St Valentine. No relation to Trish Valentine from axed 90s soap Eldorado. We’re talking the patron saint of love, marriages and engaged couples here, but beekeepers, plague, fainting, travelling are also his province. Perhaps that’s why he ate honey with the lights off, always had to look away from Judith Chalmers, and carried smelling salts in his glove compartment. But enough about him, did you know that Grainger Delivery is the loveliest place to come for Valentine’s Day treats for your SnugglePuss?

Northern Delicious: 'Hello Gorgeous' Martin's Chocolatier Box
‘Hello Gorgeous’ is such a good name that we used it twice. It’s also a stunning selection of premium chocolates handmade by the masters at Northern Delicious. We're talking white, mild, and dark and they're made from Belgian chocolate with an assortment of centres like fruit crèmes and pralines so no duds like poor old Toffee Penny and Toffee Finger in a certain tin of Christmas chocs.

Aphrodisiac foods at Grainger Delivery
We couldn’t not take a quick peek-a-boo at which foods are natural aphrodisiacs in a Valentine’s blog for Grainger Delivery so here goes…
Asparagus
A source of potassium, fibre, vitamins A, B6, C and E, and folic acid, asparagus likewise contains folic acid, said to boost histamine production to heighten the ability to orgasm in both sexes. It also contains vitamin E for the production of sexual hormones.

Avocado
Vitamin B6 in avocado is said to increase male hormone production.
The Aztecs called the avocado tree ‘Ahuacuatl,’ or ‘testicle tree’, for reasons we don’t need to explain. Spanish Catholic priests even forbade avocados among their flock.

Loaded with potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins as well as chelating minerals and the bromelain enzyme, bananas are said to enhance the male libido.

Chillies
Chillies contain capsaicin, a chemical that stimulates nerve endings and raises pulses – it’s also the chemical that gives chillies their heat. This aphrodisiac food is also thought to release endorphins.

Chocolate
It’s a chemical reaction that makes chocolate taste like love because it contains theobromine, a stimulating alkaloid similar to caffeine. Chocolate also helps the brain produce serotonin. Best go for high-quality, antioxidant-rich, dark chocolate.

Figs
Said to be Cleopatra’s favourite food and more precious than gold to the Ancient Greeks, many cultures associated figs with fertility. A real food of love.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
