POTUS, FLOTUS & Scallops: Sexy Food, PDAs and Smiles All Around

I suspect that one cannot eat too many scallops. Don’t quote me, because I am researching this assertion.

Although researchers have demonstrated a link between bivalves: oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops, it’s not clear just how many one must eat to experience the elevation in sex hormones that both men and women experience from feasting on these savory, seductive foods.

We do know that Cassanova, who admitted to seducing 122 women in his memoirs, began his day with 50 raw oysters.

The Italian romantic also used oysters as ‘sex toys’, stating in Volume Six of his story: “I placed the shell on the edge of her lips and after a good deal of laughing, she sucked in the oyster, which she held between her lips. I instantly recovered it by placing my lips on hers.”

(I did that with a conservative, Westchester accountant one night several years ago. In my case, I shared Remy Martin, not oysters. He was stunned, but came back for more.)

Scientists do believe that the primary benefits of sex-hormone generating chemicals D-Asp and NDMA molecules are most effective in raw bivalve seafood. The positive impact of zinc in these bivalves may also be affected.

Therefore, I cannot make sexual potency claims about the scallop recipes that follow, except to remind us all that sexual desire is created primarily in the brain for women.

Men, too, succumb to the pressures of sexual anxiety, which can impact his performance in bed. If a man believes that scallops are an aphrodisiac, and his partner is also convinced, pleasure looms in their future.

The power of seafood lies beyond its alleged properties as an aphrodesiac.

Couples who commit to seafood as a cornerstone of their diets are most likely healthier, more prone to exercise, and already convinced of the pleasures found in sensual feasting. My sense is the President and First Lady Obama are nodding their heads in agreement.

First up, three new scallop recipes, then into the Simple Sexy Food archives:

Scallops, fresh mushroom and wine - Romantic decadence for two: Blue Kitchen

From Blue Kitchen:

Sea Scallops with Shiitake and Oyster Mushrooms via Blue KitchenAs Saveur magazine so accurately puts it in their provocatively titled newsletter Saveur’s Entirely Aphrodisiac Menu, “Who doesn’t love sensual and tasty indulgences like caviar, chocolate, foie gras and truffles?”

And to that list I’d add slightly exotic [or at least slightly extravagant], slightly grown up ingredients like sweet-tasting sea scallops and fleshy, earthy, decidedly non-button mushrooms. Throw in some butter, a little dry white wine and fresh ginger and suddenly, it’s time for candlelight and knowing smiles.

Insalatina de Cappesante Dorate, from POTUS favorite chef Tony Mantuano, executive chef of Spiggia

Spiggia’s ‘Golden Scallop Salad’ via Leite’s CulinariaTony Mantuano cooked another scallop dish for President Obama at last week’s Bulls-Wizard game: wood-roasted diver scallops with black trumpet mushrooms and crispy pagliolaia.

Another Mantuano dish, this delicious scallop salad featured on Leite’s Culinaria, will inspire every sensual imagination.

I haven’t mentioned the mushrooms paired with these scallop dishes. Mushrooms are thought to give us yet another libido punch, so embrace fungi.

The Scallop of Gothos at I Blame The Patriarchy

What a rowdy, amusing blog I just found in my international sexy scallop wandering!

You are reading I Blame The Patriarchy, the patriarchy-blaming blog that has been advancing the radical feminist views of Twisty Faster, a gentleman farmer and spinster aunt eating dinner in Rattlesnake, Texas, since 2004.

You see, I am objective. I believe that men tend to get a “bum rap” from many women today, but I cannot resist adding this blog to Anne of Carversville.

The Scallop of Gothos via I Blame The PatriarchyI’m not sure about stirring Pepcid’s into the scallop sauce, but that’s your call. The absolutely worst thing you can do is to attempt lovemaking on an unsettled stomach!
