    Monks did most of the writing and artwork.

    Monks main diet was brassicas.

    They grew their own food.

    Do the math, it’s wish fulfillment

          I read their response not as “The correct plural is brassica”, but as “Friggin’ everything is a brassica cultivar”.

          If you didn’t know: cabbage, kale, broccoli, kohlrabi, brussels sprouts, collard greens and cauliflower are all selectively bred cultivars of the same species.

      I think you’re really on to something here, if you don’t work in history or something, you should run this by a historian or scholar and see what they think

      This makes so much sense, is there any evidence? I don’t want to spread the rumor as a fun fact unless there’s something behind it. Very fun idea!

      Hey, that’s clever. Snails are a scourge of gardening. “I want to kill those suckers.”

      It makes sense that they made doodles of their desirrd victory over the garden-munching snails.

      That’s my guess too. Snail plague there heart to be evidence of it somewhere. Also when did escargot become popular?
