The codpiece, which was popular in the 15th and 16th centuries, is a bag, covered by a flap of fabric that could be laced or pinned shut, and was sewn onto the crotch of men's trousers to provide a handy container for storing one's lunch. Historians generally consider it to have been the forerunner of both the modern lunch box and the fanny pack. Because of the Medieval fondness for fish, particularly cod, the container became known as a "codpiece."
