Tomatoes are by any definition, an authentic and reputable aphrodisiac. You don't have to be Italian (but it helps) to appreciate the true carnal prowess of this fruit... a ..er ..vegetable..
As part of the nightshade family, which includes potatoes and eggplants, tomatoes are enjoyed by almost every culture throughout the world with the possible exception of the orient.
Note to Guys; you really need to keep this fact in mind when wooing many Asian princesses.
As the story goes, tomatoes were originally a South American delicacy and were introduced to the world cultures, via the Spanish. At the time, most Europeans were not exactly enthusiastic tomatoes eaters until the French tried them, and began calling them “pommes d’amour”, apples of love. They believed that tomatoes carried powerful aphrodisiac qualities! However, it wasn't until the early 1900’s with the wave of Italian immigration that the tomato gained it's lofty place in the hearts of the people of the United States.
Associating food and prowess has been A link for centuries. Montezuma, Hippocrates, Casanova, felt food and sex were intimately entwined, and most every food from apples to zucchini has been considered to be a sexual stimulant, by one culture or another since Eve flipped an apple to Adam. Indulging in a night of real romance, starts with the intoxicating aroma of food.
