Strawberry is the fruit of love

Remember the old saying goes?????, the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Did you ever wonder, though, that when preparing a feast for a man, including strawberries in the menu is always a must?

Strawberries are often whimsically referred to as the fruit of love. The one obvious reason is the strawberry’s heart-shaped form, its sweetness and its vivid red color. Because of this, a lot of love lore has been attached to the strawberry. In Roman times, it was considered the fruit associated with the goddess Venus and often made offerings of the fruit at her temples. In France, newlywed couples are, by tradition, served soup made from thinned sour cream, powdered sugar and strawberries for breakfast as soon as they emerge from their bridal chamber. There is also a legend that if someone eats half of a strawberry and feeds the other half to someone else of the opposite sex, these two people would fall in love with each other in no time.

If a girl loves a guy, probably one of the most obvious ways she could express her feelings is by feeding him strawberries. The simplest way of going about this is by serving him strawberries with whipped cream for dessert. An alternative to strawberries with cream is strawberries coated in chocolate, a double aphrodisiac, as chocolate is another food associated with love and passion. And then there is always the strawberry shortcake and the strawberry cream pie for those who are more endowed with kitchen skills.
