Natural Viagra Found in the Heart of Calabria

Stop the Presses!
Call your loved ones …
A new, all-natural replacement for Pfizer’s power-pill has been discovered.
Where?
Well, in Calabria, of course.
Remember that McFunky place I told you about in Villaggio Mancuso in La Sila?
Not only do they sell great wine, homemade jelly and assorted Silan meat and cheese, but they also sell the good stuff.
Yep … natural Viagra!
These chilies are all smiles because inside their containers are some of the most potent peppers you will find in Calabria. Hey. You’d be happy, too if it was you.
If you are into Calabrian dialect and have good vision, here is the science, more or less.
It basically says that Calabrian chili peppers are a natural aphrodisiac and that by eating these peppers every day people will notice you are happier and more warmhearted (wink wink) like the people in Calabria.
It goes on to tell you how to eat the peppers to achieve various, uhm … responses.
I’ve never actually tried the peppers to achieve said results, but I did read it and now so have you. And who says you can’t believe everything you read online?
Various Viagra substitutes are found throughout Calabria, such as pepper-flavored chocolate and pepper-flavored liquor. What are some of the Viagra knock-offs you have seen? And tell us … have you tried ‘em?
Hot peppers are the best natural aphrodisiacs. I lived for several years in Santa Fe, New Mexico. After a steady diet of the chili peppers there, I’ll tell you that they are addicting and very good for heating one up!
Oooh, I would love to test those babies in Sante Fe. And yes, they are good for addin’ heat!

I’ve been around those peppers my whole life, who knew? Actually, I have a whole vine hanging in my kitchen, courtesy of my parents. But I will say, this might explain our Calabrese “hot” tempered ways. Good find!
Ha! Good one. That could definitely be the cause of those tempers … although I have to admit, my temper is much hotter than my hubby’s!!

I think I heard oysters are supposed to have that effect, but I don’t like them.
Maybe ginger?
I have heard that about oysters, as well and I am with you. Eek!
