Curds and whey

I think that a tusset was a tusset of grass. I’m sure as children we all sat off grass tussets.

It may have been junket. I used to eat it regularly as a child accompanied by clotted cream, nutmeg and soft fruits.

Utterly delicious.

Rennet used to separate the milk, but it was heated with sugar all then left to set.

Thank you all.
I always thought a tuffet was like a pouffe .

It is.

I can remember, just after the last war, my grandmother making cottage cheese from whole milk that was slightly 'off'. She would let it go completely off, until it was curds and whey, then put it in a muslin bag and hung it ouside from a hook by the kitchen door. The whey just dripped out and into the

Curds are the solid parts of milk. Whey is the liquid part. You use curds to make cottage cheese and junket. I would definitely complain, particularly about the long delay

Indeed olderme aren’t the curds like cottage cheese?..which I fancy sometimes (Longlea Farm?)
Can’t afford to send a postcard these days 😄
But, what actually is a tuffet as it is not in the dictionary🤗

I think curds and whey was an old name for junket.

I don't think we are allowed to complain, because there wouldn't be a right of reply available.

Even worse, it is going to take 3 weeks before an engineer is able to visit. 😲

No, complain!

Are we allowed to name and shame?

Mine is only 6 months old. I could only cook a very few items. You forget how difficult is is to be without a fridge in the summer. Even worse, it is going to take 3 weeks before an engineer is able to visit.
I certainly won't be buying anything from that company again.

Are the contents of your fridge/freezer covered on house insurance?
How upsetting. It did happen to us a couple of times - nearly new freezer as well, but we rescued most of the food in time. At least the freezer was still under warranty.
Could you cook anything or has it all gone off?

Curds and whey 🤔 perhaps you could make cheese?
