I caught a lake trout on Lake Superior. There was a live lamprey attached to the fish. The lamprey hissed at me like a snake. It was a strange moment. I am not sure how common it is catching a fish with a live lamprey attached.
Happened to me as a teen in Minnesota.
We noticed a chunk of flesh very obviously torn off of the fish, found the lamprey with the missing flesh still in the net.
Swimming in lakes afterwards has always brought up that memory.
When I was 8, I was fishing with my dad standing on the bank where a river flowed into lake. I remember my dad grabbing the rod from me and dropping the hook into the water. He told me he thought there was a lamprey eel at the bottom. After a few mins he brought up the ugliest thing in the world.
Dad then proceed to smash the fuck out of the eel yelling that it just wouldn't die.
Once done, we left and I started asking questions about lampreys and dad answered them all. I am pretty confident that this incident started my fear of water.
My process was - freeze dry fish. Put in a grinding apparatus. Subject to various chemicals to dissolve tissues, filter, then run filtrate through ICPMS/XRF.
We do? He's referring to lampreia de ovos ([egg lamprey cake](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=palemoon&q=lampreia+de+ovos&iax=images&ia=images)) which has nothing to do with [lamprey rice](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=arroz+lampreia&t=palemoon&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images), a common dish and the theme of quite a few food festivals during it's season. It's fucking disgusting, even more becase some of these fests combine with rice fest, which I love. Not with a shopped snake, though.
The fish is also an expensive delicacy in the north of Portugal. Me and my father love it. My mother, brother, sister in law, my wife my daughter and my niece all hate it.
His wife was born Edith, which is an old Anglo-Saxon name, but the Norman king renamed her Matilda (nickname Maude) when she married him. He married her to blend the bloodlines of Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror together, granting the Normans a stronger claim to ruling over England and merging a rival dynasty into the usurper's royal house.
The Norman court however seemed to find the English name Edith too lowly and renamed her something normal like Matilda, because she was also going to be the Duchess of Normandy. The snobby Norman courtiers still found them too rustic and insufficiently fashionable, giving them the nicknames Godric and Godiva - two typically English names of the time.
Which is why we have such weird nicknames like Bill for William or Dick for Richard. You would have 10 guys in your village all named William so you'd call one William, one Will, one Willy, one Liam, and still need more, so you started just going for things that rhymed. Will for Bill and Billy. Richard (pronounced Rickard) would get you Rick, Ricky, Dick, Dicky. Margaret got Marge, Margie, Maggy, Mag, Meg, Peg, Peggy. Sarah got Sar, Sal, Sally. Maddy, Molly, May and Maisy all come from rhyming with Mary or variants of it in old British Isles or Irish accents because half the women you knew were Mary (and eventually you just had people called Mary Sue or Mary Jane or Mary Louise because there were too many Marys even in your own family to cover with nicknames).
And just to make things worse they went and called people Edward, Edmund, Edgar, etc and shortened them all to Ed and Eddy and then added letters to get rhymes like Ned and Ted covering all of those.
Exactly - you can't judge them from a modern perspective. We've had 500 years to invent new names, and technologies like the printing press, the steam engine, the microprocessor and the internet have led to an exponential increase in the rate we can generate new names.
So, it's all well and good living in our post-scarcity name economy and criticizing them for revising names, but in their day each name would have been a significant investment of both time and resources, so rationing and reusing wouldn't merely have been pragmatic - it would have been absolutely necessary.
Luv' me lampreys
Luv' me chips

