Pretty sure witchcraft was pretty much just women brewing beer, which was a thing mainly women did back in the day: https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-ancient-traditions/bubbling-brews-broomsticks-021539

They happened to wear pointy witch-like hats and employ children to do some of the labor too.

Some children did inevitably fell into cauldrons... purely by the virtue of being inebriated by the fumes of course. And you wouldn't waste a cauldron of perfectly fine beer, even if the taste is a bit porky. Well I guess that's why Guinness tastes like bacon.

Maybe because Becky keeps adding poison?

They say it's men vs. women, I say it's Weber grill vs. cauldron.

Where does one get a cauldron, anyway? Is there a cauldron guy? Who has a cauldron guy?

Oddly, my church has a cauldron. It has been used at fall festivals to cook giant amounts of chili over open flames doors.

I believe it was bought at a farm auction.

I'm not sure ifyou're serious, but Townsends sell cookware that is very similar to a cauldron: https://www.townsends.us/collections/pots-pans

I was joking. Those are pretty cool, but I meant the big old stereotypical type like in the cartoon. That's Hansel and Gretel capacity right there.

You’d probably want to speak with your local foundry about it or ask your preferred blacksmith. Though you could always cast your own

My parents have a couple to make Mexican Carnitas and other things for parties. You can get them from mexican stores(usually in bigger cities) or something like the swap meet in Las Vegas.

I love that this conversation is taking place between the school librarian and the substitute teachers

See here Becky, nobody calls boiling soup "barbequing". When I come outside to boil some stew we'll call it witchcraft, savvy?
