10 Aphrodisiac Foods To Eat This Valentine's Day (Photos)

There are certain ingredients that have long been called aphrodisiacs -- having the ability to fire up passion and desire in whoever consumes them. And most of these beliefs date back to antiquity. Some of these items are well known such as oysters, chocolates and wine, but others don't fly as high on the radar for most people, even though they are very much accessible by all.

With Valentine's Day just days away, we at Kitchen Daily thought it only appropriate to highlight the foods that inspire the feelings of love. And with those foods in mind, we also offer some of our best recipes that spotlight each aphrodisiac ingredient.

We fully expected to see Lamb on the list. Fresh lamb in any cut flavored with garlic and rosemary with it's rich lusty flavors ought to inspire with wolf in anyone.

If two people care for each other it only takes a memory of the last encounter to heat passions up

The "aromatic" side effect of asparagus would be a serious turn off! And how much of all this food do you have to eat for how long to show even the possibility of working?
