Supposedly women will put menstrual blood in the food when cooking to “trap” the man as some form of voodoo. An African American coworker recently explained this to me.

As crazy particular as a large swath of the AA community is about food in terms of over cooking, and over seasoning I don’t believe this for a second. You’re talking about a group of people who “don’t wanna see no blood”. Ain’t no way in hell they are doing this.
