Curds and whey

—-and junket is made with fresh milk, not sour. That would taste gross!

I can still remember the picture in my nursery rhyme book and Miss Muffet was sitting on a tussock! Perhaps it’s derived from that!

My husband is so proud to come from Brookman's Park in Hertfordshire, where there is a Moffat's Lane. In the dim and distant past, there was a real Mr Moffat who was an entomologist with an interest in spiders.

Little Miss Muffet lived in much harder times than now with no supermarkets and on demand Uber deliveries or Universal Credit.

And people were so poor, nothing was wasted.

Looked up Junket. Sounds awful, a bit like re engineered low fat cottage cheese.

The Spider in the rhyme, probably just liked dipping its newly caught flies in the curds and whey. Brought out the flavour really well.

As for your freezer. I have real walking difficulties, painful artthritis and cannot carry much.n
So when l do go food shopping with the help of local disabled transport.
I have two freezers.

About once a fortnight. l can buy enough food to last. Yo can freeze bread and milk. Not wonderful but OK.

So do keep your large freezer My Dear.

You may really need it in the future

I remember my mother making fruit flavoured junket using a few drops from a little bottle of flavoured rennet added to fresh, full cream milk. I seem to remember I quite liked it.

Have always disliked milk, when we had it at school it was always luke warm and made me feel sick, eventually my mum had to send a letter saying I couldn’t drink the milk due to a stomach problem.
Curds and whey or junket sounds awful to me but am sure is delicious if you like that kind of thing.

My old nan called a little three legged stool near the fireplace a tuffet.

Junket won’t be the same as it needs to be made from unpasteurised very creamy milk.

Rennet can still be purchased though. I think Waitrose sell it.

I might just try that.. Fond memories. Tesco have full cream Jersey on offer at the moment....

I do have far too much in my freezer, and my pantry. I am trying to cut down.
My DGS used to come for his tea, so a pile of various things, and veg alternatives for his friend. But he is old enough to go straight home now <sob>, so I emptied the junk food part into his parent's freezer, and gave his friend's mother a nice surprise with a load of veg sausages, burgers and lasagna.
But in tidying, I found some things I did not even know were there, so lunch for the next few weeks, is going to be different <lol>

And I have discovered that I really do need to label items for the freezer. I always think 'oh I will remember what that is'. Err, no I don't. So many miscellaneous bags, with dear knows what in them.

Yes, and it isn't an age thing, I have always labelled containers in the freezer for just that reason.
