Nothing says "aphrodisiac" like a poisnonous amphibian. (source)

Is there anything on this earth, I wonder, that hasn’t been declared an aphrodisiac at some point? Wikipedia’s very limited list includes: oysters, potatoes, tomatoes, rhinoceros horns, turtle eggs, chocolates, and tiger penis. None of them have been scientifically proven to have any effect, but that hasn’t stopped people from continuing to try. And we can now add to the list: Slovenian salamander brandy, which according to this page, is a "medieval method of getting in touch with your deeper sexual feelings."

I’ve never heard of it, but it sounds positively fantastic. It’s said to be so powerful, in fact, that consuming the "poisonous mucus" together with brandy makes you so hot that you’ll get sexually attracted to plants and animals and other stuff outside your phylum. Now that’s an aphrodisiac!

(Thanks Susan!
