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.

Confirmed: I too, was told this by a black dude I worked with over 30 years ago. I laughed at him. He didn’t laugh. He was serious. I still eat red gravy when I want to.

This has been around for centuries l, but I'm pretty sure it is a lost art as of a few generations ago. As society and science have advanced, things such as witchcraft and voodoo have subsided quite a bit.

Watch "Midsommar" movie. Pay attention to when the Grad/PHD students arrive at destination and tour the settlement. Also pay attention to a particular cooking & dining feast scene towards the end...

It’s a Sicilian thing, not a voodoo thing.

I was told that slave women would put it in masters red sauce to get back at him, sorta like employees at fast food restaurants spitting in your food.

As disgusting as that sounds, I suspect it's true.

You’ve got to remember that until like 100 years ago shite like this might have been considered practical advice. In third world countries they still do things that would shock you. Women are particularly hesitant to embrace western practices.
