Spaghetti: The Food of Love
Nearly all the herbs in spaghetti sauce were once regarded as “love” herbs and they often showed up in love potions. Basil was once given as a token of love, marjoram was part of wedding rituals (to inspire joy and strengthen emotions), and rosemary was burned to inspire love and friendship.
