Wait, how are pepper and onanism related?

[canemex]

Yeah, what? Am I just too pedestrian to know this one?

[faynudibranch]

Haha, it's a "Homeopathic Medicine" book, back when such books told you never to eat or cook with pretty much any herbs. It's a section on onanism that recommends what not to feed your children, so that they can be healthy and resist the temptation to masturbate!

[canemex]

Oh, because that totally makes sense.

[faynudibranch]

Yup! The 19th century made 100% of the sense. We are left with little in their wake.
