A Category Food

Out on a girls night out found out some interesting new aphrodisiacs (herewith called the A Category) that I have never heard of. Why we wandered on to this subject where you could add endless lists I have no clue. Some of the common aphrodisiacs that I have heard of being asparagus, oysters, ginseng tea, strawberries and so on. Some of my cousins have told me that drumsticks also belong to the A category. Have no idea where that came from unless they were trying to increase the murunga market which has seen better days anyways.

So out with the girls and catching up with different topics, one girl said that Camels milk is major in the Middle East. I thought ok there are no buffalos and cows in the dessert, so probably they drink this instead. She went on to explain that camel’s milk has A grade qualities. Camels milk, was a bit flabbergasted that people drink a camels milk. This is a big time A category thing and there are sweets made out of it which are suppose to be a big hit with the men. Felt a big finicky thinking of eating camels milk sweet but it’s suppose to be like a soan papdi (Indian sweet).

Interesting. I think the whole murunga thing comes from a village custom. When the lady of the house feels like some (ahem) action, she would modestly signal her desire to the husband by cooking a dish of murunga. That's what I've heard anyway. No idea why it's murunga and not, for instance, pathola

errr....

Aphrodite by Isabel Allende was an interesting read on the aforementioned category. Aside from the ones normal people indulged in it also mentioned exotic "interesting" ones such as providing the man with a fish dish where the fish had been (errr...) "stored" with the woman in (errr...) you-know-where...

Ok that want awkward @ all was it :P
