And God Said: Eat Not Of The Foulness That Is Lettuce!
Posted on February 10th, 2005 by mike
Here’s a religion I can really get behind: Yazidi, a sub-sect of (mostly Mosul, Iraq-based) Kurds.
According to the Yazidi, Malak Taus is a fallen peacock angel who repented and recreated the world that had been broken. He filled seven jars with his tears and used them to quench the fire in Hell … The Yazidi holy books are the Book of Revelation and the Black Book. The latter forbids eating of lettuce or butter beans and wearing of dark blue.
HP Lovecraft even namechecked them in The Horror At Red Hook.
