
ooms were served three courses of the sexy spears at their prenuptial dinners. Apparently for a good reason: asparagus is a great source of potassium, fiber, vitamin B6, vitamins A and C, and thiamin and folic acid. The latter is said to boost histamine production necessary for the ability to reach orgasm in both sexes. For an easy side dish to complement a spring roast, just cook this recipe without the salmon.