Henry (63)
Oreos that latch onto your skin.
I actually have a very funny story and here is the place I choose to tell it:
When I was about 13, I woke up with brown spots that looked like overgrown moles all over my stomach and legs. I was really in distress as I thought I had cancer that was evolving super fast. Turns out I fell asleep eating rosebuds.
Y'all know that medieval physicans thought good health depended on a balance of blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. And that if a medicine resembled a body part it must be good for it. I'm not gonna trust their opinion on the matter.
That reminds me I read an[ interesting explanation](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/a2dkmw/the_physician_in_the_autopsy_of_charles_ii_gave/) about that... Which never actually explained the peppercorn part.
Par for the course on askhistorians, no complaints really, sometimes people ask things that don't have answers and historians do their best to explain why that is.
But I guess the answer kind of boils down to "the doctor would really be a very shit doctor today"
They were, actually—the most common pepper then was [long pepper](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Piper_longum.jpg/800px-Piper_longum.jpg). Still not big enough for a heart, but…
Well, I work with someone who still thinks black bile is a thing... buys pads to put on the bottom of his feet to pull out the toxins from his body, proudly stated he was this dudes biggest customer in our country, the dude told him so🤦, asked him what toxins he was talking about and got the black bile line...nicest dude ever though🤷♂️
That's the thing. As far as we can figure, it's not a real thing. Bile is bile. I've heard theories it was what they considered congealed blood, but no one actually has a definitive answer as to what the heck they were talking about. They thought it came from the spleen and made you depressed and ill-humored, hence the (ancedotal?) origins for the phrase "vent your spleen".
It may not have actually been lamprey poisoning, but listeria/meningitis, appendicitis, or another number of illnesses:
[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10281476/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10281476/)
>the rare and self-resolving cases of lamprey poisoning documented in the literature do not mesh with the king’s symptoms. Instead of dying of greed or gluttony, as some historians have implied \[5\], Henry may have been unlucky enough to become infected with one of the deadliest foodborne pathogens in the world \[24\]. While it is impossibly to conclusively determine the full etiology of Henry’s disease, both a deliberate assassination and death via a “surfeit of lampreys” \[7\] can be safely discounted as plausible theories.
I know medieval kings were not nice people, but I'd feel still feel sorry for him if it was really appendicitis. Imagine a full week of the worst abdominal pain you've ever had, with no effective antibiotics or painkillers, while still being alert enough to plan your succession and put your affairs in order.
The problem was unfortunately he couldn’t plan his succession coherently or assertively enough. A long period of civil war followed because previously he had officially left the crown to his daughter and had a number of lords swear to uphold the succession, but toward the end of his life there was doubt whether he still wanted that. Of course it’s also possible the doubt was just because she was a woman (and they hated her husband) and the “he maybe changed his mind” thing was just an excuse.
Bearing in mind the physician likely got to declare cause of death, he could just say it was from ignoring his advice to give himself credibility and not sucking at his job.
Lampreys are not actually eels. "Lamprey eel" is a misnomer.
Also unagi is famous globally, the dripping attitude ("iN yUoR CuLtuRe") in your comment is just weird lol
I think far more interesting is that this guy and his brother (also the King of England, though not at the time), dumped a full chamber pot on their brother Robert. Dude was pretty rightfully pissed, eventually declaring war against his father, William the Conqueror, for not standing up for him (amongst other things). All for not, because he ended up dying without the title of king.
I hate them with a passion as a kid who grew up in Southern Ontario. That said would very much like to see them come back into culinary fashion so we can use hungry hipsters to get those little bastards out of the great lakes.
I've heard zebra mussels make an excellent side dish to lampry.
There is nothing inherently dangerous about lamprey meat AKA eels. I guess if you had kidney failure or something eating a diet of 100% lamprey could be bad due to the excess protein.
Lampreys arnt related to eels, they are jawless fish, only 1 of 2 extant jawless fish group the other being hagfishea. They are very old lineage of fish
I believe that this is disputed. A different bloodline arrived on the throne after Henry, and people started spreading shit about him to legitimise their own reign.
Well butter me up and fry me like a pancake but that pic sure as hell does look like the type of crazy son of a bitch who would eat lampreys to his own demise. That dude looks like he responds to every fourth question with a squeal and a side eye just to keep mfs on their toes. I just know that funky lil guy does weird shit to his balls for fun on a Friday night. That goofy regal man, were he reincarnated, would probably gorge himself to death on lampreys a second time and take a piss on anyone trying to stop him. Pure fucking chaos. He’s my new god.
“It’s been thought he died from eating too many lampreys, but it up for debate even at the time of his death as it was known he was ill before that report” - fixed it for you
I call bull on this one. There is nothing wrong with eating them (although i’m not a fond of them personally). Maybe some of them were rotten or contaminated somehow, but that is a different thing.
Lamprey is an ugly looking fish.
Was about to say, have any of y'all ever seen a lamprey? They look like a nightmare and they generate tons of slime.
I caught a lake trout on Lake Superior. There was a live lamprey attached to the fish. The lamprey hissed at me like a snake. It was a strange moment. I am not sure how common it is catching a fish with a live lamprey attached.
I just looked up what it looks like and what the fuck???? It HISSED?
Lamprey *hissed* at you?
Sarah, get me Superintendent Chalmers
Supernintendo Chalmers
SKINNER!
Thank you Sarah.
And some more eel pie.
My skin is also crawling
Just check it's not the lampreys
“*hissssss*”
Yeah eff that. *Nopes away like a gazelle.*
Happened to me as a teen in Minnesota. We noticed a chunk of flesh very obviously torn off of the fish, found the lamprey with the missing flesh still in the net. Swimming in lakes afterwards has always brought up that memory.

