<h4>@buttpacker (s) take us on a mouth watering, culinary delight, trying out one of the most aphrodisiac foods known to man. Apparently it's so strong it permanently changed  Normas  brain chemistry and behaviour.  In her defense, she was eating the aphrodisiac regularly since she was a child.</h4>
