Lambí guisado (Stewed conch)

Every culture’s cuisine has dishes that are supposed to have aphrodisiac properties. These dishes range from the harmless to the frankly bizarre. Luckily the dishes in our cuisine alleged to help one’s amorous skills are a pleasure to eat just for the sake of delicious foods.

This is one of those dishes.

Lambí guisado (Stewed conch)

Other Dominican dishes in this group are various herring dishes and the local drink mamajuana. But is there any truth to this?

While conch contains many beneficial nutrients, and a healthy body is definitely more capable of engaging in romantic activities, conch most likely won this reputation from the principles of sympathetic magic, as a conch resembles a certain part of the female anatomy.

Ok. I think I am done with the euphemisms.

Whichever the effects you are seeking I invite you to try this delicious dish so popular in the coastal areas of the Dominican Republic.

JEM asks Dr anthonyc


Is saying that Cubans are a power in the U.S. anti-Cuban and bigoted?

:-P

Have a nice day, Tony!

in the world of the study of human behavior, there is the little notion of projection. guys with masculinity issues like to suggest that other men are homosexuals. similarly, racists like to make out others as being racists. so Dr anthonyc likes to call others racists. while he himself is closer to the KKubanKlan than the rest of us.

I totally agree, "El ladron juzga por sus condiciones."
The thief judges others on the basis of his own condition.

We have totally different taste buds..I find the other cuisines in the Spanish Caribbean too bland when compared to Dominican food.

wonderfully put, guillermone.

I agree with you mostly. In Puerto Rico I did not experience bland food wherever I ate. Some Cuban food that I have eaten from people I used to work with was quite delicious. Overall I find Cuban food as less seasoned out of the Big Three.
