I once saw on a menu in Holland 'deep fried codpieces'! YUM! :lol:

I loved this one K. Nearly choked on my tea! Uggghhhh the mere thought.

I thought you'd get it L but wasn't sure if our American friends knew what a codpiece was? :? :D

Well this American has no idea what a codpiece is! :oops: :oops: :twisted: :twisted: :?: :?:

Ninnie has been sheltered most of her life I guess..


K...I know :oops: don't believe I would care for that menu item :roll:

Codpiece: I hope you are ready for this Ninnie...A codpiece (from Middle English cod, "scrotum") is a covering flap or pouch that attaches to the front of the crotch of men's trousers and usually accentuates the genital area. It was held closed by string ties, buttons, or other methods. It was an important item of European clothing in the 15th and 16th centuries, and is still worn today in performance costume and in the leather subculture.
