Salep is the parboiled and dried root of several species belonging to the
orchid family (Orchidaceae). The similarity between the roots and testicles, and the high contents of mucilage, early gave rise to the firm belief that salep is a potent aphrodisiac. The name derives from the Arab khusa ath-tha'lab, which was shortened to sahleb, and which means fox testicles. In Germany the latin name of salep was Radix satyrii officinalis, from satyrium referring to uninhibited sexual habits. A classical preparation is to boil milk with salep and some cinnamon, cloves and ginger for five minutes and drink it while still warm. The Swedish "St„rcckande Lattwerg af St††ndroot" from the early 18th century also includes parsnip and the root of Eryngium campestre as well as various spices. |
