"First-time author Jack Turner
starts off his academic history of the spice trade with a cutesy
premise. The Oxford University Rhodes Scholar reaches back to his
grammar school days to retrieve the seed that inspired this deeply
astute work. According to Turner's teacher, Columbus stumbled upon the
New World in search of spices because "medieval Europeans had been
afflicted with truly appalling food, necessitating huge quantities of
pepper, ginger, and cinnamon to disguise the tastes of salt and old and
rotting meat." The young Turner accepted the explanation, but
pursues this line of inquiry in later years: Why spice, really?"
The expression
"get laid" supposedly has its roots in the "Everleigh"
bordello in 1900's Chicago ("I'm going to get Everleighed
tonight").
In the 18th Century, another
term for anal sex was "navigate the windward passage".
In
17th century Spain, it was illegal for anyone other than a woman's
husband to see her bare feet. A woman could freely expose her
breasts, but feet were considered sexual and had to be covered in
the presence of men other than her husband.
