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.

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
What barbecuing?
See here Becky, nobody calls boiling soup “barbequing”. When I come outside to boil some stew we’ll call it witchcraft, savvy?
