Lettuce is the favourite food of the fertility god, Min.
He is depicted as a god with an erect penis, wearing a feathered crown and carrying a flail.
Lettuce is his sacred plant, and an aphrodisiac to us - this particular species of lettuce is tall, straight and secreted a milky substance when pressed!
Another aphrodisiac is the onion.
They are forbidden to the priests who have vowed celibacy, for fear that their passion might take over, and that they might desecrate themselves!
Fennel, ginger, pomegranates, coriander in wine and radishes mixed with honey are also aphrodisiacs.
The water lily is also a symbol of sexuality, as well as immortality and health.
It is even a narcotic that we use, and a sexual stimulant.
Some of our more unusual aphrodisiacs included pearls dissolved in a cup of wine, baboon faeces added to aphrodisiac ointments!
