A traditional English dessert that requires putting all the ingredients together and then milking a cow into the mix is “Syllabub.” I like the name. Here is the recipe I have seen:
Quart of sweet cider
Refined sugar
Grate nutmeg into it
Milk cow into it
Add 1/2 more of cream
Now, based on that recipe, I would hardly want to try making this. Also, I do not have a cow, a major drawback, if the recipe is to be followed exactly.
Looking at Wikipedia, I found this entry for Syllabub.
I noticed that there is a recipe for Lemon Syllabub. I wondering if one is instructed to squeeze the lemon juice right off the tree. Hmmm … Oh well, I amuse myself with such clever thoughts. LOL
