[Sca-cooks] Anniversary of Amore

[Huette von Ahrens]

Do you have a copy of the"Medieval Health
Handbook", i.e. "Tacuinum sanitatis"?  It lists
foods that were thought of as aphrodesiacs or
foods that "excites lusts".   Then find a period
recipe that features that particular food.

IIRC two are asperagus and artichokes.
