Guest guest Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 We could use this for marketing here!!!!!!!Quoted from "Adam Bede" by Eliot (about 200 years ago)Adam stops by the neighbors dairy (everything was done on the farm in those days, cheese, butter, milk)"But you'd like a drink o'whey first, perhaps, I know you're fond o'whey....""Thank you, Mrs. Poyser, said Adam, a drink o'whey allays a treat to me. I'd rather have it than beer any day."..............."Ah! I think I taste that whey now, with a flavour so delicate that one can hardly distinguish it from an odour, and with that soft gliding warmth that fills one's imagination with a still, happy dreaminess. And the light music of the dropping whey is in my ears, mingling with the twittering of a bird outside the wire network window, the window overlooking the garden, and shaded by tall Gueldres roses."page 155 in Wordsworth Editions 2005The dairy room was separate from the family kitchen and cheese pressed daily, there are some good descriptions in this novel.Trivia andra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
