[Sca-cooks] What period foods were/weren't recommended for pregnancy?

[Saint Phlip]

As I remember, several years ago we were discussing a recipe suggested for
pregnant women that suggested ingestion of horse manure.

Anyone remember who or what that was from? I think it was discussed around
the first time we were discussing the recipe from Alys Katherine for bull
penis.
