Hey, I saw Papillon. People who lived in the tropics had hardly any laundry to boil! :o
Avoid Jamie Oliver’s cooking shows. He likes to drop his beautiful, gorgeous nuts on the counter from a height and give 'em a good bash with a rolling pin! :eek:
Other uses of enormous cast-iron kettles:
The end of laundry-boiling would have been in the 1930s. FDR’s supporters often used an automatic washing machine as a symbol for him and his policies, because it was the TVA that brought electricity to rural parts of the country and enabled the use of electric appliances. Which caught on very quickly, because doing laundry by hand is a horrible chore.
I’m pretty sure my grandparents, fresh off the boat from Austria-Hungary, did in their backyard in Milwaukee, too.
From 1976 I heard of the Idi Amin Hot Tub, which “will hold up to five full-grownup adults, plus a little room for some of the children, and lots of vegetables and onion and salt”.

He hates it when they get burned or oily, though. 
The cannibal housewife was preparing dinner when she found she was out of baby oil. She went next door to borrow some only to find her neighbor was out, too. Fortunately, she did have some Olive Oyl to spare.
If you arrive late to a cannibal dinner party you may be left with a cold shoulder.
If you’re into Mini-Golf and have a hankering for some humanary stew, there’s a cannibal-themed hole at the course in Guerneville, CA.
Curare, the famed South American arrow / dart poison is perfectly safe to eat in the amounts that is needed to kill a game animal via a puncture wound. In other parts of the world where the arrow poison is deadly when ingested, the area surrounding the hit (and most poison) is cut off the carcass, and the rest of the poison is sufficiently dispersed in the bloodstream of the animal to pose no problem for the (mostly muscle tissue) eaters.
At cannibal weddings, the bride and and groom are always toasted.
Do Mexican cannibals eat humanudo?
On Sundays it’s Tacos el Pastor.
