So if chocolate is not an aphrodisiac, why not make it into one?

An array of organic chocolates bearing unusual names such as ‘Dreamy‘, ‘Beautiful‘, ‘Fantastic‘, ‘Lovely‘, ‘Sexy‘ and ‘Sensual‘ will be showcased at the International Speciality and Fine Foods Fair in London next week. The ‘Sexy‘ chocolate bar is made of Belgian chocolate laced with chili, which contains capsaicin, the compound that gives red chilli pepper its heat, and has been reported by several studies to boost heat generation by the body, and therefore boost metabolism. Aside from that it’s also supposed to act as an aphrodisiac, though I haven’t unearthed any publication that document such powers from chili.

Incidentally, I’ve had a taste of Lindt’s “Mexikanischer Gewürzzauber”, which was delightful–quite an experience, really– but sorry to report, did nothing perceptible to my sexual appetite.
