In Salem Village, an ingredient commonly mentioned in the witches' cake was rye meal, which was often mixed with the urine of the afflicted. This cake was believed to be a form of witchcraft intended to identify witches by feeding it to a dog; if the dog reacted adversely, it was thought to confirm the presence of witchcraft. The practice reflected the hysteria and superstition surrounding the witch trials during that period.
