I put together a menu using mainly seasonal ingredients, just for you. A Sexy Feast menu does not have to be complicated. But it does have to include several of the previously mentioned foods cooked together, prepared with love, eaten with fingers, fed to each other. Prepare and eat with care; these dishes and ingredients are supreme WMSs - Weapons of Mass Sensuality.
Mole Poblano can be challenging to prepare due to the sheer fact that it contains many different types of chiles. But it is so worth the pain of sourcing all these ingredients as it is one of the most delicious, sensual dishes in existence. Also, and most importantly, it contains chocolate. If you have ever watched the movie Chocolat with Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp, or if not, know that some of the dishes Vianne cooks for the birthday of her friend Armande, played by the excellent Judy Dench, are most likely drenched in sweet, somewhat tangy, slightly spicy, Mole Poblano.
Here is a rather accurate recipe for you. There are also many simplified recipes that can be found on the internet.
- 4 ripe yet firm bananas
- 1 lime
- 1.5 oz cane sugar
- 1/4 to 1/3 tbsp allspice
- 1/4 to 1/3 tbsp powdered ginger
- 3 crushed cardamom seeds
- 1 tbsp dark rum
Preheat the oven at 400F. Butter an oven dish big enough for the bananas to all fit in one layer.
Remove the skin, cut the bananas lengthwise. Squeeze the juice of the lime over them. Mix the sugar and spices together and pour over the bananas with a bit of butter.
Put the dish in the oven. While it bakes for 15 minutes (or until the bananas are cooked), make sure to baste the bananas with the cooking juice.
Heat up the rum in a saucepan, flambée it and pour over the bananas. Serve immediately.
How you savor, pillage even, a Sexy Feast is just as important as what you eat. How sensual would it be, really, to eat the Mole Poblano on a paper plate and drink Champagne from a plastic cup? Not, would be the answer.
Set the Stage so that your Sexy Feast is a voyage through the mysterious lands of sensory and sensual pleasures.
7 easy tips to set stage for your food orgy:
- Use the good china: eat in your best plates, drink from your crystal glasses
- Set up an impromptu picnic in the middle of your living room: eating at the table can be sexy, eating on the floor can be sexier; particularly while comfortably lounging on fluffy pillows
- Play some sexy music: may I suggest the Get-it-on playlist you created earlier in the Challenge?
- Honor the food you prepared; eat it slowly, mindfully
- Use your fingers
- Sensually savor the food that is in front of you: outside of traditional biting > chewing > swallowing, how can you go about eating the particular food in front of you? Can you suck on its juices? Can you roll it off your hand with your tongue into your mouth? Can you slowly unravel it and make it come undone? Can you let it melt slowly oh so slowly in your mouth?
- Feasting with a special someone? Feed tasty morsels to each other. It is a turn-on to see your special person choose thoughtfully what next they will put in your mouth, and how they choose to go about it
