for true love, they've wished on a wishbone.

Members were also asked which celebrity chef they would want to help them
cook their Thanksgiving dinner. Forty-one percent of members said they would
want Rachael Ray by their side in the kitchen, followed by Bobby Flay with
26 percent and Wolfgang Puck with 22 percent. And cooking a Thanksgiving feast
is "Hell"-ish enough without constructive criticism, which could possibly be
why members decided that Gordon Ramsay received only 11 percent.
And what better dish to prepare with a celebrity chef than one that tells
your sweetie how thankful you are for them? Fifty-one percent of members said
a chocolate pie was the top aphrodisiac on the dinner table. Apple crisp came
in second with 23 percent, sweet potatoes received 14 percent and turkey
gobbled up 12 percent of the votes.
"It might be called 'Turkey Day,' but our members have made it clear that
it's actually the sweets that get them excited," said Dr. Helen Fisher, chief
scientific advisor to Chemistry.com. "While Thanksgiving is traditionally
based around the dinner table, it's ultimately a time for people to share a
day and say thanks to the people they love."
This Chemistry.com poll was conducted online and fielded 3,302 responses.