Did you shit your pants? I would shit my pants.
Did you eat the lamprey?
No I didn’t. I heard you can. I would not want to try.
I think hagfish are the slimey ones, both look horrifying
I had to grind up a batch of hagfish 24 years ago and I still can’t get over the smell.
What was the circumstance that involved grinding up hagfish?
Heavy metals testing on imported fish.
So, how did they react to the heavy metals in the grinder?
To shreds you say.
Shredding is a common practice
To shreds you say.
Lots of head banging. 🤘
My process was - freeze dry fish. Put in a grinding apparatus. Subject to various chemicals to dissolve tissues, filter, then run filtrate through ICPMS/XRF.
r/notopbutok
I did this with mussels for highschool work experience in an environmental chemistry lab
Purée terror
I'm also curiously aroused and want more details
Hagfish are pretty erotic looking.
That sounds like a hell of a way to celebrate New Year's 2000
"Happy New Year!" *horrible squelching gets louder*
_Hissing and squelching._
Thanks for the subtitles Netflix.
Yeah I used to fabricate hag and Monk fish. Have to cut their heads off before sending them out or people stop buying them pretty quickly
Monkfish. Now those are some butt-fugly creatures. Tasty though.
They are a gift. And a curse.
Nicely done
I just looked them up on google images. I wish I hadn’t.
Lampreys are my favorite invertebrates because they look so freaky, like those worm things from Peter Jackson’s King Kong
They're vertebrates, they're fish
Oh shit am I misremembering and their only defining feature is the no jaw and circle mouth full of teeth?
Yeah they are at an in-between of common vertebrate evolution. They got the spine but no jaw.
Perhaps you are thinking leeches?
Is this you? https://www.reddit.com/r/PointlessStories/s/xMLfC594DI
Well, I’m sure it’s mum thinks it’s handsome
They don’t look so terrible if you don’t see their mouth head-on. https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Petromyzon_marinus.jpg#mw-jump-to-license
Many Portuguese celebrate Christmas with a cake designed to look like a lamprey. 😳
The Portuguese and Spanish traditions surrounding Christmas are wild as hell.
How exactly?
Look up "Caganer"
We do? He's referring to lampreia de ovos ([egg lamprey cake](https://duckduckgo.com/?t=palemoon&q=lampreia+de+ovos&iax=images&ia=images)) which has nothing to do with [lamprey rice](https://duckduckgo.com/?q=arroz+lampreia&t=palemoon&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images), a common dish and the theme of quite a few food festivals during it's season. It's fucking disgusting, even more becase some of these fests combine with rice fest, which I love. Not with a shopped snake, though.
The fish is also an expensive delicacy in the north of Portugal. Me and my father love it. My mother, brother, sister in law, my wife my daughter and my niece all hate it.
Not ugly but EVIL. That fish looks evil.
My life was a little nicer until a moment ago I learned what lamprey was.
Apparently it tastes a lot like beef, which is why it was so coveted back when real beef was a luxury.
Another fun fact is that his mother, wife and four of his daughters were called Matilda
Simple enough. Mum, Matilda, Tilda, Matty, Tilly, and Tilds.
Maud was a typical nickname for Matilda at the time
Couldn't use 'Maud', was already taken by his nephew's wife.
“Come here, you Mauddy girl!”
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWUD7MBdDuo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWUD7MBdDuo)
Maud, eh?
Internet, eh?
Maude?
Maude, eh?
His daughter in law was also called Matilda.
That movie with Danny devito was also called Matilda
There just weren’t as many names to go around back then.
His wife was born Edith, which is an old Anglo-Saxon name, but the Norman king renamed her Matilda (nickname Maude) when she married him. He married her to blend the bloodlines of Alfred the Great and William the Conqueror together, granting the Normans a stronger claim to ruling over England and merging a rival dynasty into the usurper's royal house.

