As
I mention in the opening of the video, this stuffed, prosciutto-wrapped
chicken breast has everything you want in a Valentine’s Day entrée; it
looks fancy, it tastes amazing, and contains dried cherries, a known
aphrodisiac.
Of
course, the efficacy of aphrodisiacs has been hotly debated for
centuries, and while I think that some foods can have this effect, it’s
virtually impossible to prove as scientific fact. One challenge with
objectively analyzing the libido-leavening effects of these substances
is that they’re often served alongside copious amounts of alcohol.
Would
eating two-dozen oysters still turn you on, if you didn’t down all that
champagne with them? Does chocolate mousse have the same effect if not
preceded by a bottle of wine? I guess we could do some experiments
eating these foods without drinking, but to be honest, I’m really not
curious enough to do something that extreme.
Anyway,
whether this delicious stuffed and rolled chicken breast helps gives
your Valentine the urge to merge, or not, no one will argue that it
would still make for a beautiful and romantic meal. I hope you give it a
try. Enjoy!
