Kate says she's more adventurous than William as she tries 'Viagra' delicacy in Bahamas

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited a fish fry today with Kate, in a pink Rixo dress, trying local delicacy ‘conch pistol’ – said to have the same effect as viagra.

She held up the strip of flesh, which comes from the inside of the conch and is commonly said to be the conch’s male genitalia, before putting it in her mouth to applause from the crowds.

Kate said: "I’m a little bit more adventurous than William is."

As the pair joked around, he said: "I can handle it."

She added that she had already tried conch fritters but had yet to try conch salad.

She then got hold of a knife and helped stall owner Jade ‘Kow’ Adderley, 39, who owns the ‘Kow Conch Stall’.

They were offered conch salad.

William said: "Ladies first", before Kate tried it and said: "Delicious."

Mr Adderley said: "She was a good helper. I’d like her to stay and help me at the stall."

William then made an impromptu stop at a bar.

He slapped the bar top and said: "This is my stop!"

William was offered a Gullywash – coconut juice with condensed milk. He seemed to enjoy it and joked: "You guys talk amongst yourself I’m staying here."

They moved on to stalls by the beach where vendors were selling handbags and homemade honey.

While talking to stall owner Kimberly Roberts, 49, of Abaco Ceramics, William looked at the honey for sale in jars on the table then pointed to Kate and said: "Catherine has bees at home."