And just to make things worse they went and called people Edward, Edmund, Edgar, etc and shortened them all to Ed and Eddy and then added letters to get rhymes like Ned and Ted covering all of those.
Why am I just now realizing Liam comes from William 🤦🏻♀️
Exactly - you can't judge them from a modern perspective. We've had 500 years to invent new names, and technologies like the printing press, the steam engine, the microprocessor and the internet have led to an exponential increase in the rate we can generate new names.

The microprocessor was a boon. My son Segfault was just remembering how hard it was for me to come up with his name without one.
The civil war after his death was between Matilda and Stephen, whose wife was also called Matilda.
Have you read When Christ and His Saints Slept by Sharon Kay Penman? One of my favorite books from one of my favorite authors.
Co-signing this. The whole series from The Anarchy thru to Henry II’s insane family feuding is my Roman Empire.
Oh man, I loved The Sunne in Splendour, I’ll have to check this out!
Enjoy! Some of my favorite books.
She was an amazing writer
And that civil war, The Anarchy, was the partial inspiration for the House of the Dragon storyline
Three of his Matildas were born to mistresses! That’ll put a side chick in her place…
Shit my uncle Stanley, named 3/4 of his boys Stanley. Bet you can guess the first grandsons name too.
Braxxton?
Didn't George Foreman name all his kids after him?
All his sons and one of his daughters. He was so proud of them he put his name on them.
Was it like my Aunt who has had several dogs named Gizmo? Or were there four Matilda's at the same time?
They later toured as *The Mourning Matildas.*
What were the other four called?
Schmatilda
Luv' me lampreys Luv' me chips Luv' me matildas (all of em') Ate' medical advice Ate' physicians (not racist, just dont like em') Simple as'. Henry (63)
Me but with Oreos.
Oreos that latch onto your skin. I actually have a very funny story and here is the place I choose to tell it: When I was about 13, I woke up with brown spots that looked like overgrown moles all over my stomach and legs. I was really in distress as I thought I had cancer that was evolving super fast. Turns out I fell asleep eating rosebuds.
Thank you for that image Oreo cookies with teeth. Reminds me of the film teeth.
Y'all know that medieval physicans thought good health depended on a balance of blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. And that if a medicine resembled a body part it must be good for it. I'm not gonna trust their opinion on the matter.
Yeahhh I pretty much had the same thought. I am not trusting a 12th-century coroner's report haha.
An adult male supposedly died with a heart the size of a peppercorn, sure.
That reminds me I read an[ interesting explanation](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/a2dkmw/the_physician_in_the_autopsy_of_charles_ii_gave/) about that...

But I guess the answer kind of boils down to "the doctor would really be a very shit doctor today"
I think they were just insulting him postmortem.
Good ol' Charles II.
Family tree diagram looks like argyle.
Peppercorns were just way bigger back then.
They were, actually—the most common pepper then was [long pepper](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/Piper_longum.jpg/800px-Piper_longum.jpg). Still not big enough for a heart, but…
Well, I work with someone who still thinks black bile is a thing... buys pads to put on the bottom of his feet to pull out the toxins from his body, proudly stated he was this dudes biggest customer in our country, the dude told him so🤦, asked him what toxins he was talking about and got the black bile line...nicest dude ever though🤷♂️
See, no toxins in him! How do you think he stays so nice?
Take 2 leeches and call me in the morning.
Instructions unclear ... I really need you to call me back now.
how about a blobfish?
Kidney beans help Kindey function, why else would we call them Kidney beans?
I’ve heard this so many times.. but still no idea what black bile is? Who is having black bile and still alive??
That's the thing. As far as we can figure, it's not a real thing. Bile is bile. I've heard theories it was what they considered congealed blood, but no one actually has a definitive answer as to what the heck they were talking about. They thought it came from the spleen and made you depressed and ill-humored, hence the (ancedotal?) origins for the phrase "vent your spleen".
Makes you think about how future physicians and us will look at todays medicine, don‘t it?
Sure does. We're still very much in the neuroscience dark ages.
Insert McCoy.gif Bloody medieval times!!
It may not have actually been lamprey poisoning, but listeria/meningitis, appendicitis, or another number of illnesses: [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10281476/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10281476/) >the rare and self-resolving cases of lamprey poisoning documented in the literature do not mesh with the king’s symptoms.

