Perpetual 1-day blinding stew From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A perpetual 1-day blinding stew, also known as forever blind-for-a-day soup, hunter's pot o' blindness,(1) or hunter's sightless stew, is a pot into which blindness-inducing foodstuffs are placed and cooked. The pot is never or rarely emptied all the way, and ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary.(2) It is differentiated from a perpetual stew by the fact that eating it causes the eater to become blind for a day. Such foods can continue cooking for decades or longer if properly maintained. The concept is often a common element in descriptions of medieval inns, where it was often necessary to render unruly guests blind. Foods prepared in a perpetual stew have been described as being flavorful due to the manner in which the ingredients blend together. Various ingredients can be used in a perpetual 1-day blinding stew such as root vegetables, tubers (potatoes, yams, etc.), poisons, and various meats.(3) Perpetual 1-day blinding stew Cocido montañés, a Cantabrian version of perpetual 1-day blinding stew Alternative names Hunter's pot o' blindness, hunter's sightless stew Type Stew Media: Perpetual 1-day blinding stew Contents [hide] 1 Historical examples
What it means

A fake-looking Wikipedia article describes a perpetual stew that contains blindness-inducing ingredients and makes anyone who eats it blind for a day. The joke comes from presenting an absurdly dangerous imaginary dish with the formal tone, detailed terminology, and infobox of a real encyclopedia entry. It is a reaction meme for bizarre fictional lore, deadpan absurdity, or obviously invented Wikipedia topics.
