[Sca-cooks] OOP - Food for a 19th Century Parisian Courtesan

[Stefan li Rous]

Huette suggested to Christianna:
<<< I suppose that you then should serve foods that are considered to be an aphrodesiac. IIRC artichokes were considered so. And also asperagas. >>>

I don't know if what was considered an aphrodesiac changed from the Middle Ages to the 19th Century, but perhaps this Florilegium file might of interest to Christianna, or perhaps others.
