    Love this!! Also regarding the inconsistensies with the rye – couldn't it also be possible that the rye only really affected them in raw form, and women were more likely to have a bite of the raw dough to make sure the bread will come out nice?

    Important facts about the guy who was pressed to death: the reason he refused to confess was because if he confessed his wife would lose their land and have nothing when he died. His last words were supposedly β€œMore Weight” πŸ’ͺ🏻 truly a stand up guy

    I volunteer at a 1670s historic site and their recipes are written kind of strangely. Plus measurements tend to be things like "enough" and "an ordinary amount."

    Ergot poisoning was a myth. If y'all want to learn more about the witch trials, Last Podcast On The Left did an excellent series on it!! and also fun fact Emily worked with Henry Zebrowski, one third of the LPOTL squad, on a comedy show!

    Mythical kitchen series idea: millennials vs zoomers competition of some kind

    Based on how fun Emily and josh are together, how all the actual kitcheneers are zoomers, and how well Josh did with his self imposed 15 minute time limit that one time

    Who beats who in some kind of times competition? The kitcheneers working together, vs Josh with Emily being hilarious and doing her best to distract him while he makes his effort?

    Emily mentioning puppets actually do harken back to the Salem Witch Trials as some "evidence" that they used to accuse women of being witches were straw dolls thought to have been conduits of witchcraft. Last Podcast on the Left did an in-depth play-by-play of how the trials went down. And all those trials were done in the local pub.

    I don't usually listen to your podcast; but I recently had a 12 hour drive, and I exclusively listened to your podcast…. My takeaway: Nobody should listen to 14 episodes a row.
