Pigeons with pears with chocolate sauce
It's a fact: cocoa stimulates the pleasure zone of the brain. Nothing like a tile chocolate to do good ... Better yet, the phenylethylamine it contains certainly triggers the sexual desire! An Italian scientific study has even shown that it acts mainly on the female libido. "Its stimulating properties are suitable to excite the ardor of Venus", already said in 1702, Louis Lemery, in his "Treatise on food".
