Pink Tale #55, Beetroot for Libido
At Eynesbury FM
Attractive hip young couple strolls into the market. Girl wearing enormous sunglasses covering half her face stops in front of my stall.
Me: Hi! Would you like to taste the beetroot muesli?
GWEG: Not sure. Why is it pink?
Me: Beetroot, it stains everything. (she smiles and nods) Fresh raw beetroot is shredded and mixed into all these beautiful nutritious ingredients (I point to the ingredient lists) then slowly dehydrated for many hours to remove the moisture without removing the nutrients. (I hand her a spoonful of PM)
GWEG: Oh wow! That is yummy!
Me: Would you like to try some? (I ask the handsome partner)
HP: No, thank you. (He looks suspiciously at the products, eager to move on. I hand some more samples to GWEG, who was happy to sample everything, ummming and yumming as she went.) Me: Are you familiar with the health benefits of beetroot?
Both: No.
Me: It’s good for the heart, the liver, the kidney, lowers blood pressure, cholesterol, improves stamina, improves sex drive. They used beetroot for libido in the first brothel in Italy. (At this point HP’s eyes light up.)
HP: You like it? (he asks his partner)
GWEG: Yes! It is so yummy! (still savoring the last sample)
HP: Which one did you like best?
GWEG: The crunchy one.
HP: Ok, we’ll take a large bag of that one please.
Me: Excellent choice. Thank you so much! (I hand them their purchase.)
Happy couple’s in the pink ?
