Friday Find
Source
Worry not reader, if under the influence of this carousal-loving hosiery you overindulge, this weekend I also bring you a 14th-century hangover cure:
If any one have drunk too much, if it be a man the testicles should be washed with salt and vinegar, and if it be a woman, the breasts, also let them eat the leaf or the stalk or the juice of a cabbage with sugar.
(John of Gaddesden's Rosa Medicinae, circa 1314)
I think though I'll stick to my brew and bacon sandwich method.
