If there's one thing medieval peasants we're known for, it's that they have fucking SAFFRON to cook with /s

Just Butt Fish for me, thanks

Oh I remember this from that odd video that somehow managed to keep itself up on YouTube for ages, something to do with old Balkan traditions. It was like a fever dream with a surprising amount of nudity.

Teach a woman to fish...

...and you won't have to teach her anything else. She's set for life.

So that's where the "smells like fish" comes from

Notice we have the common courtesy to not put the cheese under our balls first.

Fun fact: lots of shit you find in books of this sort (not just spell-books) is nonsense; and I don't just mean "it doesn't work," but rather that the whole bit about women doing this for centuries until the Church had a looksie and said: "No more cooch fish!" is almost certainly made up. I also think they used the wrong word (Penitential), but I don't remember the correct word for dogma circulars distributed throughout religious dioceses and such.
TheVoidFrog
Are you saying the church created spell books so they themselves could condone the use of them?
RaspK
If you're referring to the last passage I wrote, I'm correcting what the shown page reads like, because the Church was distributing circulars, and they still do, in fact even more so, alerting authorities to new concerns, updates on important evens, and such. This book is claiming that such a circular, which they mistakenly refer to by the word "Penitential," and which is not used in such contexts, banned this practice. It's a bit of another giveaway as to this anecdote being most likely untrue.

Like someone reading Goop in 50 years and thinking most women put jade eggs up their vaginas.

Wait till they dig up Piage

And both can infect you with microorganisms and parasites, but at least with a jade egg you don't have a live fish resisting death from asphyxiation while you are trying to stuff it up your vagina instead... (Also, my claim is that, at the times this was printed, and which could be very modern, this was exactly like Goop — as I'm certain this wasn't truly a Medieval practice at all.)
