Aphrodisiac Seasoning Mixes

This Meat Rub from Lishman's of Ilkley is Designed to Induce Romance

Butchers at Lishman's of Ilkley in England recently debuted a aphrodisiac meat rub that is designed to get couples in the mood. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, this seasoning mix might be the secret to cooking a romance-inducing dinner.

The Valentine's Day meat rub is called 'You've Pulled' and it is only available from Lishman's of Ilkley in West Yorkshire. The rub was developed as part of a collaboration between the butchers and the marinade developers Meat Lust. The rub is a pulled pork seasoning mix that consists of traditional Valentine's Day ingredients such as rose water, cocoa and dried sparkling wine. The rub can be considered an aphrodisiac because both the cocoa and rose water contain phenylethylamine, which is the chemical produced by those who are in love. To use the rub, all that's required is sprinkling the seasoning on raw meat and then cooking until perfection.

For those who are cooking pulled pork this Valentine's Day, you might want to consider adding a helping of this romantic seasoning.