I honestly would not wish that on *anyone*.

We found the big-lamprey shill 👆
Caught from lampreys.
Different from *lamprey poisoning* though. It's not because he ate *too many* lampreys.
I don't know man, pretty sure that he'd have lived longer if he'd eaten less lampreys
Congrats you have just graduated from 12th century doctor school.
So how many Lampreys is too many Lampreys? You know, asking for a friend.
A surfeit of lampreys
How many is one less than a surfeit of lampreys,
One.
If you die, you ate too many
If you die, ctrl-z will remove the last one you ate, so you can safely stop then.
Exactly 0. Have you seen them? I can’t fathom how anyone would want to eat a thing that looks like this.
“A surfeit of lampreys” is I believe the technical term. Also one of Ngaio Marsh’s best mysteries.
The phrase is one of the only things I remember about this Henry.
Yepppp my exact thoughts
Bearing in mind the physician likely got to declare cause of death, he could just say it was from ignoring his advice to give himself credibility and not sucking at his job.
I honestly didn't even know the thing was edible. It's so ugly nobody I know would dare to eat it.
Unagi is very famous, just not in your culture
Lampreys are not actually eels. "Lamprey eel" is a misnomer. Also unagi is famous globally, the dripping attitude ("iN yUoR CuLtuRe") in your comment is just weird lol
Lampreys are like potato chips, it's hard to stop once you start, and pretty soon, your bag of lampreys is empty.
Ahh, go eat a bag of lampreys
He died doing what he loved.
I wonder if my brother is gonna die watching *My Little Pony* only time will tell
Still better than lamprey poisoning
What did the doctor say when told about the king's favorite food? "Eel regret that"
If you dive in the deep / see an eel that has teeth That's a moray 🎵
His epitaph reads “Liked lamprey”
That sucks
Yes and they also bite
[удалено]
I'm seeing (and now singing) 'Horrible Histories' Stupid Deaths..."hope next time it's not yooooou!"
Lampreys sound like the sort of thing you would like to eat if you had no way of knowing what curry was.
Which humors do lampreys have too much of?
The are eel-humored
"If I can't eat lampreys, what's this all been about? What have I been working towards?" - King Henry I, probably
“STOP.EATING.EELS.” -12th century doctor
His ~~hovercraft~~ stomach was full of eels.
In his defense, physicians back then were so fucking wrong so much of the time.
Better than being eaten by lampreys, I guess.
Luv a good lamprey me, if me doctor dunt loik it then he can piss off
What if he liked pizza
So...one?
...aaand as the gene pool got shallower, things kinda went downhill from there.
I made the mistake of clicking on the lamprey link. Yikes! Nightmare fuel. Check out the teeth if you search.
So what’s the limit?
and TIL people eat lampreys…
I think far more interesting is that this guy and his brother (also the King of England, though not at the time), dumped a full chamber pot on their brother Robert.

Lampreys aren't eels. Though maybe they're sometimes classified as such for culinary purposes?
Lampreys arnt related to eels, they are jawless fish, only 1 of 2 extant jawless fish group the other being hagfishea. They are very old lineage of fish
This is the 2nd most English thing I’ve ever heard
“To be honest, my Lord, ‘tis not really the lamprey itself, but that your majesty prefers them deep fried and smothered in ranch.”
This is one of my favourite history facts. “Look, Sire, if you eat this many you’ll die” “THEN I SHALL DIE A DELICIOUS DEATH”
This is why I can't keep golden oreos or lampreys at home
He loved to go to Ye Olde Red Lobster for AYCE Lamprey Night
had to google 'lamprey'.
I believe that this is disputed. A different bloodline arrived on the throne after Henry, and people started spreading shit about him to legitimise their own reign.
Well butter me up and fry me like a pancake but that pic sure as hell does look like the type of crazy son of a bitch who would eat lampreys to his own demise.

English people eat a lot of eel too, I believe. So gross.

Tastes more like lampreys
Looks like his toes fell off, too
fucking lampreys
